As a tradition was shown, this time two, interviews with the royal couple that was shown during The Crown Prince Couple’s Prizes 2013 award show held in Australia for the first time abroad Denmark. It was a magnificent evening with dazzling dresses and happy faces. Now I have been able to find these two interviews and I just have to share them with you! They are in Danish, so to those of you who can't understand Danish, which I assume many of you don't, lean back and watch amazing memories with Frederik and Mary and all four royal children! In the first interview the couple are filmed in their home at Amalienborg in Copenhagen. In the middle of the interview all four children attends. In the second interview the couple is sailing around the harbor in Copenhagen talking about architecture among others. Oh... I just love these interviews. Happy watching!

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary during their last day in Australia
So this was the last day the couple was in Australia. Their last day was to me as amazing as all the other four. But we still have one day left to talk about and I think it has to be one of the best of course because of the award show in the evening. It was a special show and unique it took place abroad Denmark. Before we can talk about the award show I think we should take a look at how they send their last day. In the morning Frederik and Mary attended the presentation of the Export Association diploma and His Royal Highness Prince Henrik's Medal of Honour. It was the Crown Prince who handed over the medallion to General Manager at ECCO Shoes Pacific Pty, Morten Lauge. With the Crown Prince couple and the politician Marianne Jelved a picture was taken which you see above. Around 45 minutes after the presentation they were headed to attend a business lunch hosted by Danish Industry (Dansk Industri) which took place in the Sydney Opera House. What a place to have lunch, right? I wouldn't mind trying that. Well, maybe one day.
You know I love to talk about Mary's outfits, she is always a source of inspiration to me which I think she is to you as well. It is not easy for me to describe why I like her style so much but I think it's because of her confidence, the sense of quality of her clothes and how she always 'plays' with her style. Sometimes it's classic and sometimes it's more minimalistic and edgy. No doubt that the day before yesterdays outfit was the perfect business-look. Simple and elegant in a brand new WILLOW dress identified by by Sarah. Thank you so much for your help with the dress! I just found out that Mary actually bought this dress at a shopping trip the same day in a WILLOW store in Sydney. And why wait? I love that she wears her newly purchased jacquard stretch dress. Styled with Marianne Dulong jewellery and Christian Louboutin pumps she could wear this any time, at any event. I wonder if the curry cardigan is the same as she wore last year at the gathering at Gråsten Castle? Worn with the colourful Free People maxi dress. And of course she wore her Carlend Copenhagen clutch matching the cardigan beautifully!

Crown Prince Frederik & Crown Princess Mary: The Crown Prince Couple’s Prizes 2013
Finally the time has arrived when Frederik and Mary attended The Crown Prince Couple's Prizes 2013! Something I have been looking forward to since the last one, last year. The Crown Princes Couple's Prizes was established in 2004 as a wedding gift to Frederik and Mary and was first presented in 2005. This was a gift from the Bikuben Foundation (Bikubenfonden). Until 2009 the award had another name: The Crown Prince Couple's Cultur Prize and then it was changed to the current name. At the same time, in 2009, the numbers of prizes was expanded from one to four, three different categories. The award show is always broadcasted live on the Australian TV station SBS 1 and the Danish DR1, which means both nationalities had the chance to watch the show -I did. But 2013 isn't just a normal year because this year it's the first time the show take place abroad Denmark. The award show is a window into a world of art, music and artistic work. Creative artists from a wide range of work. The purpose of the Royal Couple Pricing is to highlight and recognize the extraordinary
performance in the Danish culture and social work. During the evening over DKK 1,1 million were handed over to new talents on the stage in front of 1,000 evening-dressed guests. Four prizes were were presented by the royal couple on the stage. You see them all down below. I don't know if you watched the show last night but I was overwhelmed by the entertainment as well as the presentations, and the winners speeches. Such a wonderful show. One little funny thing to mention what happened during the evening: Mary was about the give her speech to one of the winners in English of course when she switched to Danish. Like everybody else Mary just laughed at switched to English again. This was a brilliant moment from the evening, watch it if you can find it.
I think I am in love with her look from the award show! I was so happy to see her in that stunning Ole Yde gown again. Makes me happy just to look at it. Frederik was looking very handsome in his classic black and white suit wearing a black bow tie. The perfect evening dress coat for a man and with Mary next to him, they balanced beautifully. Mary was so feminine in the layered dress featuring only one shoulder. I'm sure you remember this isn't the first time we have seen it because back in 2009, five years ago, when Frederik and Mary visited Vietnam accompanied by Queen Margrehte and Prince Henrik she wore her Ole Yde creation for the first time at a return dinner. At that time she wore it with a black sequin clutch, a side chignon done by the Queens hairdresser and white pearl earrings. The only thing similar was the clutch and the black Prada pumps. At this years award show Mary wore the gorgeous Ole Lynggaard earrings as well as other jewelry's from the same designer, here I need to mention that her new black bracelet was identified by What Crown Princess Mary Wore and Pernille. Thanks to both of you! Her hair was done beautifully in a low chignon with a twist on top. There are so many wonderful details to look at. She is like a real princess!
Well, this was the last event on the last day. Frederik and Mary have spend five days in Australia which we have followed closely. I really enjoyed the visit. They have experienced everything from gala events, business dinners, exhibitions and destroyed houses. Hope I was able to give you the best and most interesting news from the trip. Take care and have fun till next time!

