A place for info on Danish Queens.

Tatia:
The only one I can think of is Queen Margrethe, the current Queen of Denmark (reigning since 1972).

Margrethe Alexandrine Torhildur Ingrid was born on the 16th of April, 1940 at Amalienborg, Copenhagen, Denmark (christened on the 14th of May of that year).
She married Henri Marie Jean André de Laborde de Monpezat (=Prince Henrik) on 10 June 1967.

They have two sons:
Frederik André Henrik Christian (26 May 1968) and
Joachim Holger Waldemar Christian (7 June 1969).

And two grandsons:
Nikolai William Alexander Frederik (28 August 1999) and Felix Henrik Valdemar Christian (22 July 2002).

A third grandchild is expected in October.

Rosamund:
Dear Prince Lieven

I hope you don't mind some corrections to this list that you have put so much effort into.

Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, the first wife of Christian VIII, was divorced from him before he succeeded to the throne.

Caroline Amalie of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg, second wife of Christian VIII, became Queen Consort on his accession to the throne.

Wilhelmine of Denmark was the first wife of Frederick V11.  As they divorced in 1837, she was never a Queen Consort.

Caroline of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the second wife of Frederik V11, was divorced from him before he became King in 1848.

Please don't be offended by this.

Rosamund
