17-Year-Old Margrethe Hosts Queen Elizabeth II in Denmark (1957)

On 21 May 1957, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh began their state visit to Denmark, where they were hosted by King Fredrik IX, Queen Ingrid, and their daughter, 17-year-old Princess Margrethe. Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were first welcomed into the Palace of Arnalienborg, while the coming days included visits to a porcelain factory, Skovgard School, and the Hermitage Hunting Lodge, and Copenhagen's Royal Theatre.
Queen Margrethe II abdicates the Danish throne today, 14 January 2023, in favour of her son, Crown Prince Frederik. Her abdication comes on the 52nd anniversary of her ascent to the throne.

[@lukanurijanyan1077]

Today Queen margrethe II leave your queen status 😢🇩🇰🤝🇬🇧❤

[@cathal4921]

Her title is still Queen Margrethe :)

[@FiveRiversCity]

Once a Queen, always a Queen. 👑

[@littleannie390]

There is a mistake in the description. It says Margarethe abdicated on 14th January 2023 and it should be 2024.

[@annetak693]

Queen Margrethe appears for a few seconds ( just for the record.) The British Royal couple is rather received by her parents.

[@gerardacronin334]

Then-Princess Margarethe appears several times during the clip, in three different settings, wearing three different outfits. She was stunningly beautiful as a young woman.

Her majesty queen margrethe looks like a doll

[@anacletwilliams8315]

King Fredrik was a great host to our late and beloved Queen Elizabeth II. We miss her so very much.

[@TerrelLism]

Those curtsies were something serious back in the day!

[@burizaemon9305]

Like Elizabeth II, Queen Margrethe II is great great grandchildren of Queen Victoria too..😊

[@vernelledouglas1801]

Nice to see her at this age.

[@emb74]

She was so cute as a young girl.

[@anacletwilliams8315]

Yes she was. And I was very cute too as a young girl a long time ago.

Lovely to see HMY Britannia she must have been quite new in 1957

[@masterproductions5129]

How come this video has no sound.

[@anacletwilliams8315]

At that time recording the heads of state was not allowed.

[@railiedouglas3018]

Why is there no sound?

[@jamielyallleathan]

So the myth that it was forbidden to touch the late Queen Elizabeth II was false! In this video they touched on the late Queen Elizabeth II three times!

[@littleannie390]

Who said it was forbidden to touch her, she spent her life shaking hands. It was protocol for her to reach out first. Also that rule didn’t apply to other royal families, especially the related ones, they often used to hug each other.

[@wardarcade7452]

Well, the-then Crown Princess Margarethe and her parents were cousins of Elizabeth II via both Christian IX of Denmark and Queen Victoria! BTW, in private, they called each other their family nicknames of 'Lilibet' and 'Daisy' (since that's a translation of Margaret in French).

[@ingeborgsuckel8858]

Prince Phillip was second cousin with king Frederick IX

[@sathiavathithiagarajan7476]

For him it would have been a home coming experience

[@lj1865]

So Margrethe didn't host the Queen then?

[@Victormn-po4dn]

her status was Princess, the default is for the King or Queen Consort to host the Monarch. She greeted him soon after with a bow.

[@lj1865]

[@AnnMiller-oe3it]

No audi

[@AngelinaCruz357]

Why is it that only women curtsy?

[@AngelinaCruz357]

It's clearly a gender bias.

[@jonesnori]

I think it has to do with historic gender division in clothing, but I'm guessing, and it's still arbitrary either way. There's nothing to stop someone in a skirt from bowing instead, as gentlemen in kilts indeed do. Perhaps it was invented because certain styles of upper clothing would show too much if a woman bowed? (That is even a wilder guess, sorry.)

[@Lucy0809]

Lovely ❤So sad they have both left their thrones to very dubious characters 😢

[@indigocheetah4172]

Why do you think that.

[@Multiversalelevations]

We are not republicans or royalist, we want to see freedom in Denmark, freedom of speech Ch, freedom of thinking, freedom for common sense and fereedom to care for all people equally. 🇩🇰Free Denmark from ductatirship. It has gone too far and for too long time🇩🇰 free is from a Monarchy who have intervened several times in European politics and change its course to the worse. 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰NOT a fairy tale anywhere and the media and historians want you to know the beautiful facts of a very dark nightmare. “historians” make false claims and do not research the subject. Only one British historian has made a clear statement about the end of world monarchies by 2030. He is so competent and also censored.
