Day 1. Official visit to Nigeria


June 24, 2025

"The 10 Million Safer Births Initiative"

Queen Mary paid an official visit to Nigeria from June 24 to 25th. She was accompanied by the Danish Minister of Education and Research, Christina Egelund. The visit is based on the Danish Government's "Africa Strategy" and focused on the Danish-Nigerian cooperation in both culture, healthcare and business.

The Queen and Christina Egelund were jointed by, among others, the Nigerian Minister of Women's Affairs Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim at "The 10 Million Safer Births Initiative"-event taking place at the Maitama District Hospital in Abuja.



I simply love when Mary is wearing colors - especially colorful and printed dresses. This is why I adore the La DoubleJ dress so much. She first wore it when visiting Fiji in 2023. Back then she wore it with nude python pumps but this time, Mary had chosen brown mules from Malone Souliers to match the dress. I kinda like that.

A closer look reveal her wearing beautiful golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a custom-made golden ring. Also mastered by Dulong Fine Jewelry. Love how her soft brown curly hair matched the shoes in color. Has her hair been dyed more light brown?

A day in Abuja

Later that day Minister of Education and Research Christina Egelund accompanied Queen Mary when attending a meeting with Nigeria's President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the First Lady Oluremi Tinubu. The meeting took place at State House - the Presidential Villa.

The two of them then visited the Danish ambassador's residence in Nigeria followed by a visit at MeCaht Crisis Center - a center for young women who have been exposed to human trafficking.



Her choice in clothes is outstanding! So far we have seen everything I adore: colors and prints. When meeting the Nigerian President and First Lady at the State House she changed to a bright red blouse from Jesper Høvring and a stunning floral printed Paul & Joe skirt. The pleating's are wonderful. Love how "light" this outfit looks. 

Mary embraced the style with simple python pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Think it is her most beloved pair of shoes.

Her beautiful white South Sea pearl earrings goes way back in time. They are created by Danish Dulong Fine Jewelry. So is her custom-made golden ring. Mary's necklace is rather new. It has been identified as a Louise Grønlykke design.

Reception at The Nordic Abuja

Queen Mary and Christian Egelund, Minister of Education and Research attended a reception at The Nordic Abuja in the evening after a long day in Abuja. She gave a speech on occasion of the reception.



I never been a huge fan of this dress. Think it is the silhouette that doesn't really attracts me. Mary first wore it at a business promotion visit in Sweden in 2017. Back then she also accessorized it with a black leather belt from Isabel Marant. I like the fact that she re-wore an outfit with a few other pieces of accessories.

Her beautiful curly hair was embellished with a new hair comb from talented Ellen Hunter. I really like how she matched white pearl earrings from Annikat with this specific hair comb and amazing pearl ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Still haven't decided whether or not I like (or dislike) this model of shoes from Malone Souliers. What is your opinion? Mary wore brand new ones in black. The design is a collaboration between Malone Souliers and Philosophy (by Alberta Ferretti).

Crown Prince Frederik & Crown Princess Mary during the second day in Stockholm

What a wonderful first day the Crown Prince couple had in Stockholm! Simply amazing to see of four of them spending some time together. And it really seems to me like the two couple's enjoy each others company. Sadly, the visit only lasted two days. 
On the second day Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary spend in Stockholm, Sweden, they were once again accompanied by Crown Princess Victoria and her husband Prince Daniel. While Frederik both visited Stockholm's Water and Waste Management, the music streaming service Spotify in Stockholm and the food store Paradiset, the Crown Princess mot of the day joined by Prince Daniel. They visited Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, llums Bolighus in Stockholm Aleris Båthöjden Plaza and Gamla Riksarkivet to watch a cooking show. From the pictures I have seen, then I believe both Frederik and Mary had a wonderful second day in Sweden. What I enjoyed most was to see Mary when she visited Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset. She was really having a great time with the kids, who also seemed to enjoy Mary's company. Such a pleasure to watch!


I am sure I did not hide my enthusiasm about Mary's clothes from their first day. That new white suit was simply outstanding. I can't wait to see her wear it again, maybe with coloured accessories? And then this new floral dress. Does not get any better, right?! With help from Heaven the dress has been identified as Saks Potts (Collection 7). Take a note that the skirt is pleated. What a lovely detail. Mary embrace the style by wearing a yellow belt and.... matching yellow Gianvito Rossi pumps. That's the way to impress when wearing black and white. At a few visits she also wore her white Prada coat. Keeping everything classy and chic, she also wore white pearl jewellery. Earrings, a bracelet and a ring all three from Dulong Fine Jewelry. I also spotted her golden Cartier bracelet worn on her left wrist. Last but not least, she was wearing her black Quidam clutch which I was only able to find in grey. But the model is the same. So, what do you think? Could you imagine wearing black, white and yellow yourself like Mary just did? Couple of months back I was given a pair of yellow bead earrings and watching Mary, I really want to wear them -as in right now!

