Each year, the Denmark Monarch marks their birthday with a balcony appearance with members of the Royal Family. For milestone birthdays there are usually additional events held.

Usual Time:

  • 11:50 AM
    • Changing of the Guard Ceremony
  • Noon
    • Royal Family makes Balcony Appearance
The Balcony Appearance usually takes place at the Monarch's residence at Amalienborg Palace Complex. However, it can take place elsewhere, as often happened during Queen Margrethe's reign as her Birthday fell during her Easter stay at Marselisborg Castle.

Queen Margrethe II of Denmark

Queen Margrethe's birthday was on April 16th. Queen Margrethe usually celebrated Easter at Marselisborg Castle, and therefore would hold her Birthday Celebrations there when they fell near Easter. 

In addition to the Monarch's Birthday, balcony appearances were held to mark important milestone Birthdays of other members of the Royals (I.e. Heir, heir to heir).
