I knew that there would be a gala event on the itinerary as QMI seems to really enjoy them. Prince Christian's 18th birthday celebrations seem to be similar to Norway's Princess Ingrid-Alexandra's. I wonder if the Danish court plans on inviting other young European royals?

I would say that many of the other Scandi royals will turn up to the celebrations, wouldn?t you? Not just the young ones like Princess I-A, but perhaps Harald and Sonja as well, plus Victoria and Daniel from Sweden. As for the other European royals, I guess it depends on their schedules. However I wouldn?t be surprised to see members of the SRF there, or Netherlands ones.

The invitations are printed and are being sent out. 200 eighteen year olds from all over Denmark and Greenland are being invited as well.

Yes, very exciting, and some of the almost 18 year olds have been picked by ballot. The evening ball celebration and banquet is apparently going to be white tie, so both the boys and girls chosen will probably be helped financially to enable them to buy suitable clothing and accessories.

Will any eighteen year olds of the Danish nobility be invited?

I?d imagine that if there are any 18 year olds who are offspring of family friends of the Crown Prince couple they will get an invite. Or close courtiers of Queen Margrethe who have children/grandchildren of the right age may be there too. Danish nobility doesn?t really count for much any more, though.

Do you think some people were expecting Prince Christian to be wearing a suit in his portrait of the birthday stamp?

No. I don?t think the Danish royals, headed by Queen Daisy, are conventional in that way. Christian being photographed in male Greenland attire doesn?t really surprise me. The Queen and her heirs are proud of their association with Greenland and visit it on the Danish royal yacht each year.

Today is the big day! Happy  18th Birthday to Prince Christian of Denmark! Today he received his late grandfather Prince Henrik's Order of the Elephant.

HRH Prince Christian is bestowed the Order of The Elephant

QuoteHer Majesty The Queen has today October 15, 2023 bestowed the Order of The Elephant upon His Royal Highness Prince Christian. The bestowal took place privately in Frederik VIII?s Palace, Amalienborg, this morning. The Prince will thus be able to wear the Order of the Elephant?s so-called rosette on the lapel of his jacket when The Prince steps out on the balcony of Frederik VIII?s Palace at 12:00 October 15, 2023. The rosette indicates that the wearer is a Knight of the Danish Order of the Elephant, and is typically worn on official occasions when major decorations are not worn. Prince Christian will wear the Order of the Elephant at the gala dinner at Christiansborg Palace later today.

New photo of the prince released today. DET DANSKE KONGEHUS ?? on Instagram: "Tillykke til Hans Kongelige H?jhed Prins Christian, der i dag fylder 18 ?r ?? Det officielle program for dagens :bday7:

I wondered whether Christian would get the Elephant for his 18th birthday,  and here it is! Terrific! I?ll bet he is very proud.

Here's an excellent blog post about this milestone in Christian's life. It includes translations of the speeches as well.

Absolutely gorgeous photos of all the female heirs, roses around the thorn (Christian and how tall is he!) Everyone looks so happy to be there and are ready for an enjoyable evening. The Danish RF earlier on the balcony looked great including the Queen, though she probably misses Pr Henrik on these occasions. Christian was very confident on the balcony waving to the gathered Danes below. I think it?s been a lovely 18th birthday celebration that struck just the right note.

Gert?s Royals Twitter says




QuotePrince Christian of Denmark has been given the Order of Elephant by his grandmother Queen Margrethe to mark his 18th Birthday.

Denmark reuses orders, as they have to be given back after the holders death. Christian?s order belonged to his late grandfather Prince Henrik
That nice holders after Prince Henrik?s death they torch to grandson order and sash on 18th birthday

QuoteThe final part of Prince Christian?s 18th Birthday celebrations will be attending the Council of State Meeting on Tuesday, November 14th.

Christian will make solemn declaration that he will abide by the Constitution.

Christian will be appointed as one of the regents, and able to perform certain duties when the Monarch is ill or out of the country.

(Prince Christian will not have a seat in the Council of State until his father's accession, as the Council of State does not include the heir to the heir)
I understand that Prince Christian will not seat in the council of state till his grandmother?s death,sick out of country same future sovereign will get that someday

QuoteIn Denmark, the Council of State meetings are held 5 or 6 times a year (about every 2 months), which is why Prince Christian isn't attending until about a month after his 18th Birthday

 :hehe: In true Cinderella fashion, a slipper was left behind at the gala last night. The Royal Court's social media displayed  a photo of the missing shoe with a message.

I?m glad Christian has the Elephant. In spite of the mystery as to why a Scandinavian country would adopt an elephant as a visual symbol of its ancient Order I?ve always loved the beautiful representation of the creature in its insignia.

Wonder whether Christian will hunt down whose slipper it is?  :laugh:

Later: Oh, just read that it was a young guest from one of the 200 invitees from ordinary families. She left it as a prank! Now, that?s a bit disappointing!
