The celebration of Prince Charles

Wednesday, November 14th

First a visit to New York back in September, here, here, here. Then a three days promotion visit to Rome with her husband, here, here, here. And now London. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary were invited to celebrate Prince Charles' 70 birthday at Buckingham Palace in London.  It was Queen Elizabeth who hosted the big birthday party for her son on his birthday.

Numerous royals were invited: Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex, Prince Albert of Monaco, Queen Rania of Jordan, King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway and the list goes on.




I have not been able to find that many pictures from the birthday celebration. Actually I only found two. Not much to tell what Mary was wearing, though I am able to tell something. Arriving to Buckingham Palace in London Mary flashed a new pair of earrings. Rather large ones. It looks like a mix and match of 'Lotus' and 'Winter Frost' from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, here, here. Seems like I was right about the thing with Winter Frost. Charlotte Lynggaard confirms that herself, here. I also see her golden Cartier bangle and a diamond piece.

That was really all I had to go on at first. Then the royal family shared a photo of the Crown Prince Couple on Instagram and Facebook at the dinner. Crown Prince Frederik looked handsome in a classy blue and white outfit with a little bow tie. Next to him, Mary stunned in a brand new one-shoulder velvet gown from Jesper Høvring (collection: Autumn/Winter 2017). I knew about the designer. I just wanted it confirmed before sharing it with the rest of you. Polyvore Ready shares a picture of the model, here. Her gown features a matching belt with a golden detail - of course matched by her jewellery. I can't really say anything about the colour. It could be either black, dark green or blue. Personally I would say some kind of blue. Do you see a specific colour?

She embraced the outfit with a stunning makeup and a simple half updo. Really wanted to see if she wore a clutch and which shoes she had chosen to wear. But I doubt we get to see any more pictures.

Royal hunting in Gibskov

Tuesday, November 13th

The Crown Prince Couple had just arrived home from a three days official visit to Italy. The couple went of a business promotion trip along with 36 Danish companies in the capital of Italy, here, here, here. The following day both Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary stayed at Fredensborg Castle to attend a royal hunt in Gribskov. What had been hunted down during the day was showed off in the evening. That's where the Crown Prince couple showed up. Also Queen Margrethe attended the little ceremony. Queen Margrethe then hosted a prestiges dinner at Fredensborg Castle to celebrate the hunt. According to the royal family, the event itself was hosted by Crown Prince Frederik.




Staying outside in the evening this time a year in Denmark really takes a warm and cosy outfit. That is exactly what Mary did. When leaving their home at Amalienborg to go to Fredensborg Castle, she was dressed in a brand new tartan skirt and a black turtleneck. The new skirt is still bothering me. I don't even know where to begin. Does it remind you of a specific designer or have you seen anything similar? Somehow it reminds me of an old Prada dress. She kept warm in a new cape featuring golden buttons. Heaven managed to identify it as Stenströms. Apparently Princess Sofia of Sweden has the same one, here. Looks great how she belted the new cape. At the time Mary also flashed what I strongly believe is a quilted flap bag from Chanel. She embraced the outfit with black Prada boots and diamond jewellery from among others, Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

 When the couple showed up at the ceremony at Fredensborg Castle later in the evening; Mary had changed a few things. Now she was wearing her wonderful Burberry coat and a bordeaux turtleneck blouse. Even the gloves matched her look with such perfection.

Photo exhibition #Childmothers

Monday, November 12th

From Rome in Italy, to Aarhus in Denmark. The Crown Prince Couple has just arrived home from a three days business visit in Italy, here, here, here. On Monday the Crown Princess traveled to Aarhus to attend the opening of a photo exhibition called '#Childmothers' and the launch of the State of World Population Rapport. Both events took place at DOKK1 in Aarhus.

Despite the cold weather she was warmly welcomed by students from Ellekærskolen and Frederiksbjerg School. Also Minister of Development Corporations, Ulla Tørnæs attended the event, along with representatives from UNFPA's Nordic office, the United Nations and a Councilman.

