Day 2. Official visit to the Faroe Islands

August, Friday 24th

- Arrival -
The arrival to Tórshavn on the Faroe Islands was a huge succes. Crown Prince Frederik and his wife Crown Princess Mary were warmly welcomed arriving to the islands along with all four children. In Tórshavn (and surrounding areas) the family enjoyed the day by visiting among others the Government buildings in Tinganes, a women's house and spending the evening in Nordens Hus. A wonderful day, here.

The following day it was time to visit Klaksvïk, Ósalund, Fugloy and Mikladal. The family arrived by the royal yacht Dannebrog around 9 o'clock. Mayor, Jógvan Skorheim and his wife Mrs Mígdis Skorheim welcomed the couple arriving to Klaksvík. It was a warmhearted and sincere welcoming. Time was also for greetings, handshakes and lots of smiles. Both the Crown Prince couple and all four children spend much time meeting the attendances. What a sight. We rarely see the whole family gathered like this. Makes me proud to have a royal family like this with prince's and princess' who make an "down on earth" appearance just as their parents. Guess that is why this particular family is loved so much by all of us.

And the family seems to enjoy it as much as the rest of us. They were one big smile all day long. Both when visiting Biskupstorg to see 3D plans for a new building project, Ósalund and a nearly 100 years old money institute.

When arriving to Klaksvïk Friday morning Mary was dressed, once again, in her personal national costume. It was given to her as a present from Faroe Islands National Assembly and Legislation, when she first visited the Faroe Islands in 2005 - we haven't seen it since. Mary's national costume comes with an apron and scarf og dark green wool featuring a Marguerite pattern. It is matched with a knitted sweater featuring snowflakes, coloured red and black. Her costume is also detailed with silver pieces which are designed specially for her. Mary was not the only one wearing her traditional costume. The rest of the family did too. Each costume has its own story to be read here.

On the second day on the Faroe Islands she embraced the style with a half updo, earrings from Hartmann's, diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, an Orit Elhanati necklace and a reused hairpiece. Did you noticed it? I still really want to get some pictures showing details from her outfit. That is not easy to find. We get a glimpse of her hairstyle in videos shared online. It is her old piece from PICO. This was first worn at the presentation of 'Crown Princess Mary's Scholarship' earlier this year, here. Not sure I would wear it myself but she makes it work perfectly. We could also take a lesson from the two princesses - Princess Isabella and Princess Josephine embraced the most amazing hairstyles as their mother.

- Visiting Fugloy & Mikladal -
On Friday the Crown Prince couple and their children also visited the island Fugloy and Mikladal as part of their official visit to the Faroe Islands. Arriving to Fugloy the family was kindly welcomed by mayor, Amalia í Frammistovu who also hosted a lunch for the family. In Fugloy the royal family went for a walk to see the incredible nature the islands have to offer.

Indeed it is a pleasure to see the family all together. Prince Christian seems to get along with the attention very well. He is having fun with his siblings and leading the way. Even Prince Vincent seem to feel much better in public. Princess Isabella and littler sister Princess Josephine stay close and enjoy the visit a bit more in silence. A least that is what I see.

Arriving to Mikladal on the island Kalsoy, the royal family was welcomed by Mayor, Jógvan Skorheim and Mrs Vígdas Skorheim - the same who welcomed the couple earlier in Klaksvík. They were about to visit a very special statue in Mikladal called 'Sælkvinden' (the Seal Woman).

All this and much more took place in the hours spend in Klaksvík, Fugloy and Mikladal till the visit ended around 4:00 pm. in the afternoon.



Time for other more practical clothes - and warm I guess. The whole family had changed from colourful national costumes to brownish outdoors clothes. The children matched each others perfectly. Crown Prince Frederik kept warm in a more greenish outfits, while Mary was wrapped up in a checkered bottom-down shirt, a grey woolen sweater found at Ralph Lauren (collection: POLO Ralph Lauren), a quilted vest and a jacket. It is all about keeping warm. Trousers and boots from Salomon made the job as well.

Though it is a visit transmitted all over the world we only have very few quality pictures of her outfit. Kate managed to see a logo on her jacket and identified it as Härkila. I found that the trousers are also from Härkila. Don't think we have seen either bottom-down shirt or the grey sweater before. The hat we have, as well as the cuff warmers (actually I have no idea what they are called in English. Correct me if I am wrong). These was worn at the Hubertus Hunt in Dyrehaven last year, here. Not much else to say; she also wore a pair of diamond earrings which could be Hartmann's.

