State banquet for King Frederik X of Denmark during state visit to Norway 2024

King Harald V of Norway hosts a state banquet for king Frederik X of Denmark during his state visit to Norway.

[@mariacelestesantos8642]

king Frederik X is fantastic. I love very much this King. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jennibarnes140]

Mary is a wonderful catch for the royals, her intelligence is much appreciated ❤❤

[@user-gs3rv1bl4b]

King Frederick did not wait nor stand close by his wife. The behavior not usually described for a gentleman.

[@petracollins8623]

I think he is discourteus and rude, as though he just does his own thing. Not becoming of head of state.

[@Uunartoq2018]

Well, they are not too dramas like your British failed dynasty at least 😅 lol

[@supaphonsingsuwan4799]

Never mind we should wait and see . Queen Mary she’s very independent and very fit and healthy and so beautiful look amazingly.👍👏

[@AnastasiaIsabella]

Exactly she is independent. I don’t see why someone would compare her and her husband to the other two from uk 🇬🇧 ( William and Kate)

[@aivan-kw7rp]

Мэри была нормального телосложения для своих 50 лет. Зачем нужно было становиться физически крипто девушкой? Лучше бы она отговорила мужа и парламент не размещать в стране, на острове Борнхольм ракетный комплекс Mk 70, переданный США. Теперь крошечная Дания под прицелом! Хотя, это дохлый номер: Мэри очень активно работает против жителей Земли.

[@LucasAllers]

A queen? SHE IS NO NOBILITY - - - MORGANATIC MARRIAGE

[@annabelperkins3572]

I thought he would have waited for Queen Mary as she managed the plank in for evening gown!

[@jennibarnes140]

Mary is a competent woman, who can mange very nicely on her own, unlike arcahic British. I love the vid of William walking ahead in the rain under his umbrella. Silly Kate walked in the misty rain. 😂😂😂😂

[@SparkeysMum]

Yes, I would've thought that a husband who wants to get back into his wife's good graces would take a few second bds to make sure that she doesn't trip! It's called "good manners" and it works every time it's tried. 🤨

[@petelosuaniu]

The Sovereign does not wait.

[@AnastasiaIsabella]

@@jennibarnes140😂😂😂 I remember that

[@SparkeysMum]

@@petelosuaniu They are BOTH sovereigns, therefore "equals". Charles and Camilla are both sovereigns and she ought to match his pace...but she does like to stop and chat with the onlookers, to KC's chagrin, from what I've seen on TV.

[@SparkeysMum]

Yeah, I wondered why the King didn't wait for his Queen.

[@rosa.msantana.h5965]

Quizás...porque no es Genoveva..😉

[@AnastasiaIsabella]

It probably is protocol

[@SparkeysMum]

I remember that Prince Philip was always 2 steps behind Queen Elizabeth, which was protocol because he wasn't the same rank. But supposedly a King and Queen ARE the same rank, right? Not sure of what Danish royalty "rules" are so if anyone knows for sure, please comment and straighten me out! Many thanks, Friends. 👑

[@PatriciaCarrillo-nq4ko]

Siempre la deja botada, de verdad Mary da pena ajena. En cambio Joaquín es un caballero con su esposa, siempre muy atento con ella.

[@annettecurrie4623]

They may be running late for their next engagement!!!

[@engleonglim5857]

The King did take the seat further so that the Queen could board in easier. Rightfully he should have slowed down a bit. The chemistry between them not as good as before.

[@jogeraghty4774]

Could not believe king would not help her down plank or even wait for her. So thoughtless

[@cindymaceda2999]

Aussie girl meets a guy in a bar, marries a prince, becomes Queen of a Scandinavian country. What a dream life. She can get over a small indiscretion, thank you.😊

[@Aida-qy1ts]

(Queen) Mary becomes more beautiful and elegant as time goes by...

[@user-bms4y2jeio5wli]

Mary’s face looks strained… poor Mary… stay calm and pray. Just be patient…

[@ukachiallison7836]

Why was the king rushing into the car without a thought to his Queen to see if she was coming along??😡

[@rosa.msantana.h5965]

Porque..no es Genoveva...😉

[@Diane391]

That is what I am thinking too like he is trying to keep his distance from her as much as he can. Very rude and bad manners and unbecoming of a King who should be a role model of a good loving husband and a loyal family man.

[@PatriciaCarrillo-nq4ko]

Federico, todo un soberano patán.

[@aivan-kw7rp]

Потому что она ему не нужна, и давно!

