Queen Mary recently showcased her photography skills by capturing a heartwarming family moment featuring King Frederik and their youngest children. The picture was taken at the Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen, just before Denmark’s debut match in the Euro 2024 tournament. In the photo, King Frederik, aged 56, and his 13-year-old twins, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, were dressed in the red and white kit of Denmark’s national football team.
Denmark played their first Group C match against Slovenia and ended in a 1-1 draw. Christian Eriksen, the Danish midfielder, scored the opening goal of the tournament. It is noteworthy that Eriksen had suffered a heart attack during a match in Euro 2021 and received overwhelming support from players, fans, as well as King Frederik and Queen Mary, who were present at the stadium.
Christian Eriksen’s Recovery
After undergoing treatment and being fitted with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD), Christian Eriksen made a remarkable comeback to football. He initially joined Brentford and later moved to Manchester United. His return to the sport was an inspiring moment for many, proving that determination and resilience can overcome adversity.
The Danish royal family recently celebrated King Frederik’s 56th birthday at the Amalienborg Palace. The King, Queen Mary, and their children, Crown Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent, and Princess Josephine, were joined by Queen Margrethe, who had abdicated the throne in January after 52 years of reign. The family appeared on the palace balcony, showing solidarity and unity.
Future Matches and Royalty
Denmark is set to face England at the Frankfurt Arena in Germany, with the Prince of Wales confirmed to attend the match. The royal family’s continued support for the national team exemplifies their dedication to sports and their country. King Frederik’s reign and the royal family’s presence depict a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity in Danish society.
