Day 3. Official visit to the Faroe Islands

Eiði


June 13, 2025

King Frederik, Queen Mary and Princess Josephine have visited the islands of Tórshavn, Vágur, Fámjin, Tvøroyi as part of an official visit to the Faroe Islands. The tree days visit is hosted by Attorney General Aksel V. Johannesen.

On June 13th, the three of them docked with Dannebrog in Eiði. The King and Queen were pleased to meet the artists Sigrun Gunnarsdóttir. Sigrun is born and raised in Eiði. Her art is created with inspiration from the Faroese nature and culture.

The royal couple were then welcomed in Vaglið by the Mayor of Eiði. He introduced the them to the city council and gave a welcoming speech. King Frederik and Queen Mary also enjoyed lunch at Hólmhúsið.



Did you know that Mary's Strenesse jacket goes back to 2005 and is part of a pants suit? She first wore it in public in 2006 when visiting Kiel. When visiting Eiði Mary styled the jacket with a checkered Ralph Lauren skirt. It was first seen in 2018. I kinda like the skirt but I am not sure it goes well with the jacket. What do you think?

She accessorized the outfit with beloved golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and a matching custom-made ring also crafted by Dulong Fine Jewelry. Her smashing black heeled boots are reused from Gianvito Rossi. I really want a pair of boots like these. Maybe brown leather.

Hiking in Eiðiskollur

North of Eiði lies the mountain Eiðiskollur. King Frederik, Queen Mary and Princess Josephine hiked Eiðiskollur. The mountain is a 343-meter-high rock formation which offered a magnificent view of the landscape.

On their trip to Eiðiskollur they found a few fjallabrúður - a unique mountain flower, which is also seen in Queen Mary's national costome.



Hiking around Eiði Mary had chosen the perfect outfit: her blue down-jacket from Patagonia and green Laksen trousers. Looks like she was also wearing a black jacket. The chic tweed cap is still a mystery. As you know it was first worn by her husband some year's back. Suddenly, Mary started wearing it.

She kept all her belongings in a Haglöfs backpack. The hiking boots are new ones from Salomon.

Reception at Danneborg

It has been three wonderful days for the royal couple and their youngest visiting Tórshavn, Vágur, Fámjin, Tvøroyi and Eiði.

On June 13th the King and Queen hosted a reception at Dannebrog. The reception marks the official end of the couple's visit.



Wauw! Mary looked absolutely stunning. Radiant in her bright red dress created by the talented Danish tailor Birgit Hallstein. She was the one tailoring Mary's wedding gown. Birgit Hallstein also made quite a few other dressed for Mary since the wedding in 2004.

We only have a couple of photos from the reception at Dannebrog. They show Mary in her stunning dress and jewellery from Rebekka Notkin. She is fond of wearing these earrings with the golden bangle and diamond studded ring. Iconic designs by Rebekka Notkin.

Official visit to the Faroe Islands

Private visit to Koltur


June 10, 2025

King Frederik and Queen Mary will be on official visit to the Faroe Island's from June 11 to 13th. They will be staying on board Dannebrog. The couple will be visiting Tórshavn, Vágur, Fámjin, Tvøroyi and Eiði. The tree day visit is hosted by Attorney General Aksel V. Johannesen.

The couple made a private visit at the island of Koltur south of Streymoy prior to the official visit on June 11. Princess Josephine surprised everbody with her participation. What an experience to have with your parents.

The three of them visited the historical settlements Nor ami í Ger Kongi and Heima í Húsi. These settlements are from dated back to the Viking age.



I am not quite sure if it in fact is the same jacket. If it is the same color. If so then Mary's Cintamani jacket goes back to 2009 or 2010. Mary also wore a Cintamani jacket skiing in Verbier in 2013. When visiting Koltur she stayed warm in a down-jacket from Patagonia as well and trousers from Laksen.

