The Royal couple first hosted the Traditional New Year Gala on January 01st and then yesterday hosted a reception for the civil officials and diplomatic corps. The King and Queen traveled from the Amalienborg Palace to Christianborg Palace in the Gold Coach, escorted by the Guard Hussar Regiment’s Mounted Squadron. The golden carriage is the finest carriage of the Royal Family and was built for Christian VIII by the carriage maker Henry Fife in 1840. The carriage is coated with 24-carat gold leaf, has four gold-plated crowns on the roof and a painted coat of arms on the doors.
