The Danish royal family held their annual portrait session at Grasten Castle on Friday. Although the group was slimmed down a bit — Joachim and Marie’s family did not attend — we still got to see a bit of sparkle on display.

Queen Margrethe was firmly in the spotlight with her bright pink ensemble.

She accessorized with a brooch in the shape of an anchor, set with diamonds and sapphires. The brooch has been in her jewelry box for decades.

Crown Princess Mary went with a bohemian summertime look, but she still added a few glittering accessories.

On her left hand, she wore her engagement and wedding rings; on her wrist, she wore a common royal accessory: a gold love bracelet from Cartier.

Behind Mary and Fred, you can see two members of the extended family: Alexandra of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and her husband, Jefferson von Pfeil und Klein-Ellguth.

Of course, the real stars of any royal photo session are the kids. Here’s Prince Christian, Prince Vincent, and Ingrid von Pfeil und Klein-Ellguth.

Josephine and Vincent also took some time out to help give the dogs some exercise. Very thoughtful! 🙂
