As the status of Greenland becomes the
topic of global debate again, Denmark’s royal family’s long love of
the country is once more in the spotlight. Its current monarch,
Frederik X, is so fond that he gave two of his four children
Greenlandic middle names. Meanwhile, his mother, Queen Margrethe,
received a special tiara to mark her Ruby Jubilee in 2012, a golden
gift from the people…

King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted the
second and third New Year’s Levees in Denmark: one for military and

It’s one of the oldest royal dukedoms of
all but it’s brought more drama than most and it took centuries for
one of its holders to have an heir to take it on. Right now, it
belongs to one of the most dutiful members of the Royal Family but
his predecessors have been more controversial, to say the least. In
fact, some caused so much trouble, the title was once said to be

Much like Queen Máxima, Queen Mathilde
loves a jewel tone, a print pattern and Natan. But comparing the
women side-by-side ends there because while Queen Máxima always
looks this side of vibrant and businesslike, Queen Mathilde’s

1960s competing for fashion headlines with Jacqueline Kennedy or
Audrey Hepburn, so…
Queen Máxima is a bonafide style maven
prone to bold colours, loud patterns, big jewellery and to-die-for
accessories and its always a treat to see her fashion sense in
action. Whether she’s opening museums or financial conferences or
welcoming heads of state from around…
Chic, luxurious, stylish… Princess
Charlene’s style is perfectly suited for the Mediterranean
principality she calls home. It’s been a happier and busier year
for the princess, with plenty of appearances alongside her husband

2024 has been the hardest year of his life, you sit back and take
stock of just what that means. With his father and his wife both
dealing with their own health scares, it fell to Prince William and
Queen Camilla to lead the Royal Family through the first half of
