This year, Marselisborg Palace in Aarhus will once again be the setting of Her Majesty The Queen and the royal family’s Christmas. The Queen begins a stay at the palace on 20 December and will celebrate Christmas Eve together with the Crown Prince Family.

TRH Prince Joachim and Princess Marie and their two children will celebrate Christmas in France together with Princess Marie’s family. Prince Joachim’s older sons, TH Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix, will spend Christmas with their mother, HE Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg.
