Actually, there should have been a relaxed atmosphere all over Denmark on January 14th.

On this important day, the entire nation wanted to celebrate the 50th anniversary of her government with her likeable regent.

Unfortunately, Corona thwarted the plans.

An extensive event is now to be made up for in late summer.

Queen Margrethe had to be content with a smaller party for the time being, but all her loved ones were by her side and celebrated her properly.