[@bogsluger]

Protocol. If Mary needed a helping hand he’s always there for her

[@jpfannyduchez1994]

Le roi Frederik maintenant qu'il est roi Il fait comprendre a la reine Mary qu'il a pas besoin elle Mais la classe il n'en a pas il est stupide tout seul il ne s'en sortira pas la reine Mary est un femme exceptionnelle.est tres belle et intelligente.

24:49 *HM King Harald's speech during the gala dinner at the Castle in honor of the state visit from Denmark on 14 May 2024.* Your Majesties President of the Storting Supreme Court Justice Your Excellencies Dear guests Dear Frederik and Mary. It was a big moment for all of us when you Frederik went out on the balcony on 14 January. It was touching to experience the warmth and joy that connected you and the Danish people together at that moment. This moment I hope you will carry with you as a strength throughout your kingship. But the support of the people alone cannot carry a king. You also need to live in love with those closest to you. So when you were joined by your family on the balcony on this very special day, I hope you felt the strength needed. For the family is perhaps your most important support device. At least that's what I've experienced. Dear Mary, you took on a big task when you went and fell in love with this sporty Dane. You gave up a lot that was safe and familiar. You made Denmark and the Danes your own heartland and heartland. I know that you have also been a great support for our beloved Queen Margrethe. Just today the two of you have been married for 20 years - surely that deserves a round of applause? We think it's very nice that you chose to celebrate your wedding anniversary here with us tonight! During these years you have raised four wonderful children together - Christian, Isabella, Vincent and Josephine. The Crown Prince couple and Princess Ingrid Alexandra joined in celebrating Prince Christian, who has now become Crown Prince, his 18th birthday last year. The Queen and I are grateful that the close ties of family and friendship between our two families are also continued through new generations. It means a lot to all of us, I think. And of course we expect that you too will continue the tradition of spending lots of time in the Norwegian mountains and embracing the somewhat peculiar Norwegian sport of cross-country skiing! Your Majesties, dear guests, 32 years have passed since the Dannebrog last sailed into the Oslofjord on a state visit. Their visit coincides with us celebrating the 400th anniversary of the reconstruction of the city of Oslo, initiated by Danish King Christian Kvart after the great city fire. For 300 years, the Norwegian capital was named after the Danish king. So we have traces of you Danes everywhere! The fact that you came by sea is a reminder that the sea connects our two countries. This affects much of our history both as nations, as people and families. Every day, Danes and Norwegians board the Danskebåten, as we call it - you call it the Oslobåten, right? - in giddy anticipation of the delicious life in Denmark: Amusement parks and tall sandwiches, beautiful architecture - and a particularly nice people. Nowadays, when the Norwegian krone is so inferior to the Danish one, it is possibly at least as nice to be Danish in Norway..! The sea that connects us is of great importance to us all. In the sea lie hope and opportunities for the future. It is our shared responsibility to take care of the ocean that gives us so much. Keeping the sea fresh is one of the great tasks of our time. Dear friends, In the face of external threats, we search together, and become more aware of what unites us. The Nordic community of values ​​has become even stronger after Russia invaded Ukraine. Every day we are reminded of the value of peace and freedom. And about protecting our liberal democratic system of government. The Nordic countries are now united in a common defense alliance. Our history, our close political ties, shared values ​​and common language are resources we must manage well. We will constantly be put to the test - and then it is important to stick to our values ​​- secure in our own position. Your Majesties, dear Frederik and Mary, It is a great pleasure to have you visit. I wish you all the best for your important work. Both to you and to all of us, I want to say: Find your own party - and spend time tending to what is most important in life. We raise a toast to King Frederik and Queen Mary, and to the warm relationship between Denmark and Norway.

[@Caesogaming]

How do they understand each other when they speak different languages?

[@ruralor]

Norwegian, Danish and Swedish is close enough to understand each other, especially if we try to talk clearly and slowly

[@Caesogaming]

@@ruralor And what if, for example, the King of Spain comes

[@ruralor]

@@Caesogaming Then they speak English.

[@Caesogaming]

@@ruralor I have now seen a video in which both kings spoke their language. And they had booklets in which the speech was probably translated. What does that mean?

[@ruralor]

@@Caesogaming You mean the King of Spain? Possibly. They are all fluent in English, so all the normal communication is in English, but it is possible that the formal speeches are helt in their own languages. If you mean the Scandinavian kings. No, I think that is not the case. The Norwegian, Danish and Swedish royal families are all friends, and they always communicate without any form of translation. The languages are very similar. I can understand all 3. In fact, all the Nordic leaders can communicate without translation. The President of Finland can speak Swedish, and the President of Iceland can speak Danish.

[@lillybunting8661]

not like William who always stays close & watches out for Kate

[@selini52]

That’s what I thought too and moreover Frederick seems very aloof.

