gudinde Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 http://kongehuset.dk/menu/nyheder/nytaarskurenes-historie History of New Year's Court (excerpts from kongehuset's press release). For centuries the Royal Family and the Danes wished each other a happy New Year and thus happiness and prosperity for the whole kingdom. The origins of today's New Year's receptions and the New Year's Banquet is lost, but already in the middle of the 1600s the events around the turn of the year were referred to as an old custom, and the basic elements are still the same. The tradition for New Year levees that extend over several days developed after World War 1, as levee could no longer be conducted in a single day on January 1. This was due to the development of society; Up through the 1900s, the number of state institutions, the creation of several ministries, numerous new countries emerged and thus several diplomatic missions. From Frederick 3's time - and perhaps long before - the royal New Year's Eve banquet was public: Everybody went up at the castle, people stood lining the walls and then the royal family and the court ate. The practice ended when Christian 6. and Queen Sophie Magdalene had Copenhagen Castle demolished and moved to Christiansborg palace to which the public had access. At midnight fifty trumpeters heralded the new year in the palace courtyard. As soon as the New Year was 'blown', the royal family members and courtiers wished each other happy New Year and exchanged New Year gifts. Royal courtiers were also granted appointments - even today on 1st January the queen appoints chamberlains and masters of the hunt. At the old Copenhagen Castle anyone had been able to congratulate the sovereign and bring gifts and New Year verse. At Christiansborg palace this was organized and limited to specific individuals and groups. Who could come in and at what time was governed by the Regulation on the rank - and it is to this day, although both the hierarchy and number of people in each class have been far more extensive through time. After the Christiansborg fire in 1794, the royal family were no longer under the same roof, but had to visit each other at the Amalienborg palaces and Frederiksstaden to exchange greetings on the New Year's morning. Guests were then summoned to court by runner - if you lived in Copenhagen - or by letter. Since 1920 to custom has been to invite the confederations for New Year's Levees.

mls Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I don't think we've ever had photos from the first court at Amalienborg ? I think there are many who don't realise, that there are two separate courts today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gudinde Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thanks mls. You are right that it is usual to have no photos from Amalienborg. My guess is that there is not much space for press access in the smaller rooms there. Mary looks lovely in the photos taken in the Guard's Hall at Christiansborg. I wonder if we can find a close-up showing what is suspended from her pearls? QM in her uniform, as expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smt Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Mary looked nice today, but not what I expected. Not too certain what to make of that shawl. I expected a gown/coast combo. This looks to be a very nice gown, but the shawl looks like an afterthought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayvee Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Do you think when a Princess Mary becomes Queen, she will follow QMII's tradition of wearing the same gown like a uniform for several years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mls Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Do you think when a Princess Mary becomes Queen, she will follow QMII's tradition of wearing the same gown like a uniform for several years? I really, really hope she doesn't. I'm all for recycling but this much, no way. Fashion is not that important to me but even I get bored of seeing the same gown, two days in a row, year after year after year. Maybe Mary could recyecle 3-4 gowns if she feels she should wear a "uniform". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
