Kirsten Princess Benedikte was seated in the Royal box. there were 12 places and only 11 people (HM, the prince-consort, crownprince and crownprincess, prince Joachim, princes Nikolai and Felix, princess Benedikte, prince Richard, Queen Anne-Marie and king Constantine) so the 12th seat could have been for HH princess Elisabeth. As it is only logical that her sisters would be seated next to their husbands putting the queen's cousin next to prince Nikolai in the second row would have been an option.