[@dulcehajjar5826]

Frederick cheated on her 💁‍♀️

[@AnastasiaIsabella]

😂😂😂 are you kidding?

[@Diane391]

King Frederick always walk fast ahead of Queen Mary and hardly wait and watch out for her, which is shameful. Queen Mary surely deserve a better treatment from him. I still respect Prince William how he treated Kate with respect and always wait and watched out for her.

33:04 HM *The King's speech at the gala dinner at the Royal Palace on 14 May 2024* Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, Prime Minister, Speaker of the Storting, Supreme Court Justice, Government, ladies and gentlemen. Queen Mary and I have been very much looking forward to visiting the Norwegian royal family, the Norwegian people and the Norwegian capital. Norway and Sweden are the natural first choices when a new Danish regent couple sets sail. We visit those closest to us first. Thank you for the kind words and the warm welcome on this beautiful spring day just three days before Norway's festive national day and in the year when Oslo turns 400 years old. Anniversaries or not, it's always great to visit Norway. It's like traveling out and finding home. Our kinship does not deny itself, and Danes and Norwegians understand each other. We speak the same language - literally and figuratively. And we are never on foreign soil when we meet - whether it happens on Danish or Norwegian soil. Or mountains for that matter. For Danes, year after year, they make a pilgrimage to Norway to ski, and in week 7 you often hear more Danish than Norwegian on many slopes. The beautiful and wild Norwegian nature attracts Danes as well as Norwegians, and we, like you, are always up for a challenge in the great outdoors. For my own part, I clearly remember the 'Birkebeinerrennet' as a great natural experience and a personal victory - even though I had to see myself beaten in time by Crown Prince Haakon two years in a row and even hear that his skis lacked "lubrication". Despite the distance on the 'Birkebeineren', our two nations are characterized by a close pair race. Familial and friendly ties bind our countries together across generations. In recent times, TV series such as SKAM about life at Nissen Gymnasium have also brought our young people together in front of the screens. A lot has happened since Fleksnes. Norway is almost the Nordic champion in youth series, and today the majority of Danish youth know the meaning of "are you kidding?" and "serr?". Prince Sverre Magnus and Crown Prince Christian finish their high school years this summer, because our families are also followed in the next step. It must be festive. Arriving in Oslo on the Dannebrog was not only festive, but historic. Our two countries are proud maritime nations with port cities as capitals. In Norway and Denmark, the coast is never far, and for many years we had an easier time getting there by sea than by land. The sea was and is a huge resource. Both in Oslo and in Copenhagen, the harbor environment is flourishing, and residents are by, in or on the water in all seasons in Oslo Fjord and the Port of Copenhagen. But as life-giving as water is, it can be just as challenging in a time when the climate is changing and water levels are rising. We need solutions that shield the water without cutting us off from it. Here, our two capitals stand out with new sustainable architecture and green urban spaces. Vannkunsten Bjørvika is an example of an award-winning Danish-Norwegian collaboration, where nature, mountains and archipelago have inspired the design and choice of materials. A historic part of Oslo has been transformed into a modern haven. Mary and I look forward to experiencing Østmarka and the urban development here in Oslo tomorrow and feeling firsthand the peace and well-being that nature imparts to the pulse of the city. Our capitals have a lot in common, and good solutions in one city can usually be used in the other - and even further. New paths to a green transition are necessary for us and for the world around us. In the Nordic region, we have set ourselves the goal of leading the way and becoming the world's most sustainable and integrated region by the year 2030. This is ambitious and will not happen by itself. It will require changes in our production and a greater awareness of ensuring the balance between using and preserving nature's resources. But if anyone has the prerequisites to succeed, it's us. Some of the prerequisites are already being created at MiNaLab in Oslo Science City, which we visited today. Developments in micro- and nanotechnology are moving fast, and the potential is promising. In the laboratories, for example, materials are tailored that can make solar cells far more energy efficient in the future. The less energy loss, the better energy extraction and the more energy per sunbeam. Technological progress is essential to our 2030 goal, and our opportunity to succeed increases when the best of both our countries are brought into play in the laboratories. It was almost as if the sun was already warming a little extra after the cooperation agreement on quantum technology between the University of Oslo and the Niels Bohr Institute was signed earlier today. For quantum technology is a superpower when it comes to development within the green transition, the development of new medicine as well as defense and security. We need each other. We feel this especially in times of unrest and uncertainty in Europe. Norway and Denmark have stood shoulder to shoulder in NATO since 1949. Today, 75 years later, we still stand here, but now with the rest of the Nordic countries by our side. With Finland and Sweden's membership of NATO, we are united in one and the same defense alliance. It strengthens the Nordic countries, and it strengthens Europe. Europe's reality has changed. Russia's attack on Ukraine is unfortunate proof that peace and freedom can never be taken for granted. The war is back on our continent. We would have preferred to be apart of it, but we face it by rearming, sending weapons to the front and moving together with like-minded people. Denmark and Norway are almost like-minded. Historically, for long periods it has not made sense at all to distinguish between being Norwegian and being Danish. Just take Ludvig Holberg, the Nordic Molière, who was born in Bergen and moved to Copenhagen to study. He was the great Danish-Norwegian writer of the 18th century and was read even outside the borders of the Commonwealth. He left his mark on both our countries with comedy and satire and paved the way for the free public debate that characterizes our nations today. In a time of accelerating misinformation, we as Holberg must insist on the democratic conversation and on information in the fight for what we believe in. Your Majesty, dear Harald. "All for Norway" is your language of choice, as it was your father's and your grandfather's. Three words that capture the dedication of three generations. If anyone, you have taken the words on yourself. You have given everything, and when there was no more to give, Crown Prince Haakon and the rest of your family stepped in. Your togetherness has meant everything in a difficult time. For decades you have reigned side by side with my mother, Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II, and I know that you have both treasured your partnership. For me, it is a very special joy to be able to stand here today and at the same time send the warmest greetings from my mother. Your Majesties, dear Uncle Harald and Aunt Sonja. Mary and I always look forward to visiting Norway. We 'enjoy ourselves' with you and the Crown Prince Couple, because we are not just neighbors and colleagues, but family and friends. Our countries share values, culture and history, and the Danish-Norwegian ties are as strong as few. Mary and I will do everything in our power, now and in the future, to cherish all that binds us together. I raise a toast to Norway and the Norwegian people, to the Norwegian Royal House and to Their Majesties King Harald and Queen Sonja with the wish of happiness and prosperity for both our countries.

