On 7 July 1771, Queen Caroline Matilda of Denmark gave birth to a daughter at Hirschholm Palace. By her side was the baby’s father Johann Friedrich Struensee, the King’s royal physician. He was stroking her hair and holding her hand as a male accoucheur delivered their daughter.

At the coronation ceremony the King put on the red velvet mantle embroidered with gold, and lined with ermine, one of the most exclusive royal symbols in all of Europe. The garments and mantle kept their old-fashioned style, like the ceremony itself, for almost 300 years, right up to the last Danish coronation in 1840. Coronations are the most glorious ceremonies in the hierarchy of power. The clothes that the King wore, in the time before television cameras, helped to make him visible at a distance. The coronation robes are the manifestation of his ascending the throne, with God’s benediction, and it had to be highly visible, with sweeping lengths of silk velvet, glittering je
