It was Frederik who began on his own the third and last day in Mexico. The couple have stayed in Mexico the last three days with a business delegation on 52 companies and with the Danish Health Minister Astrid Krag to help improve the trade between the two countries in the future. In about two and a half hour Frederik managed to attend three different events. First he visited the Sigma Alimentos factory in Tula that produces and supplies frozen food, next he visited Pemex in Mexico City and last he participated in a meeting with the business delegation form Denmark, the Federal Electricity Commission and makers. Around noon both of them attended a reception with the health care system and with representative from Denmark followed by a reception for The Danish Colony in Mexico and friends of Denmark. I think it was very clear this last day of their stay what the real reason for their visit was. They participated in several different events during the day to develop the relationship between them and us -Denmark and Mexico. Together with the Health Minister and the business delegation, Frederik and Mary represented Denmark perfectly.  When visiting The Danish Colony in Mexico and friends of Denmark around 100 guests from the Danish colony met the couple with sparkling eyes and a wide smile. They got the chance to tell the couple a little bit about their life in South America. The royal couple met both young and old Danes who all live in Mexico. Many of the participant guests attended with their Mexican wife or husband, girlfriend or boyfriend. Afterwards the couple visited the ABC Hospital where Danish health solutions were presented to them during the visit. They both showed an interested in their work and how the health solutions might be able to help many people in the future. On her own Mary attended their last visit, which was a visit to the Diarq Foundation which aims to help women who have been victims of domestic violence. They are among other things offered a save and protected home. The press wasn't allowed inside when Mary got at chance to talk to some of the women who have been given help. Hearing their stories clearly moved her. This was the last visit on the trip to Mexico and I have to say I think it have been a wonderful trip, something I'll remember that is for sure. 



During their last day Mary showed us some good old stuff. The first thing we all noticed was of course the black floral printed Ralph Lauren (Blue Label collection) dress, or that was what I saw as the first thing. Maybe it is because I love that dress so much, with the white roses and all. Ralph Lauren's designs are so romantic and classy. Mary in this dress is pure love to me. Really made me happy to see her wear it again. Even though it's just black and white the print makes it much more exciting. Nothing boring about it. From one event to another she wore her simple black Prada coat worn at multiple occasions.  A coat like this you can wear any day, any time a year. Underneath she kept her arms warm with a matching black cardigan. To match her beige Christian Louboutin pumps with the rest of the outfit is clever of her, they give the exact amount of femininity this outfit needs. Another classic accessories I love her for having added to her look is the grey Chanel body-cross bag featuring the characteristic chain shoulder strap and logo at front. What is special about this bag isn't the designer nor the model but the pattern. That is very unique and special compared to the original Chanel bag. We did not see much colour but the little we actually did see I really love! The brand new Marianne Dulong earrings featuring a red pendant and a diamond in the middle. The only thing you can do I love them for their simple and feminine design. Natural makeup as always highlighting all her best features and of course the timeless hairstyle. A brilliant way to end a great trip to Mexico, don't you think? Glad I got to share all of this with you.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary during their second day in Mexico City

Yet another business day in Mexico! Their second day began with a seminar at the St. Regis Hotel in Mexico City. Among other Frederik got at chance to have a little chat with the Mexican Energy Minister Pedro Joaquin Coldwell which he was also photographed with. The royal couple attended three different seminars dealing with three different areas food, healthcare and industry: Food Ingredients and optimization seminar, Healthcare seminar and Agro Industry and food technology seminar. These three areas are the main reason why Frederik and Mary are visiting Mexico these days, to improve and develop the trade of these things better in the future between Denmark and Mexico. Around 1:00 a clock local time, they were headed to attend the opening of Mexico's first bicycle barometer. The aim is to make Mexico City a more bicycle-friendly city and the best example is Denmark. The perfect combination because Denmark is one of the most well known cities in the world to use our bicycles. I'm sure Mexico use what we do in Denmark to develop their new barometer. Actually the barometer are produced in Denmark. Health Minister Astrid Krag did also attend the opening like mayor Miguel Angel Mancera. Three hours later the couple attended another opening this time of a exhibition on sustainable Danish design at Soumaya Museum also in Mexico City. Entering the stage in her brand new silk Max Mara Studio drew, our beautiful Mary gave a speech at the opening. Because fashion is such a huge industry it's where sustainable really can make a difference, as Mary advocates. Attending an event like this it would have been very appropriate for her to wear a dress that's made sustainable. But the fact that she is supporting the concept is great to me.

