Day 1. Summer tour with Dannebrog
August 25, 2025
Arrival in Sæby
King Frederik and Queen Mary are once again on a summer tour around Denmark traveling with Dannebrog. Last year the couple visited Bornholm, Ærø, Assens and Vejle. This year they will be visiting Frederikhavn, Thisted, Læsø and Samsø. The tour will last from August 25th to 28th.
On Tuesday the King and Queen arrived in Sæby and was warmly welcomed by Mayor of Frederikshavn Karsten Thomsen. They were officially welcomed with a service in Sæby church. Then followed a visit at Sæby Glassblowing and a walk in the city of Sæby.
Around noon they enjoyed lunch at Skovhuset in Bangsboskoven. Skovhuset worked as home of the the forester's for about 250 years. Today it is a gathering place for teaching, meeting rooms and nature events.
I love the idea of a ruffle blouse, a plain midi skirt and a short jacket. Somehow I am not quite sure I think it worked out as intended. Personally I would have chosen another jacket with the skirt or another skirt for the jacket. What do you think?
Nevertheless, I am thrilled to see her wear the blue Prada jacket again. We haven't seen it since 2013 when Mary attended the CHIO Equestrian Festival in Düsseldorf. Imagine if she had worn it is a matching set when arriving in Sæby! She embraced it with a reused Athé Vanessa Bruno blouse and a unidentified dark blue midi skirt.
Mary styled the outfit with a beautiful Cara Couture hairband and a lovely raffia clutch. The brown Gianvito Rossi heeled sandals were a great choice to enhance the beauty of the other brown accessories. When having lunch at Skovhuset Mary switched to a pair of Prada flats. The sunglasses are from Ray Ban.
She wore white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry, a necklace by Louise Grønlykke and bracelets from both Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin. I am still very interested in learning about her three-part diamond ring. The watch is Cartier.

Visiting Råbjerg Mile
In the afternoon the couple changed clothes and went for a visit at Råbjerg Mile - a very unique sandy area located between Frederikshavn and Skagen. The sand is moving around 15 meters a year. The royal couple were given a guided round by the Junior Ragere which is an initiative by Frederikshavn municipality to educate young people in the age of 11-13 as junior nature guides.
They also paid a visit at Ancher's House and visited Grenen. Grenen is Denmark's northernmost point. It is where the two ocean's Kattegat and Skagerrak meet.
What is better than a good old casual outfit? I truly love Mary's casual looks. Like the one she wore when visiting Råbjerg Mile. She paired a pair of soft linen short with a simple white button-down blouse and dark knitted jumper. Non of the items have yet been identified.
Her accessories are Ray Ban sunglasses, a golden Cartier watch and chic NIKE sneakers. Mary chose the same jewellery as earlier that day: stunning white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry, a diamond necklace from Louise Grønlykke and bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin.

Reception at Dannebrog
After a long day the King and Queen hosted a reception at Dannebrog for invited guests from among others Frederikshavn municipality. Dannebrog was docked at Gl. Pier Skagen Harbour. It was a magical evening with fireworks and warm greetings from everyone in Frederikshavn municipality.
I am not sure I have words enough to describe how much I adore Mary's new Vilshenko dress! It is the most magnificent piece of clothes I have seen in a very long time. The colors are exquisite and the print is dazzling. Love how she matched the red floral print with brand new red earrings. Any ideas where they are from? She first wore them in 2012 at a private birthday celebration at Klampenborg and then again when visiting Chile in 2013.
Her other jewellery are bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin. Simple is everything because of the printed dress. Perfect as she is Mary matched the dress with red suede pumps from Gianvito Rossi.
