Danish Warmblood Stallion Licensing 2026

March 06, 2026

The Danish Warmblood Stallion licensing is one of the largest equestrian events in Northern Europe. This year it took place within the first week of March in Jyske Bank Boxen in Herning. The event gathered some of the world's best dressage riders and Queen Mary was there with some close friends to watch it all.

Princess Benedikte was suppose to have attended the event but cancelled her presence. Maybe the Queen unofficially replaced her? Nevertheless, she was present for the show and following licensing and she was awfully welldressed. I don't even know where to begin...

On March 6th, she arrived in Jyske Bank Boxen dressed in a smashing reused denim jumper! (I want one right now). Mary first wore the piece last year at another dressage event in May. This year, she matched it with a new short Great Stockholm jacket. Love how she wore the sleeves. So cool.

Mary accessorized jumpsuit with a brown leather and her beloved Ralph Lauren bag. Hope she will we wearing the shoes soon again because I'm curious to see more. Plenty of jewellery from both Rebekka Notkin, Cartier and Sophie Bille Brahe made the deal for me. And of course, the Thierry Lasry sunglasses.

The following day, Queen Mary spend yet another day in Jyske Bank Boxen with good friends to watch more of the Danish Warmblood Stallion licensing. I was a huge fan of her outfit worn yesterday. Thought nothing could beat it. I was wrong.

On the second day in Herning, she showed up wearing the most incredible outfit. My heart stopped for a second. Just look at that combo of colors, fabrics and prints. Gosh!

Mary styled a pair of simple light blue denim jeans with a new printed blouse from ME+EM and a reused knitted Allude vest. Even more perfect is the brown Max Mara jacket matched with the jeans and floral print. Once again, she wore the cool leopard boots, leather belt and Ralph Lauren bag. 

Pretty sure her earrings are Sophie Bille Brahe. Mary also repeated her choice of golden bracelets from Rebekka Notkin and beloved Cartier watch.

Dinner at Kronborg Castle

March 05, 2026

What a magical surrounding for a dinner! Kronborg Castle in Helsingør roomed a fine dinner for more than 300 invited guests with the King and Queen as guest of honor. The guests represented Denmarks honorary consuls. They were gathered on occasion of the Ministry of Foreign Affair's consular meeting.

I know it was "just a dinner" and not something big and fancy but I had expected a bit more of her outfit for this gathering - and the King too. I do like her outfit. The simple white Hugo Boss blouse and that chic reused skirt made a great look, but as a guest of honor... The skirt is still unidentified. It made its debut in 2019. She wasn't even wearing that many jewellery or any spectacular ones. A little colors - maybe a berry lipstick or bordeaux nails would have done it for me.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this one. Am I being too critical?

The Psychiatric Fundation 30th Anniversary

February 25, 2026

More than 20 years have pasted since the Queen first entered as patron for the Psychiatric Foundation. On February 25th, she attended the foundation's 30th anniversary at a wonderful celebration at Moltkes Palace in Copenhagen.

Queen Mary truly represented the foundation with style when attending the anniversary. She looked great in her reused navy blue Red Valentino embellished dress, Prada belt and bright yellow Manolo Blahnik pumps. Why am I alway this thrilled when she wears colored shoes? I also loved that little trick with a matching yellow satin YSL clutch. Even the Annikat earrings embraced a little yellow.

When given a speech on occasion of the anniversary, the Queen put on a pair of dusty rose glasses. I'm yet to identify them.

30 Danish artists participated a very special exhibition taking place as part of the anniversary. They had each created an original elephant sculpture - an artwork and subject to start a conversation.

Meeting with UNFPA

February 23, 2026

She has become indeed fond of suits the last 5ish years and for the meeting with Diene Keita - the new Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), she flashed a beloved navy blue The Fold London suit. Possibly styled with mashing heels.

The Queen met with the Executive Director at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg to discuss UNFPA's current work with (among others) "The 10 Million Safer Births Initiative". The project was launch in 2025 by the Queen herself in Nigeria.

The chemistry between the two women seemed to be more than splendid.

Lillebror Lotteriet's 100th Anniversary

21 February, 2026

When Queen Mary bought the first ticket of this year's Lillebror Lotteri, she continued a tradition that goes back to Queen Ingrid. They money raised from selling the lottery tickets goes to the Children's Aid Day. Queen Ingrid was patron of the Children's Aid Day for 52 years and in 2005 Queen Mary took over the patronages.

CEO of the Children's Aid Day, Sofie Hugo was accompanied by Caroline and Oskar when meeting the Queen at Frederik VIII's Palace. I adore that we were given the opportunity to a glimpse of this wonderful moment.

I love it even more because her outfit was this perfect. Her new floral embroidered Temperley London blouse has to be a new favorite of mine. The colors, the embroidery, the sleeves. I fancy everything about it. Looks so good with the grey JOSEPH trousers.

Happy Birthday!

February 05, 2026

The royal court celebrated Queen Mary's 54th birthday by releasing a new portrait of the Queen. It was taken a year ago by photographer Stine Heilmann for the Mary Foundation.

