A pair of royal plaques

Height 14 cm.

Width 10 cm.

The measurements are with frame.

They are framed in black wooden frames and we cannot therefore see the back.

A pair of silhouette plaques from Royal Copenhagen. The plaques depict HM Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and Prince Henrik.

They were published in connection with the couple's engagement, so the plates actually show Crown Princess Margrethe and Henri Marie Jean André de Laborde de Monpezat.

Note the open crown, rather than the closed one that Margrethe wears on her head. The couple's relationship had been revealed by the Danish press before it had been made official and before the Council of State could meet to approve the engagement. On the opening day of the Folketing in 1966, King Frederik the 9th drove his daughter to a meeting of the Council of State and the engagement was approved and announced.
