Day 1. Official visit to Nigeria
June 24, 2025
"The 10 Million Safer Births Initiative"
Queen Mary paid an official visit to Nigeria from June 24 to 25th. She was accompanied by the Danish Minister of Education and Research, Christina Egelund. The visit is based on the Danish Government's "Africa Strategy" and focused on the Danish-Nigerian cooperation in both culture, healthcare and business.
The Queen and Christina Egelund were jointed by, among others, the Nigerian Minister of Women's Affairs Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim at "The 10 Million Safer Births Initiative"-event taking place at the Maitama District Hospital in Abuja.
I simply love when Mary is wearing colors - especially colorful and printed dresses. This is why I adore the La DoubleJ dress so much. She first wore it when visiting Fiji in 2023. Back then she wore it with nude python pumps but this time, Mary had chosen brown mules from Malone Souliers to match the dress. I kinda like that.
A closer look reveal her wearing beautiful golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a custom-made golden ring. Also mastered by Dulong Fine Jewelry. Love how her soft brown curly hair matched the shoes in color. Has her hair been dyed more light brown?

A day in Abuja
Later that day Minister of Education and Research Christina Egelund accompanied Queen Mary when attending a meeting with Nigeria's President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the First Lady Oluremi Tinubu. The meeting took place at State House - the Presidential Villa.
The two of them then visited the Danish ambassador's residence in Nigeria followed by a visit at MeCaht Crisis Center - a center for young women who have been exposed to human trafficking.
Her choice in clothes is outstanding! So far we have seen everything I adore: colors and prints. When meeting the Nigerian President and First Lady at the State House she changed to a bright red blouse from Jesper Høvring and a stunning floral printed Paul & Joe skirt. The pleating's are wonderful. Love how "light" this outfit looks.
Mary embraced the style with simple python pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Think it is her most beloved pair of shoes.
Her beautiful white South Sea pearl earrings goes way back in time. They are created by Danish Dulong Fine Jewelry. So is her custom-made golden ring. Mary's necklace is rather new. It has been identified as a Louise Grønlykke design.

Reception at The Nordic Abuja
Queen Mary and Christian Egelund, Minister of Education and Research attended a reception at The Nordic Abuja in the evening after a long day in Abuja. She gave a speech on occasion of the reception.
I never been a huge fan of this dress. Think it is the silhouette that doesn't really attracts me. Mary first wore it at a business promotion visit in Sweden in 2017. Back then she also accessorized it with a black leather belt from Isabel Marant. I like the fact that she re-wore an outfit with a few other pieces of accessories.
Her beautiful curly hair was embellished with a new hair comb from talented Ellen Hunter. I really like how she matched white pearl earrings from Annikat with this specific hair comb and amazing pearl ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry.
Still haven't decided whether or not I like (or dislike) this model of shoes from Malone Souliers. What is your opinion? Mary wore brand new ones in black. The design is a collaboration between Malone Souliers and Philosophy (by Alberta Ferretti).
