Guard of honor at Amalienborg Royal Palace

Changing of the Guard at the Palace Square
Denmark, Copenhagen
The changing of the guard of honor takes place on the palace square near the Royal Palace of Amalienborg. Every day, when Queen Margrethe II of Denmark is in the palace, a procession of royal guards accompanied by an orchestra begins from Rosenborg Castle through the streets of Copenhagen. The ceremony ends with the changing of the guard at Amalienborg Palace at exactly noon. When other members of the royal family live in the palace, the procession takes place without a flag, and if the residence is completely empty, the guards are on guard, and the ceremony takes place as usual.

The changing of the guard at Amalienborg Palace takes place daily at 12.00. A queen lives in Amalienborg; when Her Majesty is at home, a flag flies over the palace. The palace is located in the city center, about 10 minutes walk from Kongens Nytrow. The royal guards wear big funny bear hats. According to tradition, hats should be natural. Unfortunately, in the pursuit of fashion, the black bears that once lived in Europe were completely exterminated, and the Danes specifically buy black bear fur from Canadians in order to preserve the tradition.
