Graasten Palace Photo Session
The annual photo session at Graasten Palace took place yesterday, with various family members turning up for the event. Those that took part included Queen Margrethe II, Crown Prince Frederik, Crown Princess Mary, Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, Princess Benedikte, Prince Gustav of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and girlfriend Carina Axelsson, Princess Alexandra of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and her two children, Count Richard and Countess Ingrid von Pfeil and Klein-Ellguth.

New Picture of Danish Royal Children
On the occassion of Prince Felix's 5th birthday yesterday, Kongehuset.dk released a "new" picture of the birthday boy with his older brother, Prince Nikolai, and his two cousins, Prince Christian and Princess Isabella. I say "new" because the picture was taken the same day as the pictures released for Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik's 40th wedding anniversary pictures were taken, but not released until now.
