Prince Joachim and Princess Marie. Marie has chosen a simple off the shoulder red dress. She looks effortlessly pretty. Marie is wearing a brand new tiara! It was created especially for this occasion by both Danish artists and French Jewelers. This is a symbol of Princess Marie's connection to both countries as she is French, but now a Danish princess. The new tiara is absoloutely beautiful, I love the sapphires. It's so much nicer than the other tiaras owned by Princess Marie. It's nice that she has something really beautiful to wear. I hope we see it more often.

Siblings Saturday Series 1 (Margrethe, Benedikte & Anne-Marie)
Sibling Saturday
Margrethe, Benedikte & Anne-Marie
I don't know how many of you have siblings. I have two sisters (I'm the middle). We fight a lot but we also have something special going on. We've shared our lives together, we complain about our parents together and in the case of my younger sister we shared a room for many, many years. There are somethings no one gets except a sibling. The other day my sister celebrated her 24th birthday and we were out with her friends to dinner. One of them started to say something (I don't even remember what it was), and in sync my sister and I both started laughing because we remembered something from a while back and we just knew what the other was thinking of.
I can imagine that this is no different amongst the royal families of the world. Even more so because there's only one or two other people who know what it was like to grow up as the child of this queen or that king. It's always nice to see how the royal siblings are not just siblings, but friends as well. Some of course are closer than others.
My very first post, and the first in my Siblings Saturday series is about three sisters (just like me). King Frederik IX of Denmark's daughters; the princesses Margrethe, Benedikte & Anne-Marie. Whenever they get together at a royal wedding they just seem so happy to be with each other. They of course a succession crisis as until 1953 only males could inherit the Danish throne. This was changed and Princess Margrethe became Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. Her sister Benedikte married a prince, Richard of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and is currently 11th in line to the Danish throne behind her sister's descendants. The youngest sibling Anne-Marie joined Margrethe as a queen when she married King Constantine II of Greece in 1964. Anne-Marie and Constantine went into exile in 1967 and the Greek monarchy was disolved in 1973.
Here are some pictures of the three sisters through out their lives
I Hope you've enjoyed Sibling Saturday xoxo :)
