Queen Mary of Denmark attended the confirmation of her twin children, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, at Fredensborg Palace Church on Saturday, despite mourning the recent loss of her father.
The 15-year-old royals received the sacrament in a ceremony conducted by Royal Confessor Bishop Henrik Wigh-Poulsen, with their mother appearing composed and smiling as she accompanied them into the church.
The occasion carried a poignant undertone, arriving less than a week after Professor John Dalgleish Donaldson passed away at the age of 84.
The Danish Queen’s presence demonstrated her determination to celebrate her children’s milestone despite her personal grief.