When we are talking fashion let's keep on doing that. Because I really want to say some more about the Max Mara dress featuring the most wonderful Chinese blossom print in breathtaking dusty colours - just as I love them. Because it was a windy day in Mexico City she chose to wear a reused white shawl but I did only cover her upper body. At the exhibition on sustainable design we finally got to see the whole dress. I loved it before and even more after. A very beautiful dress featuring stunning details to look at for hours. I also like the way she chose a beige belt to mark her waist. Her dark brown were done in a half updo seen multiple times before over the years. It's a classic. Something else we have seen a million times are the Marianne Dulong earrings and bracelet such as the Shamballa Jewels. Another classic item is the Carlend Copenhagen clutch in the stunning brown colour. A great match in my opinion. Do we ever get tired of these accessories? -high quality, timeless design and colour. I don't think so. On her feet she wore the one and only simple pump from Christian Louboutin.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attending a gala dinner in the evening

 After a long day it all ended them attending a gala dinner in the evening with the Danish ambassador as host. It took place at the magnificent and overwhelmingly beautiful restored abby ex. Convento de San Hipólito. In the dark the guest were sitting at round tables only lightened up by candles. In the middle music was playing to entertain all the invited guests. And of course any gala dinner gets a little better if Frederik and Mary participated. A night get that magic sparkle it needs to become fulfilled. Honestly I am pretty sure the guests were not disappointed. Mary in her red dress and silver accessories sparkling in the camera light and Frederik dressed in a his black suit and blue tie they welcomed all the guests with a smile and glimpse in their eyes. Wish I was the one attending that dinner! Haven't you never wished to attend at gala dinner with Frederik and Mary?

...and she did it once again! Mary in her red V-neck dress really surprised me in a good way. Often women tend to chose black dresses to an evening dinner, many of the invited guests wore black. But not our dazzling Mary. She is unique such as her style. It was so clever of her to wear the eye-catching dress with silver accessories. The perfect way to shine, if that is even possible. I have to say I think Mary looks breathtaking at the evening dinner. Actually it's the second time we see her in that dress I love so much but the first time you didn't really noticed it. Do you recall when? It was in 2012 at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in London. At then she was photographed with Princess Charlene of Monaco. Back then she also wore the dress with silver accessories - belt and a cardigan. You see a photo of the two royal women below. Since then I haven't found out who the designer is, maybe you happen to know something? I know a little more about where the accessories are from. According to Royal Regal the earrings are custom made to Mary by Marianne Dulong. You can change the pendant that is why they look of them are so different every time we see them. Before Royal Regal gave the information that Marianne Dulong was the actual designer, my mind came across several possible jewellery designers but non of them seemed to be the right one; now I know why. The metallic silver belt and clutch matched perfectly! The amazing and expensive silver bangle watch is created by Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe for Georg Jensen. A fantastic piece of work I wouldn't mind wearing. 

Another piece of jewellery I wouldn't mind wearing is the ring on her right hand. This is the second time we see her wear it, at a evening dinner in 2011 when Frederik and Mary visited Australia with the twins for the first time. The ring features three red jewellery stones surrounded by diamonds. What I'm telling you know about this ring is not something I have been able to confirm at all but what I read is that the ring once belonged to the former Queen Alexandrine of Denmark. She got married to Crown Prince Christian X of Denmark. I think she wore it as a brooch on her engagement photo, here. You have to take a very close look at the photo to see it but I'm pretty sure it's the same.

Day 1: Official Visit in Mexico

November, 11th

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary are on official visit in Mexico from November 11 to 13 as head of a Danish business delegation. They will be accompanied by Health Minister Astrid Krag and a business delegation of 52 companies. The visit focuses on Danish and Mexican trade in health and welfare, agriculture and food, energy and climate-friendly technology.

Program: 
  • 10:00 am. Visiting the CTDUCA Foundation and their work with education and care for people with Down Syndrome.
  • 11:00 pm. The couple visited the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City where they were introduced to the history of Mexico and the museum's three main galleries. 
  • 1:00 pm. The couple were officially welcomed to Mexico by President H.E Enrique Peña Nieto and First Lady Angélica Rivera de Peña in the presidential residence in Mexico City.
  • 3:10 pm. Visiting the Papalote Children's Museum in Mexico City. During the visit the couple met Mexican children from The Denmark School.
  • 4:10 pm. The couple participate in the ceremony "Key to the City" with mayor of Mexico City Miguel Ángel Mancera. 
  • 8:30 pm. Participated in a charity concert by the Danish band the Raveonettes. The concert took place in El Plaza Condesa in Mexico City. 

Only a month ago our favourite royal couple went on a official visit to Australia and now they are going on a three-day official visit to Mexico with Danish Health Minister Astrid Krag and a 52 company business delegation to focus on improving the trade between Denmark and Mexico in among others healthcare and welfare, climate-friendly technology and agriculture. Their three-day visit is packeted with different activities and places to be from the morning till late evening. If I'm correct the couple arrived to Mexico yesterday and was on November 11 ready to spend their day with the Mexican citizens. Their day started at 11:00 am. by visiting the CTDUCA Foundation. The foundation works with education and care taking of people with Down Syndrome. During the visit they royal couple were presented including how a certain dietary supplements can help to improve the cognitive abilities of people with Down syndrome. With big smiles on their lips Frederik and Mary got to talk and meet some of the children connected to the foundation while they were cocking. To me it's wonderful to see how we give these people a second chance, helping them to get better in the everyday etc. I have a cuisine who was born with Down Syndrome and I makes me happy to see how to help these children in every possible way. Makes me happy to see all of them smile. An hour later the couple went on to the next visit at the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City where they were introduced to the history of Mexico and the museum's three main galleries. I think it must have been a fascination visit seeing some of the Mexican history because let us admit it, Mexico have a really interesting ancient history with myths, cultural stories etc.


