Rare Diseases Day 2024


29 February 2024

Queen Mary is patron of Rare Diseases whom created the Rare Diseases Day. In 2009, she presented the very first Rare Diseases Award. It has been followed by another presentation in 2016.

The Rare Diseases Award is given to people, institutions or organizations who have made an extraordinary effort for people affected by a rare disease.

This year, Queen Mary handed over the award to young educator at Rigshospitalet Jakob Højer Larsen and Chairman of the Angelman Association Jane Villemoes. Congratulations to both of them.

Later on, she was given to opportunity to meet with representatives from Rare Diseases member associations and paint her own stripe on a zebra to mark the importance of diversity.



Why does she keep inspiring me? Because of her choice of color schemes. Mary has always been really good at this. Matching colors. Also the colors you wouldn't normally choose to wear together. I love that!

No surprise that her favorite color is purple. It suits her beautifully. But wearing it with grey it simply outstanding. Do you like this color combo? She has worn both shirt and skirt before but I have never been able to identify nor the shirt or skirt. Any ideas? The grey wool shawl looks new to me.

Mary embraced a stunning outfit with diamond earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe. Not a personal favorite but Mary love wearing them. She does that with such style. Both ring and bracelet are creations by Dulong Fine Jewelry. Custom-made with black South Sea pearls.

Take a closer look at her golden brooch. Did you know that it was given to Mary back in 2008 and is designed by Marie von Lotzbeck for Rare Diseases? Today, it is crafted by Camilla Urban. Wish we would wear brooches more often.

Mary first wore the light grey suede boots in 2021 when attending the International Day of the Girl Child. Gianvito Rossi was always in my search range but only now that model has been found.
