Maybe not her most well-put-together outfit but I really love the idea of matching light grey and brown. That I like. Don't think I have ever really tought about that being such a wonderful color-combo. Her linen set is from the talented Danish designer Mark Kenly Domino Tan. Mary first wore the set when visiting France in April. It created headlines back then.

Mary accessorized the fine linen set with a reused Zimmerman belt and brown midi heels from Gianvito Rossi. I truly wish she had worn some other pieces of jewellery. Something a bit more bold. Nevertheless both the golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and the Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen rings are remarkable craftsmanship.

What did you have in mind for this event?

Denmark is taking over the EU presidency

June 3rd, 2025

Denmark takes over the EU presidency on July 1st of 2025. On that occasion the incoming presidency countries are visited by the European Parliament's Conference of Presidents before taking over the EU presidency. This is why King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted a reception at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg on June 3rd.

Mary has worn this wonderful bright pink No 21 dress on six different occasions since 2019. Maybe you also remember her wearing it on her husband's 56th birthday last year? I am always very excited when she is wearing something bright and colorful. You know that is you have been following me for many years.

Receiving the Conference of Presidents of the European Parliament, Mary had chosen just a few pieces of accessories. Like her beloved beige pointed python pumps from Gianvito Rossi and golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings. Did you know that these earrings comes with interchangeable pendants?

Her stunning new golden necklaces is from the talented Louise Grønlykke. In fact it is studded with shiny diamonds. What is not to like!

Knudshoved Odde

May 27, 2025

Queen Mary visited Knudshoved Odde near Vordingborg as patron of WWF World Wide Fund for Nature who are currently working on a project to ensure better living conditions for endangered animal species.

Mikkel Aarø-Hansen, General Secretary of WWF World Wide Fund for Nature accompanied Mayor of Vordingborg Mikael Smed, Landowner of Rosenfeldt Gods Nicolai Oxholm Tillisch and director of Ravn-Nature Peer Ravn when welcoming the Queen when she arrived at Knudshoved Odde.

The Queen was scheduled to take part in a butterfly release, but cool weather meant that it was postponed. Instead, some of the butterflies were displayed and later to be released when the weather is warmer.

During the visit, the Queen also participated in releasing bell frogs and spread a seed mixture on the forest meadow.

This is what I love so much about our Queen: she is not afraid of jumping into a lake, climb a tree or release a frog. For her visit at Knudshoved Odde Mary had chosen a pair of reused Laksen trousers, an old down-vest from Moncler and a brand new Scandinavian Edition jacket.

The cool canvas belt with the brass buckle is from the Swedish Fjällräven. It features the iconic Fjällräven logo: the fox. Mary also wore new outdoor shoes from Salomon.

We also get a glimpse of a golden ring studded with diamonds from Dulong Fine Jewelry. I've been interested in knowing more about her rather massive silver ring. She has worn it on a few occasion's prior to her visit at Knudshoved Odde. It is now told to be a 'smart ring' that track you health. Your level of stress, sleep and heartbeat.