How ungentlemenly he is. She can't tolerate him from looks like of it William will never do that to Kate.

[@chattyroz2934]

William most likely killed Kate, but never mind, carry on.

El Federico es un vil patán hacia su esposa

[@aivan-kw7rp]

НАСТОЯЩИЙ МУЖИК. ЖЕНА НАДОЕЛА ДО ЧЁРТИКОВ.

[@Amaizingra]

The menu? Peruvian food yes Sir🎉! Entrada : papa a la huancaina…plato de fondo Jalea de mariscos, bebidas : agua, Inka Kola, postre hum🧐😤no, ! Mejor salchipapas, o ceviche, penetre y frito 😅y 😅 muchas sonrisas !

[@Sassafras30]

Did they have an argument before leaving for the banquet? King Frederick was racing for the car leaving Queen Mary far behind. I think Frederick is really immature,

[@nbenefiel]

William isn’t the king.

Mistake .No one is perfect. Please don't bring back the past.

[@bobbo59]

Awful behavior Fredrik … selfish man . Take care of your wife !!! Really how unpolite !!!!!

[@AnastasiaIsabella]

Because it protocol for the sovereign not to wait

[@MuCkWaOo]

Totally agree!!

[@abigale8983]

She is only queen in name only. Her mother in law is still alive. So she will never be the true queen as long as her mother in law is still alive.

[@Toni-vz3yn]

Talk about cold 🥶 to your Queen! And he's the one that cheated!!

[@georgioslimnaios6370]

95% of women's dresses and hairstyles are tragic ..only queen Mary has best style

[@PaulaIoane]

He must hide all his shamefullness behine,shame on him.

[@deladebskaaporet6609]

Fryderyk sprawia wrażenie wyjątkowo nieeleganckiego. Nie okazuje szacunku ani żonie ani nawet innym monarchom. Nonszalancki, z ręką w kieszeni nawet przy innym królu, nie mówiąc o tym, że lekceważenie małżonki jest wręcz permanentne i zakrawa na szczyt chamstwa. Fryderyk X po prostu nie budzi sympatii.

[@danialykhokhar5572]

👍👍🥰🇩🇰🌍🇪🇺🫂

[@carolinescholes3937]

The new King always seems to forget about his Beautiful Queen, he should make sure she is into the car safely, he seems to come across as very arrogant.

[@deborahfarooq3492]

He walk off and left his wife , walking too fast in front of her. Slow down and give respect to your wife.

[@leonardtinkler9035]

Border line bad manners to his Queen

[@patricialarenas1326]

Bad moods

[@robertocastillo5583]

Fredrick is an asshole. He left his lovely wife to walk by herself. Where is the love?

[@yvainerasmus3777]

He didn't wait for her....

