Day 1. Summer tour with Dannebrog

Frederikshavn


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.

Opening of "Bharti Kher - Mythologies"


August 22, 2025

Queen Mary was warmly welcomed by the Director of Thorvaldsen's Museum Annette Johansen and the artist herself: Bharti Kher. The Queen was present at the opening of the new exhibition "Bharti Kher - Mythologies".

The exhibition is so far the biggest at Thorvaldsen's Museum. It presents 27 sculptures as a dialogue to the classic arts created by Bertel Thorvaldsen.

Bharti Kher acted as the Queen's private tourguide when wondering around the exhibition. Especially the massive sculpture "The Intermediary Family" caught her attention.

I know there are divided opinions about Mary's new suit but I adore it! The soft black print and a white background = thumbs up. The silhouette looks magnificent and the detailing are exquisite. Imagine the trousers worn with a colorful blazer or bright blouse. Can't wait to see how she will style this suit in the future.

Mary embraced the suit with stunning golden diamond studded earrings and a colorful bracelet. Both pieces are from the talented designer Dulong Fine Jewelry. The earrings go way back. Her other bangle is a creation by Rebekka Notkin. I am sure you noticed her fine necklaces. The short one is Louise Grønlykke and the longer one is Julie Sandlau.

I am still to identify her new black leather sandals. Any ideas?

"Søren Vester's Garden - Biodiversity and Castle Gardens"


20 August, 2025

"Never have I ever imagined that I would participate in a documentary about gardens". Queen Mary is participating a new documentary about biodiverse gardens. She shares her fascination of wild garden with Søren Vester. He is a famous well-known Danish host of a tv show focuses on gardens and nature.

Søren Vester is given a tour around the private garden at Fredensborg presented by the Queen herself.

The documentary is broadcasted on Danish television of August 20th at 8pm local time. You also find the episode on DRtv.

Queen Mary share own personal experiences with nature and what it gives her paying attention to the nature around her. How it makes space for her to think and reflect about life. How nature do not expect something of her.

I watched the documentary. It is a short but heartwarming and honest interview.



I have no words about how much I adore Mary's outfit in the new DR documentary! That new embroidered SEA blouse combined with those caramel colored linen shorts are simply wonderful. I love everything about it. Casual but differently worth a tv program.

Mary matched her new blouse and shorts with a beloved diamond necklace from Louise Grønlykke. The pendant is significantly beautiful. So is the Rebekka Notkin bangle and colorful Dulong Fine Jewelry bracelet. I spotted a diamond ring from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and her Oura health tracker ring.

I learned that her new braided flats are from Michel Vivien. At first I was not quite sure about the color. Think it made her a bit pale but the more I study them the more I love them.

I'm crazy to hear your thoughts!

I really like how casual Mary was dressed at the opening at Amager. Love the beautiful blue/white striped linen suit from Polo Ralph Lauren. Mary first wore the set at the inauguration of Jetsmark School Center in 2023. She also wore it at Crown Prince Christian's graduation ceremony in 2024. She matched it was a simple white top.

Mary styled her rather soft outfit with golden pieces of jewellery. Like the beloved Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and a fine custom-made ring from the same designer. The colorful beaded bracelet is a design by Dulong Fine Jewelry. It is the second time we see her with this stunning piece of jewellery. The diamond studded necklace is from Louise Grønlykke. Mary's golden diamond bangle is Rebekka Notkin.

She also embraced the look with a reused brown leather belt from BOSS and marvelous heeled sandals from Gianvito Rossi.
