Visiting Kræftværket

Tuesday, December 5th

On Tuesday the Crown Princess visited Kræftværket, here, at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen. Kræftværket offer room for young people between 15-29, who is in treatment for cancer at Rigshospitalet, here & here. Here they can meet with peers in the same situation as themselves, join activities which is adapted to their age and enjoy the company of others. During the visit, which was not part of her official calendar, she took plenty of time talking to each and everyone. With great sympathy she listened to everything she was told. The Crown Princess also got a chance to talk to young ambassadors and other volunteers from Kræftværket.

Though it was an unofficial visit, we have quite many pictures. These show that Mary was wearing a reused black Hugo Boss coat at the arrival, matching slim trousers and a brand new bright red blouse. Heaven quickly identified the new blouse as Iris & Ink. This designer also crossed my mind but Heaven got it way before I did. Actually the blouse is a cashmere sweater featuring the most lovely sleeves. Unfortunately, non of the pictures show which pair of shoes she had chosen to wear. But I got a glimpse of her old leather bag from Bottega Veneta. Big enough to carry anything and everything. I always loved its shaped and braided textures. A few years ago I received my very own Veneta wallet as a gift from a dear friend. I have used it every day since.

It was on occasion of the celebration of the 500 anniversary of the reformation that the Crown Prince couple attended a church service in Vor Frue church. The exact same church were the couple got married in 2004. I bet it is always a very special feeling for both of them to visit the church. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary were in a splendid mood, when they arrived. The service took place around noon. Representatives from both the Protestant and the Catholic church attended the church service on this very special day. Not everyday we get the chance to celebrate a 500 anniversary. As part of the service, the representatives created a entry parade.

The weather is cold, rainy and windy these days so I completely understand why she has chosen a long wool coat for this occasions. Nothing else would suit as perfectly. Mary has worn the grey coat on several other occasions but I have never managed to identify it. Underneath it looks like she was wearing a navy blue or black fitted dress, matching the rest of the accessories because of the colour. Because she embraced the style by wearing her blue Quidam clutch and a reused hat. You thought it was new? -well, it is not. The hat goes back to 2011 when she attended the naming of a new ship taking place in Kalundborg, here. Personally, I loved her outfit back then a bit more then this time. Other than a hat and clutch, she also wore a fine little brooch and sky high pumps from Prada. Think I see a pair of diamond earrings as well. Wish I was able to get a close look at her outfit, especially the dress. Can't think of any old dress she could be wearing. But I doubt she'd be wearing a brand new dress for the event. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I am sure many of you have plenty of traditions you can't live without during December and around Christmas eve. So does the Crown Prince family. One of them is the first sunday of advent. Here the  Crown Prince family decorate their several meters height Christmas three. This year we were allowed to closely follow the tradition because of video posted on the royal family's Facebook. Later, a picture taken by the Crown Princess was posted on Instagram. I have really come to love these posts very much. A few years ago, it wasn't even possible for us to dream that one day we would see something this private. Quite often we get to see from inside the walls of Amalienborg because, especially, the Crown Princess share her pictures with us.

In my family it is a tradition to decorate the tree on December 23rd; the day before we celebrate Christmas in Denmark. Do you have any traditions when it comes to decorating the Christmas tree? Anything that simply just has to be there? For me it is the candles. 

Theater premire in Copenhagen

Wednesday, November 22nd

First of all, note that this event was taking place about two weeks ago. I first learned about her participating of the event yesterday, here. On November 22nd the Crown Princess attended the premiere of a play called Liva at Folketeateret in Copenhagen. At the arrival she was welcomed by chairman of the board Uffe Ellemann-Jensen and his wife, here.

I know a bit more about what she was wearing. Or at least most of it. Mary embraced a chic winter style by wearing a black turtleneck, matching trousers and her beloved white Prada coat. Think she's wearing the same, unidentified, black pointed boots as when she and Frederik visited Museum Jorn on November 25th, here. She added leather gloves, her old Bottega Veneta handbag, diamond earrings and a reused necklace from Piaget to her evening outfit.