Crown Prince Frederik & Crown Princess Mary attending dinner at Stadshuset, Stockholm

After two rather long days with quite many working hours there was only one thing left to do: the official dinner on occasion of the Danish royal couples visit to Sweden. The dinner took place at Stadshuset in Stockholm. A beautiful, old building located right by the sea. Try to look for pictures and you'll know what I mean. It looks perfect for a dinner like this. The Crown Prince couple arrived right before 7:30 pm. local time along with Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, whom which they have spend the last couple of days with. With this dinner the visit is officially over. I have not been able to find any pictures from the dinner taking place, but I am in no doubt that all four of them had a wonderful evening with good food and wine. It has been my pleasure following their whereabouts with all of you and I hope you have had a great time as well!


In the evening on Tuesday, before leaving back to Copenhagen the following day, the Crown Prince couple enjoy one last evening along with the Crown Princess of Sweden and her husband. Mary arrived in a brand new printed black and white dress. I learned about the identity from several of my readers and I want to thanks all of you! It was found at ALTUZARRA (collection: 2016). A designer we are just getting to know. She added a black belt which makes it a bit more edgy and cool look. Not sure I'm the right one to ask whether or not I like it. In a way I do. Maybe even more if it was slightly shorter? Really want your opinion. She accessorized the outfit with earrings and a ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry and black pumps from Gianvito Rossi. What I love most about this outfit is her hair! Gosh it is beautiful. With I was able to make my hair look like this. 

I have not commented on the clutch yet so, here we go. Some while ago I mentioned a possible designer -Sergio Rossi. Since then, everybody thinks it is indeed from Sergio Rossi. I have to say that I do not know that for sure. It is only a suggestion. I ask for one thing which is not to believe in everything I say. Know it sounds a bit weird, but please remember to be critical sometimes also when it comes to thing I say. Of course it is still a possibility I believe but I don't know anything for sure. Thanks.

TrygFondens (new) Family Houses

Tuesday, April 25th

Crown Princess Mary attended the inauguration of the expansion of TrygFondens Family Houses at Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus.


Back in 2012 the Crown Princess attended the grand opening of TrygFondens new family houses at Aarhus University Hospital, here. Today she was back there to attend the inauguration of the expansion of the family houses. These houses acts as home for seriously ill children and their parents and siblings and has been a reality since 2012 when Mary was present at the opening. She arrived to Aarhus in a splendid mood and was welcomed with flowers, smiles and handshakes. She was the one cutting the red ribbon with a fine golden scissors. After the opening, the Crown Princess was given her very own guided tour around the new facilities and got to see the Family Houses playground. Something the children proudly showed her. She was also introduced to a new interactive floor as activity for the children laving with their family in the family houses near by Aarhus University Hospital. Last but not least Mary met a family who live in one of the houses. 



Though the weather is not as splendid was Mary and her mood was at the opening, I love to see her in something a bit more colourful -all because we are getting closer to spring. Without the GOAT Fashion coat her outfit would have been a little plain. But that coat just makes the whole difference! I'm so thrilled we get to see it again. Shortly after the arrival we got a chance to see what she was wearing underneath. Mary has matched a pair of black trousers with a brand new black and white floral printed blouse! A first sight I was sure I had seen that print before, but when I found out where it is from I honestly have to say -that I would never have guessed. The main reason is because I've never heard of this brand before. Jennifer is the one to tell me about Mary's new ALTUZARRA blouse. She embrace the style by wearing a pair of black and white cap-toe pumps from Gianvito Rossi, seen on a previous occasion before this, here. Very chic! Other than the shoes she wore, once again, white pearl jewellery from Dulong Fine Jewellery. Some incredible pieces I differently hope to see (soon) again. Somehow, this outfit makes me in a great mood. So, tell me what do you like the most about this look? Anything specific or just the entire outfit?

Coat: GOAT Fashion Redgrave Wool-Crepe Coat
Earrings: Dulong Fine Jewelry
Ring: Dulong Fine Jewelry
Shoes: Gianvito Rossi Cap-toe 100mm Patent Pumps
