The Marshal of the Court of Denmark (Danish : Hofmarskal ; officially translated as lord chamberlain [1] ) is Chief Administrative Officer of the Royal Household of Denmark. [2] The court marshal is the chief executive of finance, staff, official duties, etc. and heads the court marshal's office. [3] This role traditionally fell to the Lord Marshal of the Court (Danish : Overhofmarskal), but this title is no longer used, and all the responsibilities associated with the title have been allocated to the Marshal of the Court.
