The Crown Prince Couple just celebrated 16 years of marriage on May 14th. It was a memorable day. Not just for the couple, but for most of the world. Somehow, their fairytale story captured people from all across the globe. The wedding was huge and spectacular. Fairytale-like and most likely overwhelming for both of them. Such a wedding can never be mentioned too many times. Also because we all are so passionated about the Crown Princess' style, her wedding outfit is simply the ultimate, right? Celebrating 16 years together is remarkable and that is why we also need to take a look back in time with little 'fun facts' from the big day. I have gathered a bunch of well-known (and maybe new) facts covering May 14th 2004.
AN 80TH BIRTHDAY
Our beloved Queen Margrethe turns 80 years old this year. A lot was planned; ways to celebrate Denmark's and everybody else's Queen, but because of the ongoing situation with COVID-19 everything were canceled. I know many people, both in public and in private, had been looking forward to celebrate Queen Margrethe on her big day and she is still celebrated. Usually, I only write about the Crown Princess but this is such a historic day. I cannot miss reporting about, right? I also assume that many of you are interested in following how she is celebrated on her 80th birthday.
I speak for all of us, when I congratulate Queen Margrethe. We all wish her a wonderful and memorable day!
