Prince Christian of Denmark's 18th Birthday Gala

The Danish Royal Court announced today that as part of Prince Christian's 18th birthday celebrations there will be a gala dinner! It will take place on Sunday, October 15th at 5:00pm local time.

The Queen hosts a gala dinner at Christianborg Palace, to which a selection of the country’s youth organizations as well as young people who have made their mark in the worlds of sport, arts and culture are invited, among others. In addition, The Royal House of Denmark will invite up to 200 young people from the realm to take part in the celebration in cooperation with the country’s municipalities, as each of Denmark’s municipalities as well as Greenland and the Faroe Islands will have the opportunity to select two 18-year-olds to participate in the gala dinner.

After the original announcement, I was unsure if the gala would be white tie like Crown Prince Frederik's 18th birthday in 1986 and Queen Margrethe II's in 1958 or if their would be foreign royals present but we've since found out that both are happening!

I'll keep a running guest list here as more royals confirm attendance.

Happy 47th birthday to Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, Duchess of Västergötland!

Born on 14 July 1977, Victoria Ingrid Alice Désirée is the heir apparent to the Swedish throne, as the eldest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. If she ascends to the throne, she would be Sweden's fourth queen regnant (after Margaret, Christina and Ulrika Eleonora) and the first since 1720. Her inheritance is secured by Sweden's 1979 Act of Succession, the first law in Western Europe to adopt royal absolute primogeniture.

She was baptised at the Royal Palace Church on 27 September 1977. Her godparents included Crown Prince Harald of Norway (later king of Norway), and Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands (later queen of the Netherlands, 1980-2013).

Victoria was made crown princess on 1 January 1980 by the 1979 amendment to the Act of Succession of 1810 (Successionsordningen).

On 24 February 2009, it was confirmed that permission had been granted and that Victoria would marry Daniel Westling in the summer of 2010. The wedding date was set in Stockholm Cathedral for 19 June 2010, the 34th anniversary of her parents' marriage. The couple have two children: Princess Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary, Duchess of Östergötland (12) and Prince Oscar Carl Olof, Duke of Skane (8)

Alexander, Crown Prince of Yugoslavia, is the head of the House of Karađorđević, the former royal house of the defunct Kingdom of Yugoslavia and its predecessor the Kingdom of Serbia. Alexander is the only child of King Peter II and his wife, Princess Alexandra of Greece and Denmark. He held the position of crown prince in the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia for the first four-and-a-half months of his life, until the declaration of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia later in November 1945, when the monarchy was abolished. In public he claims the crowned royal title of "Alexander II Karađorđević" as a pretender to the throne.

The twice married with three sons, Alexander is known for his support of monarchism and his humanitarian work. He's another royal I spotted at His Majesty Charles III's coronation that I now want to do.
