Prince Christian's 18th birthday
15 October 2023
We have already been spoiled with so much the last couple of days and it continues. This noon, Prince Christian showed at the balcony of Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg along with his family. He was surrounded by the people who love him the most. Parents, siblings and grandmother.
Hundreds of Danes showed up at the Amalienborg square to get a glimpse of the family and (of course) the birthday boy himself. It was wonderful to see all of them together. Just look at the Crown Prince Couple. They are indeed proud of their firstborn.
The royal court also published new official photos on occasion of Prince Christian's birthday (here). Photographer Dennis Stenild captured yet another magical moment in the life of Danish royal family.
The day we first got a glimpse of the Prince a couple of days after his birth and when he was christened, Mary wore blue outfits. So did she when celebrating her firstborn on his 18th birthday. Mary wore her bespoke Søren Le Schmidt dress. She first wore it back in 2020 when attending Flag Day (here). The dress is so well-fitted and looks beautiful on her!
This time, Mary had chosen to embrace the style of her blue dreamy dress with large diamond earrings purchased at a Bruun Rasmussen auction and a couple of golden necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. Look closely and you will see two Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond rings.
Her stunning Connaught sapphire brooch is a present from Queen Margrethe to her daughter-in-law given to her birth of Prince Christian in 2005. Mary also wore it at his christening (here).
Mary completed her magnificent outfit with smashing reused Gianvito Rossi python pumps.

Nice family. Chistian 18 years old already. Time seems to have wings. Hope he had a splendid birthday celebration!
ReplyDeleteHardly think we are the only ones thinking that time flew by really fast. Must be incredible for the Crown Prince Couple to celebrate their firstborn son's 18th birthday :)
