The European monarchies are well represented at the Olympic Games in Paris. Queen Mary opened the Danish pavilion at the Maison du Danemark on the Champs-Elysées together with King Frederik. Princess Charlene and Prince Albert attended the IOC & Elysee Dinner at the Louvre. Who will reveal who else is there!

It's not just sportspeople, especially athletes, and politicians who are heading to the Parisian capital these days for the opening of the Olympic Games. The royal families also have numerous envoys on site.

Queen Mary and King Frederik of Denmark cut the ribbon at the opening of the Danish pavilion in Paris on Thursday in an extremely cheerful and summery mood. The Queen wore an extremely elegant and eye-catching red trouser suit with wide legs that matched the color of the ribbon.
