Queen Margrethe’s Cayx Jewels

Today, the Danish royal family will hold a funeral for Prince Henrik, husband of Queen Margrethe II and father of Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim. To remember Henrik, I thought we’d highlight the jewels that Margrethe wore during their yearly holiday at their home in the south of France, the Chateau de Cayx. The photos capture Daisy and Henri, the couple behind the trappings of royalty, and the jewelry is equally personal.
