Summer in Gråsten

Welcoming at Gråsten town square

King Frederik, Queen Mary and the twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine are staying at Gråsten Castle in Gråsten during the summer.

On July 95th, the royal couple arrived in Gråsten and walked from the town square to the castle. They are greeted with flowers, smiles, flags and handshakes by the citizens of Gråsten.

The King and Queen were also officially welcomed by Sønderborg municipality's city council at the old town hall.

I really love Mary's new ME+EM dress! The soft green print. The length and small cap-sleeves. Its details are simply beautiful. Nothing less than the perfect summer dress. I am not quite sure I like the Canopy Bay by Deborah Hutton hat with the dress. Mary has so many stunning hats that would fit the look way better. What do you think?

She styled the outfit with reused peep-toe wedges from Tod's. Do you recall that Mary also wore them staying at Gråsten in 2015? Twice actually. At Gråsten Ring Riding Association parade and at the weekly changing of the guards a few days later.

The fine golden necklaces are from Halberstadt and Dulong Fine Jewelry. The last designer also created her diamond bracelet and wonderful ring.

Changing of the guards

Tradition tells that the Royal Lifeguard performe changing of the guards every Friday, when the ruling King (or Queen) are present at Gråsten Castle. This is King Frederik and Queen Mary's first changing of the guards at Gråsten as ruling couple.



I recall twice in her time as Crown Princess when she has worn a long cardigan and that wasn't even cardigans. In 2004, when attending the wedding of Rikke Juel and Michael Brandt, and at Princess Benedikte's 60th birthday. At the parade at Gråsten, Mary wore a brand new long Mirror in the Sky tie-dye cardigan. Haven't really embraced the tie-dye trend. Have you? She matched it with a plain while blouse and skirt.

She has become fond of wearing her golden diamond bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry and initial necklaces also from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Her second necklace is Halberstadt.

Her new sandals are identify as Arteana. Wish I could wearing such sandals, but my feet won't work with them properly. The sunglasses are from Thierry Lasry.

Changing of the guards

The royal family are staying at Gråsten Castle in Gråsten during the summer. Like many other, the family enjoy a well-deserved vacation from everyday duties. On July 19th, the family watched the weekly changing of the guards.

Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine spend time at Gråsten during their summer break from school. Queen Margrethe also arrived to Gråsten, which means that King Frederik and Queen Mary are now accompanied by Prince Gustav, his wife Princess Carina and their two children - Prince Gustav Albrecht and Princess Mafalda, Queen Margrethe and the twins.

Seems like Mary loves wearing maxi skirts this summer. First a simple white one on July 12th and a brand new one on July 19th. This new floral printed skirt has been identified as Forte Forte. I love the fine print of flowers - and the fact that it is matching her husbands purple braided belt!

She accessorized the outfit with golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a custom-made ring. The diamond necklace is Halberstadt. Looks like she is wearing two, but I haven't seen a photo of the second one. Not to tell which one she is wearing.

Her cool sandals are from Arteana.
