New Stamps of Queen Margrethe II Issued

Casper Sejersen

In honor of Queen Margrethe II’s 70th birthday in April, the Danish postal service will be releasing a series of new stamps with the Queen’s portrait on them. The photographs were taken by Casper Sejersen.

“The shooting mode was completely different than I expected, but on the positive way,” Sejersen told Billed Bladet. “The Queen was alone in photography, and it created a calm atmosphere. I could clearly sense that the Queen herself was very interested that the portrait was good, and she was glad to see portraits immediately after the shooting.”

Queen Margrethe will celebrate her 70th birthday on April 16th 2010.
