Opulence and Ostentation, Danes Question the High Costs of the Royal Family in Times of Economic Insecurity
The activities of Frederik and Mary of Denmark have been surrounded by criticism and controversy. With each special occasion, the royal family would be obliged to balance between the tradition and opulence that their position demands. However, the costs since they assumed the crown have been full of controversy, and their activities have become a topic of debate.
The celebrations of the Danish royal family to commemorate important milestones and the associated expenses are a recurring topic of discussion. While events full of elegance are planned, decisions about the budget often end up being the focus of attention. In this case, a birthday of great relevance for Mary and Frederik has been overshadowed by the high cost of the organized festivities.
Frederik and Mary of Denmark: Planning a Special Celebration
On April 11, Aarhus City Hall will be the setting for the first big party for Isabella of Denmark, who celebrates her coming of age. The event's budget is impressive: 63,000 Danish kroner (around 39,000 euros), a sum intended to cover catering, flowers, and other expenses. The guests will mainly be young people from local organizations and educational centers, but city personalities will also be present.
The event in Aarhus will not only celebrate the princess's birthday but will also pay tribute to young Danish talents. There will be a sustainable fashion show, musical performances, and dance presentations; the party will be a tribute to creativity. However, this high cost generates criticism, as in a context of economic uncertainty, many consider that Frederik and Mary are overstepping the limits.
A Gala at the Royal Theater: An Even More Luxurious Event
On April 15, the royal family will attend a special performance at the Danish Royal Theater for Isabella's anniversary. The gala will feature more than 1,000 young people aged 17 to 24, who will be able to attend thanks to a raffle. The occasion will feature a red carpet full of celebrities, which further increases the exclusivity of the event.
The event will be a spectacle of art and culture, with a mix of classical and modern performances. In addition to the presentations, the Danish royal family will seek to raise funds for future initiatives, giving the gala a charitable purpose. However, the pomp of the celebration remains a topic of controversy, with some questioning the need for so much top-level in times of crisis.
A Contrast with Other Royal Celebrations
Isabella of Denmark's festivities have highlighted the differences with the coming-of-age celebration of Princess Leonor of Spain. When the daughter of Felipe VI swore the Constitution in a solemn act, there were no luxuries or ostentation. In the evening, a private party was held at El Pardo Palace, with no details disclosed by the Royal House.
The private celebration at El Pardo was intimate, with the presence of Leonor's family. This event contrasted with other more public royal festivities. Now, Infanta Sofía's birthday is awaited, but it has not been confirmed if there will be any special event for her coming of age.
Despite the criticism, the Danish royal family continues with their plans, ensuring that these events are an opportunity to highlight Danish talent. However, the debate about the opulence of the celebrations remains present, leaving a question in the air: is this top-level really necessary?
