1864 Danish royal family

The Glucksbergs posed for another family photo, shown here with spouses and others, in 1864. Unfortunately, I don't know who a large number of the sitters are. One of the men, furthest left(?) may be Grand Duke Nicholas who was to marry Dagmar but died a year later. Dagmar married Grand Duke Alexander instead; later he became Tsar Alexander III. Alexandra and Albert Edward are to the right.

If this photo does date to 1864, it shows the dome crinoline was giving way to the conical crinoline and the vee waistline is rising to form a circular natural waistline.
