First Look: New Year Tiaras in Denmark

Hi-res pictures of tonight’s New Year’s Levee in Copenhagen have been slow to arrive, but I wanted you to be able to see which sparkly goodness appeared at Amalienborg Palace this evening, so I’ve got a first look here for you, courtesy of a few GIFs and screenshots. (Please note that these GIFs feature HEAVY flash photography. How do the royals manage to keep their eyes open for photos???)

Queen Margrethe wore the grand parure of emerald and diamond jewels, part of the nation’s crown jewel collection
