On January 14, 2022, Queen Margrethe celebrated her 50th year on the Danish throne with a private dinner at Christian VII's Palace at Amalienborg in Copenhagen, which was attended by her sister, children, daughters-in law and grandchildren.
The Queen, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent, Princess Josephine, Prince Joachim, Princess Marie, Prince Henrik, Princess Athena, Prince Nikolai, Prince Felix and Princess Benedikte were present at the dinner.
As something very special, the table was covered with the Flora Danica dinnerware, which is the most expensive Danish tableware. The last officially known occasion for its usage was the birthday party for Queen Ingrid in 1990. The collection – now consisting of approx. 1530 pieces – is one of the most well preserved and mainly used for exhibition.