Day 1. Official visit to the Faroe Islands

August, Thursday 23rd

Now it is time for what we all have been waiting for for a really long time. Think it was a couple of months ago that the news about the Crown Prince couple and children were going on an official visit to the Faroe Island was announced. Little is better than an official visit.

Than on Thursday 23rd the royal couple and their children arrived to Tórshavn on board Dannebrog. While visiting the islands they are also staying at the royal yacht. At the arrival all six royals were warmly welcomed by the Prime Minister, Aksel V. Johannesen who also gave a speech on this very special occasion. Hundreds of people had also arrived to the harbor getting a glimpse of the royals. Greetings were exchanged countlessly in Tórshavn.

During their first day on the Faroe Islands the program was packed from arrival to late evening. Among other things the Crown Prince family visited Government buildings in Tinganes were the official welcoming took place. Along with his father Prince Christians visited the educational institution Glasir. Meanwhile the Crown Princess visited the daycare Býlingshúsið undir Fjalli. In the afternoon Prince Christian joined his parents visiting Lagtinget. Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine were all seen at the arrival in a happy spirit.

Many pictures and videos have been published of the family. The Danish royal house has also shared pictures of them, here.

Usually we get to see Mary wear the most incredible and outstanding outfits while she's on official visits. So is her handsome husband. This time things are a bit different because the couple and their four children arrived wearing each their national costume from the Faroe Islands. Each costume has its own story:

 The Crown Prince received his red, blue and green costume as a gift from Faroe Islands Governance and Lagting back in the days. Crown Princess Mary received hers back in 2005 at her first official visit to the islands, here. Its silver pieces are specially designed to the Crown Princess. On occasion of the children also visiting the Faroe Islands; each child were given their very own national costume. Prince Christian's suit is a gift from Tórshavn municipality, while Princess Isabella's costume is from Sunda municipality. The national costume worn by Prince Vincent is a gift from Runavik municipality and Princess Josephine's is from Klaksík municipality. All the costumes goes with a longer story which can be found, here.

 Mary embraced the style of her national costume by wearing stunning Hartmann's earrings, a Dulong Fine Jewelry- and Cartier bracelet and diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Her hair was beautifully created in an updo seldom seen lately.

- Dinner -
It had already been a long day when the Crown Prince couple arrived to Nordens Hus for dinner - and dancing. The dinner was hosted by Prime Minister, Aksel V. Johannesen. Earlier in the morning he was the one welcoming the couple with an exquisite speech. Along with his wife Mrs Katrin D. Apol, he welcomed the royal couple arriving to Nordens Hus. From everything I see both Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary were in a splendid mood beginning of the evening.

Pictures from the dinner show an entertained Crown Prince couple. During the dinner Crown Prince Frederik also gave a remarkable speech which seemed to make his wife very proud. A dinner was not the only thing the couple attended that night. They also participated a dance - hand in hand with everybody else. Sining and dancing was a joyful part of the program. A video has been posted down below. Everything seems so relaxed, right?




Not much had changed from since the arrival in Tórshavn earlier in the morning. Still it is worth commenting. At the dinner Mary had her hair down and only in a half-updo. This she had embraced with two silver pieces which I think we have seen at a couple of previously occasions. She has similar ones in golden as well. She then wore large floral diamond earrings which was also worn when attending 'the Who Award' in 2017, here. At the time they were identified as being purchased on auction at Bruun Ramussen.

Actually she had just created an entirely new outfit with different accessories. That also goes with the shoes she had chosen to wear. Heaven and her sharp eyes noticed a new pair of ankle strap pumps. She managed to identify them as Chloé. I am sure they are both comfortable to wear all evening and to dance in. Heaven also shared her thoughts with me about a new clutch. Unfortunately I have not been able to verify this idea. Although I think she could be right from what I have seen so far. To all photographers and medias; please share a few more close-ups with us. That would be great. Think many of us would also like to see details from the national costumes. That is simply not possible with what we have got so far.

Meeting with 'SDG High Level Advisory Board'

August, Wednesday 22nd

On Wednesday the Crown Princess particip the very first meeting with 'SDG High Level Advisory Board'. The meeting had been organized by Dansk Industri in collaboration with Global Company Network Denmark and Industriens Fond. According to the Danish royal house, the meeting aimed to create dialogue and exchange on the topic 'Sustainable Business Development'.

