Queen Margrethe and her husband Prince Henrik have in many years both loved to be creative with each their interest. Margrethe has painted, sawn and made collages to movies. Henrik writes poetry and makes sculptures. They both work with a sense of modern art. Now the royal couple decided to exhibit their designs under the name Pas de Deux Royal - an artistic meeting (Pas de Deux Royal - et kunstnerisk møde). The exhibition is placed in Aarhus in the art museum ARoS and displays 150 pieces, new and old, divided into 10 different galleries over approx. 1,000 square meters. The 150 art pieces is exhibited from October 12 2013 to February 23 2014. Among others the Queens landscape paintings, church textiles, set designs and decoupage and Prince Consort poems and sculptures will be exhibited. These are characteristic pieces of art made by the royal couple. Because this is a exhibition by the Queen and Prince they of course attended the opening. They have also been a part of the process before the opening day -where to place the 150 pieces etc. in collaboration with the staff at ARoS. Pas de Deux Roayl was opened with poems written and told by Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik themselves. I have to admit, I've never seen or read any of their poems. As a royalist I might consider it. Have you read one of their creations?

The reason why I post about this new royal exhibition is because Frederik and Mary also attended the opening. I made me so happy to see all four of them together, doing something together. Normally they only gather when the event is new year, gala dinners, state visits you name it. My guess is their presence was to support Margrethe and Henrik at such a special day. A royal event gets a little better when Mary is there. To me it also seems like the four of them make a great team, this makes me wonder how it all will be when Frederik and Mary become King and Queen? Don't you think they will bring their children with them when they get older? Enough about all my questions. To this opening Mary shone in a bordeaux floral creation from Hennes & Mauritz. It's like we know the pattern, right? I think this must be the 4th or 5th items she wear from that one specific conscious collection fall 2011. I do not complain! I love every single items from that collection; the woolen cardigans, floral skirt and dresses, pastel colours mixed with darker colours. This is who I like a collection, unfortunately I was never there to buy any of the items and they are actually not easy to find. Lately we have seen her in bordeaux with I adore, she dressed the colour beautifully especially with her dark brown hair. Cenius & Bach designed her earrings which, yesterday night, featured pink pendants instead of the original purple stones. To match the bordeaux dress she chose Prada-pumps in the same dark bordeaux colour such as red lipstick and to me a rather dramatic eye-make up. No clutch only her Shamballa Jewels bracelet. Well, I am not complaining!

Sydney Morning Herald

The October issue of Sydney Morning Herald was this year very special, at least to all of us royalists. The Australian newspaper did an interview with future king and queen of Denmark, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary. Far away from Australia is many of us but thanks to the sweet Alison I have a few photos to show you! Alison you have been very kind to me and I thank you for the time you used to send me the pictures. Because stunning pictures were taken by Franne Voigt of the couple.

Meeting at Christiansborg

October, 10th

Crown Princess Mary attended a meeting at Christiansborg Castle with Minister for Development Cooperation, Christian Friis Bach, The Parliamentary Intergroup Network for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights.


Graceful as always, Mary arrived to Christiansborg Castle in the middle of Copenhagen. Christiansborg is where the Danish parliament works. Normally we only see the members of the royal family at Christiansborg when they attend the annual opening of the parliament in October, where they are all dressed beautifully in feminine coats and large hats. This time it was a bit more serious, bring up and talk about important subjects. To the meeting  Minister for Development Cooperation, Christian Friis Bach, and the Parliamentary Intergroup Network for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights. The meeting was held behind closed doors and we only saw Mary at the arrival and a single pictures where all participants were gathered, including her looking absolutely amazing!

When I write a post about a new event and of course outfit, it's great to identify all of the items but it also makes it hard to keep all this organized in my personal folders and here in the posts. Don't worry I'll handle it as always. The reason why I mention it, is because at the meeting she was wearing quite many detailed items I can identify. Actually all of it. That's pretty amazing and that is only possible with the help from you, so thanks! The look got some great colours to the rather cold October weather we have in Denmark at the moment. Which also surprises me she's wearing bare legs and no coat, she is a tough lady. The Hugo Boss peplum is a classic design fits almost any other item she owns, Mary matched it with a pencil skirt from the same designer. In black leather she wore her SAND Copenhagen pumps which was a great balance in colours to the rest of the outfit. But a little colour are needed, the beautiful bordeaux became this one other colour. With the help from P.G., Kate and theRoyaloutfitofCrownPrincessMary I can tell you that the new bordeaux bag is from Adax. Thanks you very much girls! Am I the only one who just love it?! I have a thing with this wine red/bordeaux. With new earrings from Marianne Dulong, a golden watch from Cartier and a necklace from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen Mary showed a classic and edgy business-look!

Nothing is better than a day with mom. Mary and her two oldest children Christian and Isabella spend a day together in Tivoli, Copenhagen, to watch a musical El Dorado: The Search for the Golden City. I don't know if you ever had the chance to watch a musical, if so you know for sure how amazing it is. The musical the royal family members watched was about the legendary story about El Dorado the lost city of gold. The history about El Dorado goes back to the 16. hundred and tells a story about a  king with the same name which was covered with gold every day. Then in the 16. hundred the spanish conquistadors spread and they began a search for the city of gold. I think a musical like this  have been fantastic to watch. Both Mary and her children were in a really great mood when they arrived to the glass hall (Glassalen) in Tivoli with some friends of Christian and Isabella. All were happy and excited about the musical. The day in Tivoli was not a part of Mary's official calendar, still she was dressed like a princess! A modern mother with everything under control she amazed me with her choice of clothes. I really want to thanks all of you who gave me the ID. of the bordeaux knitted jacket Mary was wearing. You identified it as Isabel Marant Étoile! Well, I wouldn't mind wearing that. Neither would I mind wearing her stunning Christian Louboutin glossed leather pumps which features the iconic red sole. Under the jacket she wore a white lace blouse which I haven't been able to find, I like the two of them together. I adore the combo of the black and red colours, the Isabel Marant Éstoile jacket, the black capri trousers and Prada coat with the Christian Louboutin pumps. One stylish mother. I am so sure that I need to try this myself!