The exhibition is part of a bigger project. Previous exhibitions and a book by the same name are also part of the '#Childmothers' project. The Crown Princess shared a few words of her own in the book, in the preface. This exhibition shows portraits of girls living in among others Burkina Faso, Jordan and Haiti. Every single one of them became a mother in age between 12 and 15. Several speeches were given on stage. Crown Princess Mary gave her own speech.



As much as I have found out about the event, as little do I know about her clothes. Mary showed up in Aarhus wearing a brand new coat. It looks like tweed in both green, blue and purple. Difficult to tell what specific colour it is. Her new coat reminds me of something YDE Copenhagen would make. But I still do not know a thing about where it is from. Does it remind you of anything? She matched the new coat with a black turtleneck blouse and trousers in the same colour. Very flattering.

Mary embraced the style with a pair of black pumps or pointed boots. I have a hard time figuring out whether she is wearing pumps or boots. Could be both actually. Then I see diamond earrings and her golden bangle from Cartier; maybe even a diamond ring. Beautiful pieces of jewellery. And then that belt again. Kinda annoy me that I cannot find out where it is from. A very simple piece of accessory, but it work with both trousers and skirts, as well as dresses. In general, a great outfit for this time a year. Something you would wear?

Day 3. Business promotion visit in Italy

Thursday, November 8th

-In the Vatikan-
For two days the Crown Prince Couple has visited Rome in Italy as head of a business delegation of 36 Daniel companies. The visit began on November 6th and this is the last day before leaving Rome. As first thing in the morning the couple had very extraordinary visit - they were invited to meet at His Holiness Pope Frans in the Vatican. The three of them had a private room before press were allowed. As part of the public audience gifts were exchanged. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary handed over a vase made by Royal Copenhagen and a book about the renovation of Frederik VIIIs Palace - among other things.




Mary wore a black outfit when visiting the Pope, along the significant black lace vail that goes as part of the traditional dress code. The outfit Mary wore during the visit has been seen before back in February - as a complete outfit, here. Nothing was identified at the time. Now it has been suggested that her blouse goes way back; back to at least 2015. Three years ago at the Crown Prince Couple's Prizes she is told to wear the same blouse, here. What do you think? Could this be right? I can't really tell for sure.

She accessorized her black outfit with reused earrings, an old diamond brooch and matching rings from among others Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. The amazing clutch is a new one from Carlend Copenhagen and her pumps are from Gianvito Rossi in black leather. I can't point a finger on anything really.

-Hospital Bambino Gesu-
After the audiens at His Holiness Pope Frans, Crown Prince Frederik visited the Trevi Fountain and Aqueduct Acqua Vergine as part of a visit with focus on 'Urban & Cleantech'. Later on he joined his wife and they both visited the children's hospital Hospital Bambino Gesu in Rome. It was really a wonderful sight. Especially Crown Princess Mary seemed to enjoy it quite a lot and the children simply loved her attention. The couple were warmly greeted. They had plenty of time to some of the patients at the hospital. What a wonderful way to end three great days in Italy.




There is only one outfit left to comment on. Earlier in the morning she was litterarly dressed in black from top to toe. That is not the case later on. When visiting the children's hospital in Rome along with her handsome husband Mary was dressed in a brand new floral printed dress. I learned from Heaven that this new dress is from Julie Fagerholt Heartmade. Beautiful, right? Noticed the sleeves and neckline. Stunning details.

Mary embraced the style with several golden jewellery and a pair of reused Valentino pumps. Amazing how a pair of pumps can transform and complete and outfit. She matched her Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings with a couple of bracelets from the same designer and one from Cartier. I also see a few diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. The third silver ring featuring diamonds as well, has never been identified. At least I don't know anything about it, but Mary is very fund of this combo of rings.

She topped the outfit of with a lovely hairstyle. Think it makes her look younger. Gives her a fresh touch. I am really not disappointed by anything we have seen during this Italy visit. I wold love to have seen a little more colours. But I got way more updos than I had imagined. Anything you liked in particular?
