Queen nominated for Robert prize

This year’s presentation of the Robert Prize may have a royal touch, as Queen Margrethe is among the nominees, according to the list of nominations. The Danish Film Academy unveiled its list on Tuesday. The Queen is nominated in the categories Set Designer of the Year and Costume Designer of the Year for her contribution to the Netflix film “Ehrengard – The Art of Seduction”. Queen Margrethe has cut and pasted about 70 découpages for the film’s set design. She has also designed the costumes for, among others, the actor Sidse Babett Knudsen. “Ehrengard”, directed by Bille August, is based on the Karen Blixen novel of the same name. /ritzau/