Day 4: Official State Visit in Australia
October, 27th
Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary are on their official state visit in Australia. This is the second last day before they will return to Denmark.
Program:
- Program change! The royal couple visited the city Winmalee in the Blue Mountains area which is hard hit by the ongoing forest fires in Australia.
- 5:30 pm. The couple were present at a gala concert celebration of the Opera house's 40-year anniversary. During the concert Crown Princess Mary gave a speech and after there was a reception for invited guests which in royal couple attended.
Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary visiting Winmalee
The situation is a little special in Australia, especially around Sydney, these days because of massive bushfires raging and many families have lost their homes. This has been going on the last week or so. Not only houses have been destroyed but cities as well are damaged because of the fires. This is the reason for the couple's official program was changed a bit, to visit some of these families and volunteer firefighters from Winmalee Fire Station who all work to repair the damages. When Frederik and Mary arrived to Australia a few days ago they expressed their concern in a short interview to the Sydney Morning Harald, telling that they have followed news about the bushfires closely from their home in Denmark the past eight days. Among others Mary says this: "Our deepest sympathy goes to those who have been affected. Our respect goes to those who work in controlling fires that are really scary." Very thoughtful of them to show they sympathy and meet some of those who tragically lost their homes. It was clear that both of them were affected by what they saw in Winmalee in the Blue Mountains area which has been hit by rampant bushfires. The ruined houses was blocked by police to make sure who ever comes near them aren't in danger. The couple spoke with family member who lost their house, police men, firefighters such as volunteers to her their stories and how the devastating fires has affected them and what they do to help as much as possible. They have my deepest sympathy and I hope the families will be able to recover after all this. It must be terrible to loos your home to a fire.
Despite the horrible situation, the royal couple were met by smiles. I think it was important to these families that the couple took the time to think of them and met them in person, showing their deepest sympathy. Dressed casually in jeans, a white lace blouse and a blue cardigan -nothing very spectacular but I really like that all her attention went to the locals. That's what's important about this visit.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended a gala concert at the Opera House
Their evening was a bit more happy. They attended the 40th anniversary gala concert for the Sydney Opera House both looking their absolute best! Thousands of people had gathered to get a glimpse of the couple and there was plenty to look at despite the fact that there were only two of them. Mary delivered a speech during the anniversary gala concert. She stepped right in front of thousands of people on the big stage and everyones eyes were on her, standing on her own so everybody could see her. With the black background she was lightning like a snowflake in the white Prada coat and wonderful new Valentino dress! Her speech was broadcasted on a huge flatscreen. Mary once again found her seat next to Frederik and he could not stand to give his wife a kiss because of her great speech. I love to see such tiny almost invisible moments like this. The concert was held with Sydney Opera House in the background, standing like a giant. It was with flags, waving hands and happy faces the couple arrived to attend the gala concert on behalf of the Opera house 40th anniversary. After the concert there was a firework in playful colours. A great way to end a great evening.
To me this is a stunning example of how beautiful our Crown Princess Mary can be. Dressed in white and gold be rocked the celebration like the most brilliant diamond in a ring. Getting the attention she deserves if you ask me. Shining as a star Mary captures by heart with this outfit. You might recognize the Valentino evening dress or should I say old dress because actually it's from a Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection AND at that time another royal was spotted in the exact same dress?! Yes that's right, the exact same dress. Do you remember who? If not, it was the Crown Princess of Norway, Mette-Marit who around 2010 wore the golden sequin dress from Valentino. Crown Princess Mette-Marit was also looking very pretty in hers but sorry Norway Mary wins this if you ask me. Mary was so glamours! In gold as well Mary wore Marianne Dulong earrings and bracelets, the snakeskin Judith Leiber clutch and of course the marvelous Valentino rockstud shoes! I loose my breath every single time I see her wear these. On her left hand she wore a quite lovely amber ring. The classic chignon hairstyle is popular with Mary in the recent past, which I adore. If you get the chance take a look at the beautiful makeup as well; brown eye makeup and pale pink lipgloss making her rather thin lips bigger.
So tomorrow is their last day in Australia. I think it's a little sad but I have enjoyed every moment from their trip and maybe the best part we haven't seen yet because tomorrow the couple will attend the presentation of The Royal Couple's Prizes 2013!