The Crown Princess participated the advisory board meeting (and other activities) by invitation as committed to the global agenda on development and innovation.

Not much has been published about the meeting, nor it is an official event in her calendar. I guess she took part of the meeting shortly before leaving Denmark to visit the Faroe Islands along with the rest of her family. From what has been posted on the royal family's Facebook and Instagram, I think we see a delighted Crown Princess - in the middle of everything.


Participating a meeting in a scale like this takes a well-chosen outfit. Once again Mary hit bullseye. She dazzled in a brand new printed dress. I learned from Heaven that the new dress Mary wore at the meeting is from Michael Michael Kors. Laura is the one who managed to identify it. Great job, right? I would really like to get a closer look but it is a bit difficult with only one picture published.

At first I though she was wearing some kind of long necklace. Looking closer I realized that it is part of the dress. Take a look at the link below and then I am sure you will see the very same. To me it looks like she could be wearing earrings as well. On this distance it is indeed difficult for me to decide about the shoes - are they a reuse or brand new? Personally I believe they could be reuse from years ago. I have a specific pair of shoes in mind worn in 2007, here. I know; it is a crazy guess. Still  I think it is a qualified suggestions. Those worn more than 10 years ago are from Pura Lpez. Unfortunately I was not able to find them sold anywhere online anymore.

Overall this is an incredible outfit - but casual and sophisticated at the same time. Imagine the dress with a pair of nude pumps and an updo for something a bit more official. I hope we get to see her wear this beautiful dress (and shoes) soon again for us to get a better look at it.

Tivoli's 175th anniversary

Wednesday, August 15th

For almost a week the Crown Princess has been back a work after a long holiday with her family. Earlier on August 15th she met with CEO of the Mary Foundation, Helle Østergaard, here. The two of them had a meeting about 'the Free of Bullying'-suitcases.

In the evening she attended a 175th anniversary. It is on occasion of Tivoli is celebrating its 175th birthday that both Crown Princess Mary and Princess Benedikte attended as guests or honor. The anniversary was celebrated with a gala premiere of 'New York City Ballet' performance in Tivoli's Concert Hall. Both women arrived in a splendid mood to enjoy a wonderful evening in Tivoli. I do not know if any of you have had the chance to visit Tivoli in Copenhagen, but it is a really magnificent experience. I have had the chance myself a couple of times. The atmosphere is remarkable. Sadly I have never visited the place while royals were too. Maybe that will happen one day.

With a huge smile on their faces at the arrival, I believe the two of them had a great time in Tivoli that evening. From everything I see, read and hear it was a wonderful performance taking place in the concert hall.



Two beautiful women, wearing two (very different but) beautiful evening dresses. Princess Benedikte embrace the style by wearing a green and blue evening gown. It features a lovely neckline and empire-cute. She matched the dress with blue heels and white pearls.

Mary, on the other hand, had chosen to wear a brand new burgundy maxi dress. This new wonder features embellished mirrors and studs. I had several different designers in mind while trying to identify its designer. Heaven helped me and found Mary's new dress at Tory Burch (collection: Fall RTW 2015). She wore it a bit differently than the model from Tory Burch's fashion show - because she wore the scarf as belt. Dianna Agron did the same in 2015, here. Its colour makes everything good next to her porcelain skin and dark brown hair - don't you think?

Plenty of jewellery accessorized her outfit the evening in Tivoli. Mary embraced the style by wearing pink and yellow earrings from Annikat, a golden Orit Elhanati necklace as well as her golden Cartier bangle featuring diamonds. We also get a glimpse of two diamonds rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Furthermore I see a couple more bracelets, but blurry pictures makes it a hard time for me to identify them. Does any of you manage to find quality close-ups?

Somehow I think we have seen that shawl before in 2013 while visiting Morocco, here. By the way, the two colours makes a great match. Powder pink and burgundy - clever. Mary also wore a little red leather clutch from Sergio Rossi. Left we have to talk about shoes. I imagine she could be wearing an old pair of silver sandals as worn here. We have seen the sandals on several occasions and I think it is likely that these are the one she is wearing at the concert. Please, let me know what you think - also about her look in general. I am stunned by (almost) everything I see.