Often on a official visit like this Frederik and Mary are official welcomed by the hosted as one of the first things. This time the couple were welcomed by President H.E Enrique Peña Nieto and First Lady Angélica Rivera de Peña in the presidential residence in Mexico City, afterwards. And of course no visit without a little fun. Around noon they visited the Papalote Children's Museum. During the visit the couple met Mexican children from The Denmark School and their LEGO-buildrings as a part of the LEGO-workshop. The children here get the chance to build their own future city and at the same time learn about environmental friendliness. In the afternoon attended the Royal Couple in the ceremony Key to the City with the Mayor of Mexico City, Miguel Ángel Mancera. At the ceremony the royal couple were presented with the key to the city, which symbolically give them free access to Mexico City. What a guests! When the clock turned 8:30 pm., local time, in the evening they attended a concert with the Danish band Raveonettes at El Plaza Condesa.

This first day Mary showed us her femininity wearing the most stunning floral peplum! So wonderful featuring the large white roses. I have been able to identify the new romantic peplum and I found it at Dolce & Gabbana. It was a little surprising to see her wearing a floral peplum, because we have only seen her in plain cloud blouses like these. But I love that she try something new. Not many of us are that good a wearing prints or at least I'm not. Don't know about you. This is an item I would so much love to see again maybe with a pair of white trousers? I think it would look as good as the white pencil skirt. Give me the feeling us summer, sun and long nights. She accessorized the outfit with Marianne Dulong jewellery, classic white pearl jewellery.  I remember telling you that her beautiful silver ring featuring the large white pearl was most likely inherited from her mother-in-law, Queen Margrethe, but I was completely wrong. A friend of mine, Pernille, gave me the clue that proved another truth. Jewellery designer Marianne Dulong uses a special file technique which has been seen on her ring. That is why we must assume Dulong has created this as well. She matched the rest of the outfit with a beige Naledi Copenhagen (Fall/Winter 2011/2012) clutch and patent leather pumps from Jimmy Choo. I read somewhere else she was wearing Christian Louboutin shoes but I'm quite sure that is not true.

Concert and Dinner at Fredensborg Castle

November, 5th
Photo @Agnés Colbert

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended a concert followed by a dinner with representatives from the health sector which was held at Fredensborg Palace hosted by Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik. 


The Danish royal family were gathered for a wonderful evening when they attended both a concert and a dinner at Fredensborg Castle. The concert was held in recognition of the great efforts the healthcare in Denmark provide to the benefit of the Danish population's health and wellbeing. Suit-dressed men and evening-dressed women form the healthcare attended a evening with classical music performed by students from the Academy of Music (Syddansk Musikkonservatorium) and the acting school (Skuespillerskolen). The concert followed by a dinner were hosted by Queen Margrethe and her husband Prince Henrik. Along with the Crown Prince Couple and Prince Joachim they enjoyed a evening together with representatives from healthcare in Denmark. After the concert they aloe attended the dinner which also took place at Fredensborg Castle, in Copenhagen, in the magnificent Kuppesal with the stunning white and black patterned floor. The attended representatives were sitting at round tables on golden chairs. Eaten from royal porcelain and green crystal glass. What a night! As you might know, the royal family always arrives after rank - Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary and last Prince Joachim and Princess Marie who did not participate at last nights dinner. The lightning wasn't that good, I'm sure it gave the perfect atmosphere with the almost non-exciting light, so no all pictures from the evening are pretty good. Kongethuset.dk has published a little video clip from when they royal family enter Kuppelsalen to attend the dinner and as I just told you the light isn't that good but still I think it's worth watching it. Watch it down below. I think there is something special when they enter a dinner like this, it's kinda magical. Am I right? As a royalist I'm sure you know the feeling.


Because of the lack of light when Frederik arrived to Fredensborg with his stunning wife I think she was looking even more beautiful -Queen of the night! I was so happy to see 'that' midnight blue skirt again after all these years. Do you remember the skirt? Well, it was also a long time ago really. We are back in 2006 when the Bulgarian President H.E Georgi Parvanov and his wife Mrs. Zorka Parvanov. A time when Mary dressed completely different than what we see her wear now a days. As the first time, she chose to wear the skirt with black clothes with the skirt in the center. Our eyes lays on the skirt and its dazzling sequin details and tulle underneath, sparkling in the light of the photographers camera light. At the arrival she wore a Prada coat such as pumps from the same designer and was carrying a black cardigan I assume till later. The satin clutch featuring pearl fringes is seen a several occasions before. A item we have seen not that long ago, to be more exact her blouse. I recognized it from when they were on the state visit in Australia about a month ago on the second day. Perfectly to show how to wear the same basic blouse twice at two very different occasions. I have not been able to identify who the designer is. That little extra 'thing' Mary always manage to mix into her outfit has to be the purple jewellery; ring and earrings. I think these to pieces are inherited or something like that. I do not know the exact story. So what do you think, is this outfit a winner or what? I really think it is.
