A day in Nuuk
The royal family has already spend five days in Greenland and now the four of them have arrived in Nuuk. They were warmly welcomed when arriving with Dannebrog. The official welcoming was at the City Hall. Later, followed a guided tour at Nuuk's new school Atuarfik Inussuk.
Before visiting Nuuk's new airport, King Frederik and Queen Mary attended lunch with Naalakkersuisut - the Greenlandic Government and the Presidency of Inatsisartut.
Once again, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine accompanied their parents.
Mary looked so elegant in her Greenlandic national costume. The colors are so vivid. I adore the combination of materials and colors. The fact that it is handmade makes it even more impressive. Mary was gifted the costume on her first official visit in Greenland in 2004.
On occasion of her 50th birthday, her costume was exhibited at Koldinghus in Kolding as part of the exhibition 'Mary and the Crown Princesses'. I visited the exhibition and the costume is even more beautiful in reality. Did you know that the costume also comes with a clutch and a matching brooch to the earrings?
She also wore the matching handbag, shoes and fine earrings. Such as a diamond ring from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

Nuuk's new airport
After a quick change of clothes, the four of them visited Nuuk's new airport. They were given a guided tour around the facilities. Maybe one day, they will land an airplane in the new airport?
King Frederik and Queen Mary also visited a workshop. The craftsmen are currently working on a memorial stone in honor of polar explorer Arnarulunnguaq. She was the only female polar explorer participating the world-famous fifth Thule expedition in 1921-1924.
I have absolutely nothing bag to say about her daytime outfit. Love every single part of it. The color-combo is splendid. That soft pink Hugo Boss silk satin blouse, elegant grey JOSEPH trousers and a matching suede Ralph Lauren belt.
How often have you worn pink and grey? 10 points goes to Mary for this combo. She embraced the chic style by wearing a black midi wool-blend coat.
Mary had chosen the handbag matching her Greenlandic national costume. I LOVE THAT! What a gesture. The Rosequartz earrings are custom-made by Dulong Fine Jewelry. She has worn them on a number of occasions. My archive counts 58 events. Like in 2011, when the couple left Rigshospitalet with their newborn twins. Or presenting the 'Government's Integration Prize' in 2009.
The grey suede ankle boots are reused from Prada.

Official dinner at Katuaq
In the evening, King Frederik and Queen Mary attended Naalakkersuisut's official dinner at the Culture House Katuaq in Nuuk. The royal couple were invited as guests of honor.
The Chairman of Naalakkersuisut (the Greenlandic Government) Múte Bourup Egede welcomed the couple when they arrived to Katuaq.
King Frederik gave a speech at the evenings dinner:
"It is possible to fall in love with a people and a country?" - It is. I can confirm that. Greenland has a ver special meaning to my family and I. Queen Mary and I are therefor pleased to be here along with Prince Vincent Minik and Princess Josephine Ivalo."
Minik and Ivalo are the sibling's Greenlandic names.
Now we are talking. I am rarely disappointed with Mary's evening outfits but this one is simply exquisite! I learned from Royal Fashion Police that she wore a brand new Teri Jon by Rickie Freeman evening dress. The dress has been altered a bit. It got a smaller collar and a waist-band instead of a ribbon.
Do you like the alterations? - I am a huge fan.
Her stunning earrings and matching pendants are smashing creations by talented Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Mary wore the earrings in 2022 when attending an official dinner on occasion of King Willlem-Alexander and Queen Maxima's visit in Denmark. We also get a glimpse of a reused diamond bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry.
The fine snakeskin box clutch is a Judith Leiber design - one of Mary's absolute favorite evening clutches and (of course) her magnificent golden leather pumps from Manolo Blahnik.
