New Official Photo of King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark

He is so gorgeous. And she is, at least in my opinion, the most beautiful Royal in Europe.

She's beautiful.

He is good looking, but he should shave the beard. It does nothing for him. Same with King Felipe of Spain. Do they think the beards make them look more king-like?

Her gown is very "meh." They could have done so much more with her coloring. It almost looks like the photographer to greater care to airbrush him. Odd

Fred is weak, Mary holds him up and she will have to do so more in this next stage of their lives. His younger brother would be better as King.

Hey Camilla, Catherine, and Meghan:

THAT is what a queen should look like.

R5 ???

Is she Asian?

Are you blind, R8, or just stupid?

Mary is Australian. From Tasmania.

She is not a beauty, but is very well put together.

Agreed R11. She's very well put together and very approachable looking. She's also the right weight without being too thin or too fat.

Show me a beautiful woman and I'll show you the Dane who's sick of fucking her

Fred looks like micro meat.

He looks like he's right out of Central Casting. And that pose looks like a movie poster for a Sandra Bullock movie.

This pic is at least 5 years old OP. And how would there be an official portrait of new King and Queen released PRIOR to the actual accession?

R16. The pic is new. The photo was taken just recently since they will be king and queen in two day.

He's lucky he has her.

Here's a post from the Court Jeweller blog from 2022 on the occasion of CP Mary's 50th birthday. scroll down to see the same official portrait of Fred and Mary as the one posted at OP.

He's very boyish looking and reminds me of a Dave Foley character from "Kids in the Hall."

Dave Foley now looks like an old man--he was in "Fargo" this season and his hair has gone completely white. it made me realize how old I am.

That's been happening to me a lot these days, too, R21.

Luckily, as befits a frequent Datalounge contributor, I'm usually mistaken for 30 years younger!

Love the dress and parure.

Dave Foley looks like an old woman now.

I don't like this portrait. She should be facing forward. When this guy's mother was queen, the mom's husband wasn't standing like that in portraits (body turned completely toward the queen).

He's cute, she's lovely.

I agree both he and Felipe need to ditch the beards, which do nothing for them.
