Nov. 21 (UPI) -- The Danish royals -- including Queen Margrethe II, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary -- commissioned their first official family portrait in nearly 125 years. But they look more like the Addams family than a collection of well-respected and popular monarchs.
Queen Margrethe II hired self-taught painter Thomas Kluge four years ago, and he came up with a work of art that casts the entire family in a dark and macabre light. Prince Christian, Denmark's 7-year-old second in line to the throne, takes center place in the painting, with the menacing visage of murderous Danish doll.