She has worn the tweed cap quite a few times. It has never been identified. Frederik has been seen wearing the cap too. Mary's practical backpack is a new one from Haglöfs. The Salomon shoes were a perfect match for the hike around Koltur. I think she was wearing her health-tracking ring.

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.

Visiting Lerbjerg Forest


30 January 2025

Queen Mary is new patron of the Danish Nature Fond. She "inaugurated" the new title with a visit at Lerbjerg Forest in Lejre. 

The Danish Nature Fond was founded back in 2015. The foundation aim to promote the protection of nature and water environment in Denmark.

Along with with Chairman of the Danish Nature Fond Bengt Holst, the Queen went for a walk-and-talk. They were accompanied by representatives of the Danish Nature Fond (among others biologist Frederik Møller) and Lejre Municipality. During the walk she also helped inaugurate a new handicap accessible boardwalk.



A walk in the forest this time a year in Denmark takes a good and warm outfit. Mary knew that when she was visiting Lerbjerg Forest in Lejre. She had chosen a practical olive green Laksen jacket and matching trousers. Mary first wore this set when visiting Greenland July 2024. The warm gloves are also from Laksen.

Mary was also wearing wonderful boots from Penelope Chilvers and a cozy plum knitted beanie. Pretty sure the beanie is new.

Love the fact that we have a Queen comfortable wearing both elegant gala gowns and a down-on-earth outdoor outfit.

Day 8.

Official visit to Greenland


06 July 2024

The King and Queen (and the twins) already spend more than a week in Greenland. On their last day, they visited Narsaq and Qassiarsuk. They were welcomed in Narsaq by Mayor Stine Egede and members of the board. To mark the couple's visit, King Frederik panted a pine tree at the administration building.

Before attending lunch with municipal council members and the local business community, the royal couple paid a visit to the local sports hall in Narsaq.

In Qassiarsuk they were welcomed by board member Piitaq Lung by whom they were given a tour around the village followed by the traditional 'kaffemik'.



By now we know all about her dark green Laksen suit. She has worn it almost every day since they first arrived in Qaanaaq. Mary was wearing a grey turtleneck, her navy blue Moncler down-vest and Penelope Chilvers boots. These boots have also been her favorite shoes to wear during they stay in Greenland.

The cap. Actually, King Frederik was first seen wearing this tweed cap in 2018 on a trip to the Faroe Islands. Since then, his wife has been fond of wearing it. I am still clueless where to find it. But it looks good on her.

I wanna thank you for following the official visit with me - despite my writings have been a little late. Your loyalty means the world to me. Thanks!

Day 7.

Official visit to Greenland


05 July 2024

Another day in Nuuk

The couple have accompanied each other the last week, but today they attended a few events on their own before hosting a reception onboard Dannebrog.

King Frederik visited school students who have participated in projects and competitions created by Kalaallit Nunaat - the Foundation for Entrepreneurship. He was given a guided tour around the school and introduced to some of the students ideas developed in relation with Kalaallit Nunaat.

Meanwhile, Queen Mary visited the institution Naasut. They work with the Mary Foundation's project 'Free Bullying'. The Greenlandic name is Kammagiitta. Head of Naasut Katherine Larsen Lennert talked about how they work with the project on a daily basis.



I do like a good tailored suit and Mary has so many beautiful sets. This one from SKALL Studio is not my favorite - simply because of its 80s oversize blazer. Nevertheless, I love how she matched it with a reused white BOSS blouse. Great choice. It soften the look a bit. The belt is Celine.

She embraced the outfit with elegant golden earrings and a bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Her two other golden bangles are still a true mystery to me. I think they are custom-made. The diamond necklace is Halberstadt. Look closer and you will see her Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen ring.

I am not able to tell the exact model but she is indeed wearing brand new suede Prada boots. To me they look chocolate-brown.

Arriving in Narsarsuaq

King Frederik and Queen Mary spend first half of their day in Nuuk and after hosting a reception at lunch time, they traveled to Narsarsuaq. The couple (and the twins) travel with Dannebrog. They arriving were captured in a few photos. Nothing fancy. Just the couple arriving in silence.

