Add article description

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.[1] The title corresponds to the British title Lord Chamberlain of the Household.

Ulrik Frederik Gyldenløve, Count of Laurvig, the illegitimate son of King Frederick III of Denmark, was Lord Chamberlain of Denmark.

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".[2] While the title still exist today by Royal Regulation, it is not in current use, as the Queen Margrethe preferred to appoint Chamberlains, of which there were 115 in Denmark as of 2015.[3] The Historic role of the Lord Chamberlain is now allocated to the Court Marshal of Denmark (Danish: Hofmarskal).
