There was so much good about this visit it cried out for its own post. Queen Margrethe, Prince Frederik and Princess Mary paid a visit to the Natural History Museum. To mark Daisy’s 80th birthday, the museum is hosting an exhibition called “The Queen’s Faces”.
Daisy continued her winning streak of appearances. The floral dress is lovely, and it complements the bouquet of late spring flowers. Mary is in a beige Beulah London.
A new portrait of Daisy was unveiled. The artist is Niels Strøbek, and he has painted the Queen four times previously. This is Daisy in casual mode, under the stars, with the Yeti pelt slung across her shoulders. There is a surprising lack of royal artifacts. The frame, however, does contain the royal crown.
The artist’s previous renderings reflect some interesting sides of Daisy’s character. I am particularly intrigued by 1977’s portrait. The artist also painted Henrik several times. This is my favorite.
