Lord Chamberlain of Denmark

The Lord Chamberlain of Denmark (Danish: Overkammerherre) is the highest office of the Royal Household of Denmark, and the most distinguished of the Chamberlains of the Royal Household. The title corresponds to the British title Lord Chamberlain of the Household.

The title gives precedence in the 1st Class No. 8 in the Danish order precedence, and the bearer is thus entitled to the style "His/Her Excellency". The title still exists by Royal Regulation, but it is not in current use: Queen Margrethe preferred to appoint Chamberlains, of which there were 115 in Denmark as of 2015. The Historic role of the Lord Chamberlain is now allocated to the Court Marshal of Denmark (Danish: Hofmarskal).
