Wonderful photos! I've always liked Benedikte. She comes across as reserved and formal, but I suspect she'd be a huge amount of fun if you got to know her well.

It took me a minute or two to recognize some of the people in the group photo. Carl Gustav, Harald, Claus, and Beatrix are all in a row near the center of the group photo, with Henrik, Margrethe, Constantine (and Alexia!), and Anne Marie below them. In the front row, Sybilla of Sweden is sitting next to her father-in-law Gustav Adolf, and on his other side are daughter Ingrid and her husband Frederick. The man at the left end of the first row, wearing glasses, looks familiar, but I can't place him. Olav and the QM look so young here!

The gentleman on Sybilla's right is Prince Knud.