[@sitinowak]

Seems like Frederick became arrogant after becoming king. Not polite to his wife Queen Mary.

[@aivan-kw7rp]

Мэри - королева консорт! Фредерик , урождённый принц королевской крови.

[@bogsluger]

Protocol, not arrogance

[@jamesmcdonagh2331]

Well I think on this state Banquet it must be agricultural dealing of these nation on farming ...

[@bogsluger]

What are you takling about? Get your facts, before commenting

[@stellamarisknight5689]

why doesn't he wait and walk with her? that's rude, disrespectful, and ungentlemen-like. Looks like he wanted his own spotlight.

[@Aida-qy1ts]

Long-standing Royal tradition calls for the Consort to walk 3 steps behind the monarch especially on official occasions. Prince Phillip always walked behind the Queen. He even had to ask her permission if he had to go on his own.

[@jeanhawken4482]

Lordy be talk about charging ahead. Needs to clean up his act and polish his manners.

[@carleey9513]

I feel awful. Mary keeps trying to make eye contact with Frederick. What is wrong here?

[@gulrose8284]

King Frederick is selfish,stuck up,Queen Mary is pretty and intelligent,it was so rude of him leaving his wife behind and getting in the car..

[@philipschipper]

Diese Veranstaltung ist Altmodisch und langweilig und warum wird nicht die Nationalhymne von Dänemark gespielt. Und warum kommt nicht die Königshymne von Norwegen.

[@dancostello6465]

Is King Frederik still running with the Spanish whamen?

[@fauziahalias6760]

Owhh.. with that Spanish slut 'casanova'..!!!!?????

[@luciafourzanvazquezdelmerc3831]

This so call king is rude and inconsiderate with his wife what a fake person. Don’t like him at all.

[@AnastasiaIsabella]

It protocol for the sovereign not to wait !!

[@user370Z]

Me neither Lucia!

[@annfinnegan2791]

Have lost a lot of respect for fredetik since his affair .Hes not worth the the respect of his beutiful wife

[@annettecurrie4623]

There was no affair. Why people still believe this unfounded gossip from trashy magazines and a couple of photos is unbelievable.

[@abigale8983]

You can tell the king doesn't care about his wife so much. He never waits for her at all unlike the late Queen Elizabeth 2nd and now King Charles 3rd and Prince William they have all do that with their loving spouse's too. I guess she will keep being treated this way sense she is not the real queen. The real queen is still alive. So she has no choice but deal with the way her husband treats her now. It's not like she can get divorce now where would she go she doesn't have a home to go to now. She gave up Australian citizenship years ago. So really is a queen in name only.

[@xyxy5169]

Quenn Mary, control freak as the Queen Letizia. Very annoying!

[@BucyKalman]

Sorry, but the Norwegian protocol is a mess. The King of Denmark should be seated next to the King of Norway, and King Frederik X and Queen Mary should not be seated next to each other, but rather on opposite sides of the table to the right and the left of King Harald V respectively,.

[@l-fw5lg]

It would have been correct to ask why they are sitting next to each other, instead of automatically concluding negatively. Most of the times there are old rules, but maybe King Fredrik and Queen Mary wanted to sit next to each other. King Harald's speech is also about his family's good support and love. Fredrik and Mary may want to be modern, and wish to change some of the old royal rules. And King Harald has accepted their wish. He is not as old-fashioned as King Carl Gustaf and the retired Queen Margrethe.

[@regalevents5026]

They seem to be rather consistent in their way though with the King, as host, escorting the female guest of honour to the table and the male guest of honour walking in with the hostess. With this seating plan the guests of honour are the ones in the centre, flanked by the host and hostess - which is a nice way of showing who is the guests of honour. If Queen Mary sat to the left of King Harald it would mean that she would be escorted by the Crown Prince - sort of leaving her with a companion during the meal below her rank as Queen.

[@nicolaifr4905]

Not all monarchies does it the same, belive it or not but all countrys have different traditions so there is no corect way to seat some one

[@yolantadianow1584]

😂😂😂what a theater Jesus in 21century. All of them caming out to show off???? Now when US is damaging Europe????? What they hope for ....good free existence??????

[@normamimosa5991]

[@aivan-kw7rp]

Мэри была нормального телосложения для своих 50 лет. Зачем нужно было становиться физически крипто девушкой? Лучше бы она отговорила мужа и парламент не размещать в стране, на острове Борнхольм ракетный комплекс Mk 70, переданный США. Теперь крошечная Дания под прицелом! Хотя, это дохлый номер: Мэри очень активно работает против жителей Земли.

Is just rude, after what happened in Spain, nothing else is to be surprised about him.
