The entire Danish royal family gathered yesterday for the annual opening of Parliament at the Christianborg Palace in Copenhagen. The women, in particular Crown Princess Mary and Princess Marie, were dressed fashionably with their lovely coats and hats. They also carried bouquets of autumn colored flowers.

Princess Benedikte, the younger sister of Queen Margrethe II, arrived first at about 11:45am. She was followed by Prince Joachim and Princess Marie, then by the Crown Princely couple. Last but not least to arrive was the Queen and her husband, Prince Henrik. She was greeted by Thor Pedersen, the Speaker of Parliament.
At noon, everyone went inside and sat in their box to watch the opening session. This year was a more special year since it was Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen’s first time opening Denmark’s Parliament.
Despite that, the royal family, even Queen Margrethe, looked noticeably bored during the session. Some members even looked like they were ready to fall asleep.
