Day 2.

Official state visit to Sweden

07 May 2024

A day in Stockholm

From the morning, King Frederik accompanied King Carl Gustaf when visiting Stockholm's amphibious regiment. Among others, they were given a guided tour on HMS Helsingborg and had a chat with some of the Swedish regiments divers.

Around noon, Queen Mary and Queen Sonja visited the museum 'Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde'. Prince Eugen of Sweden was an artist and great art collector. After his death, his home was transformed to a museum.

The couple had lunch at Stockholm's Stadshus, followed by a visit at Forskaren (a new life science center in Sweden) and Nodriska Muséet. Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia also attended the lunch at Stadshus.

My heart sings when Mary is wearing something red! The color looks amazing on her with her fair skin and dark brown hair. Birgit Hallstein tailored her dazzling bright red dress. The details are exquisite. Her light brown wool-blend cape from Oscar de la Renta was a perfect match.

Mary accessorized her beautiful outfit with plenty of jewellery: earrings, a brooch and a bracelet from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. Another bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Anya Hindmarch is the designer of her brand new soft brown leather handbag. I am breathless. The shape. The color. Everything is outstanding about this new little bag. The same goes with the red suede Gianvito Rossi pumps.

Return reception at Dannebrog

After two great days in Sweden, King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted a return event at the royal ship Danneborg for King Carl Gustaf and Queen Sonja.

Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia also attended the reception, along with Princess Christina.

The Swedish King and Queen then hosted a final gathering at Kungliga Slottet.

Mary was beautifully dressed in a reused printed Saloni dress and later a fine white JOSEPH coat. She wore the dress last year at the presentation of the annual Christmas Stamp in November. Stunning details!

She embraced the style with shimmery golden diamond earrings from Rebekka Notkin. Worn at a number of different occasions. On a business promotion visit in Norway, a state visit in South Korea and when attending the enthronement of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako in 2019. We also glimpse an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen bracelet.

The gorgeous bordeaux suede pumps are Gianvito Rossi and the matching clutch is an old one from Hugo Boss.

What an outfit! Mary looked absolutely stunning when the couple arrived in Stockholm for their two days official state visit.

Official gala dinner

King Carl Gustav and Queen Sonja hosted a prestiges gala dinner at Kungliga Slottet in Stockholm on occasion of the Danish King and Queen visiting Sweden.

Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel also attended the gala dinner, such as Prince Carl Philip and his wife Princess Sofia.

Both King Carl Gustav and King Frederik gave a speech before the dinner.

Queen of the night! Mary was indeed Queen of the night. She looked magical in her altered Jesper Høvring dress. Maybe you remember the golden skirt from 2017? At the gala dinner in Sweden, Mary wore the stunning skirt with another floral lace top. A creation by Jesper Høvring from Fall 2018.

Mary honored Queen Ingrid by wearing her famous and beloved Ruby Parure. The rubies are a wonderful match with the dress. Do you like the colorcombo? Even her box clutch matched in color. Dulong Fine Jewelry created the golden ruby ring in the same style as the parure.

We get a glimpse of her brand new beige satin pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

Change of guards at Fredensborg

03 May 2024

From now on, there will be a big change of guards parade every friday at Fredensborg due to the fact that the King (and Queen) is resident at Kancellihuset.

The royal couple officially took resident at Fredensborg yesterday on May 2nd, which makes this change of guards the very first. King Frederik was not able to attend the parade, so Queen Mary showed up instead.

The Queen is at top of her game these days when it comes to outfits. Just look at her. Simply wonderful. Love how she matched a simple light blue button-down shirt with a brand new a-line midi skirt. Plain and simple outfit, yet absolutely beautiful. She accessorized the outfit with brown suede Gianvito Rossi pumps and a yellow gold diamond ring from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

Official boarding Dannebrog

02 May 2024

Boarding Dannebrog in Copenhagen

The King and Queen boarded the royal yacht Dannebrog at Nordre Toldbod today to official begin their summer tour around in Denmark. A tradition that goes back many years. The couple "inherited" the tradition from Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik.

They take official residence in Kancellihuset at Fredensborg. Therefor, Dannebrog docked in Helsingør, where the royal couple were welcomed in the greatest way possible. King Frederik and Queen Mary will then be accompanying Queen Margrethe, whom has also taken residence at Fredensborg Castle.

This evening, the couple will be officially welcomed by citizens in Helsingør. This little 'welcoming ceremony' has been a tradition every single year to greet Queen Margrethe and late husband Prince Henrik when moving in at Fredensborg during summer time.

Queen Mary looked nothing less than absolutely stunning when boarding Dannebrog! The smashing Iris & Ink dress styled with a brand new belt, a custom-made ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry and beautiful navy blue leather pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Love her new headpiece created by Maggie Mowbray Millinery. Amazing details.

It was a great day, when Queen Mary arrived to the University of Copenhagen to participate the presentation of 'Crown Princess Mary Scholarships' 2024. The scholarships are given to Australian students studying in Denmark as a "helping hand".

She was warmly welcomed with flower, handshakes and smiles. Rector Henrik C. Wegener was the first one to welcomed her.