The photos gave us a glimpse of a wonderful traveling outfit. Mary wore a stunning new jacket from Meqqussalik and green Laksen trousers. Adore her natural look: soft curly hair, Gucci glasses and Penelope Chilvers boots. She was also seen wearing the trousers a couple of days ago when fishing in the Eternal Fjord.

Mary was also seen wearing a brand new bag. It has been identified as Palorosa. Never heard of the brand before but I really like this design.

Visiting Igaliku

When arriving in Narsarsuaq a little earlier it was also to visit the small 'bygd' (a village) Igaliku. The King and Queen will spend the night in Igaliku.

Igaliku is known as the village where the famous viking chief Erik the Red docked with his ship more than a thousand years ago. He settled in Greenland as was leader of the northerners.

King Frederik and Queen Mary also went for a walk at 'Kongevejen' (the kings road) named after Kind Frederik IX in 1952.



When visiting Igaliku, Mary had chosen to keep on her green Laksen trousers as when the couple arrived in Narsarsuaq. She matched it with her Laksen jacket and new Laksen checkered blouse. Mary, please wear this blouse again. Looks so good on you! Even Frederik wore a checkered blouse - and a jacket matching his wife.

She stayed warm by wearing a brown knitted beanie and scarf. I think the scarf is the one she received as a gift when visiting Greenland in 2004.

The suede boots are from Penelope Chilvers.

Day 5.

Official visit to Greenland


03 July 2024

The family had no official appearances on July 3rd and King Frederik, Queen Mary and Prince Vincent decided to go fishing at the the Eternal Fjord. The Government President Múte Bourup Egede accompanied them and acted as host of the day.

Múte Bourup Egede introduced them to the magnificent nature and shared what he know about whales, seals and the polar fox.

Did you catch any fish? - indeed they did. The fish were later cocked on the way back to Dannebrog.



How many countries can brag about having a Queen that show up on a boat in Greenland fishing wearing outdoor clothes? - Denmark can! Mary even look stylish wearing her Laksen set. That olive green is a great color for her. She first wore the trousers a few days ago when visiting Qeqertarsuaq on June 30th.

This time she styled the set with her raspberry red knitted beanie and Gucci sunglasses. With help from UFO No More her new gloves have been identified as Laksen. One again, Mary was wearing Penelope Chilvers boots. Perfekt for the event.

Day 2.

Official visit to Greenland


30 June 2024

The royal family were on a very special mission today. They sailed the seas around Qeqertarsuaq to inaugurate a whale microphone. An equipment used by the Arctic Station's scientists to follow and get closer to the animals at sea at the Disco Bay.

Later on, the family were welcomed at Kongebroen in Qeqertarsuaq with a following reception at Hotel Qeqertarsuaq. King Frederik joined the 'ready-set-go' of 'Qeqertarsuaq Race, Family Mile', which Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine participated.



Time for some war clothes. No doubt that the family have packed for colder weather. Today, Mary wore a number of different jacket - also worn at the same time. One of them is a brand new blue down-jacket from Patagonia. Another one from well-known Härkila. A third reused one from Uniqlo and a fourth navy blue wool-blend coat. I do not remember if we have seen this last coat before. But I doubt it.

Mary later matched a knitted beanie with a beautiful dark raspberry turtleneck. I love a good turtleneck! Looks good with everything. Fine skirts, tweed, simple black trousers, etc. That is exactly what Mary wore. Simple black trousers. I like it.

After their boat-trip, Mary changed to something a bit more stylish (the navy blue coat, black JOSEPH trousers and colorful turtleneck). She also changed her shoes. According to UFO No More, she wore new ankle boots from R.M. Williams. I haven't been able to find any photos clearly showing her boots, but this time I go with the flow. Her other boots are from Penelope Chilvers.

The sunglasses need no further introduction. They are from Gucci and of course you all know about her fine little brown leather bag from Chloe. It goes back to 2013.