The Queen wore one of my favorite suits. It's set from Scanlan & Theodore. I always loved the dusty green color next to her dark brown hair. The rose colored blouse is still a mystery. A mystery I would like to solve but I haven't so far.

She accessorized the suit with exclusive pink diamond earrings from Hartmann's and a custom-made butterfly brooch - the Mary Foundation's logo.

The maintenance of Dannebrog

February 04, 2026

During winter, Dannebrog is docked at the Naval Station in Frederikshavn. Here the royal yacht is being maintained to be ready to yet another trip on the ocean.

King Frederik and Queen Mary then visited Dannebrog in Frederikhavn to follow the work on the yacht. The Queen looked great in her casual jeans and plum turtleneck. I imagine her wearing black boots. That would fit the outfit perfectly. 

The blue coat is a reuse from Uniqlo and tortoise-like glasses are Gucci. A wonderful look for the occasion. Relaxed and suitable for a private visit in Frederikshavn.

European Men's Handball Championchip Final

February 01, 2026

What other than a red and white outfit when cheering for the Danish team playing the European Handhall Championchip final? The game took place in Herning between Denmark and Germany. And what a game it was. Denmark won gold!

Maybe it was the Queen's new La Bagatelle blouse that made the difference? Nevertheless, her new blouse is indeed beautiful. I love when she wear bright colors. She styled the stunning blouse with simple black trousers and a matching red patent leather belt and handbag from Hugo Boss.

Shining in the spotlight were her golden earrings and ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry. I'm not sure about the heeled suede boots. Have we seen them before? Her chic glasses are loved ones from Gucci.

Day 2. Official State Visit to Lithuania

January 29, 2026

Queen Mary looked amazing in her long woolen skirt and soft bordeaux blouse when spending yet another day in Lithuania. She first wore the Max Mara skirt last year when visiting Latvia. Back then she also matched the beautiful skirt with the color of bordeaux. In Lithuania, Mary embraced the look wearing a brand new The Fold London blouse.

The Presidential Couple accompanied the King and Queen when they paid a vist at the Danish-Lithuanian business forum and later at the wreath-laying ceremony at Antakalnis Cemetery. At the cemetery, Mary stayed warm in a reused coat from Uniqlo and a beautiful green Harris Wharf London coat.

Later in the afternoon, the royal couple visited the NBA Basketball School in Vilnius. They joined a training session and for that Mary had changed to a lovely navy blue turtleneck and black Gianvito Rossi boots. Here we also got a better look at her diamond earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe and golden Dulong Fine Jewelry ring. It also showed the best of the brown Celine belt.

I'm sure you noticed her changing boots along they way. The soft light brown boots are old ones from Valentino. My all-time favorite boots of hers.

Official Opening of "Friends in Need"

What is not to like? Mary won my vote for best-dressed at the official opening of the "Friends in Need"-exhibition. They Presidential Couple joined the King and Queen at the opening at the National Library of Lithuania. The exhibition is in honor of the friendship between Denmark and Lithuania.

Mary wore the most beautiful white Andiata suit paired with a reused dusty pink blouse which (unfortunately) has never been identified. The combination of colors and materials are exquisite. The soft curly hairdo added an extra glimpse of glamour to her look. So did the smashing new Julie Sandlau earrings. I'm pretty sure she wore a ring as well but I'm not sure which one.

When the couple arrived at the National Library of Lithuania Mary (once again) wore her fine Harris Wharf London coat. She completed the outfit with stunning beige pointed Prada pumps.

Day 1. Official State Visit to Lithuania

January 28, 2026

Arrival in Vilnius

After a lovely last day in Estonia, King Frederik and Queen Mary flew directly to Lithuania to continue their travel. They landed in Vilnius Airport. The couple are spending two days in Lithuania.

Mary hadn't changed clothes from Estonia to Vilnius. She was still wearing her new grey tweed suit from The Fold London and her reused wool-blend coat from Harris Wharf London. Actually, I'm no big fan of grey but it looks kinda cool matched with green.

She kept warm with a knitted beanie, gloves and heeled black boots. The lovely bag is an iconic design by Ralph Lauren.

Welcoming Ceremony

King Frederik and Queen Mary have arrived in Vilnius, Estonia. President Gitanas Nausèda and his wife, First Lady Diana Nausèdienè welcomed the royal couple at the Presidential Palace.

Later on, the First Lady accompanied Queen Mary at a visit at the Ukrainian Center in Vilnius. The center is a social meeting place for Ukrainian families and children living in Lithuania.

Finally! This new stunning floral suit is everything I wished for. I truly missed her wearing anything but trousers. Then what's better than a floral printed skirt? I adore Mary's new Erdem set. Its silhouette is simply beautiful. Can't wait to see her wear it in the future.

Mary styled her florals with a reused headpiece created by Jane Taylor and fine white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Am I the only one who get that vintage-vibe? What is not to love! Even the Mulberry handbag added that sparkle of old-Hollywood.

I get it why she had chosen low-heeled boots because of the snowy weather but I'd loved to have seen the set with anything but boots - which by the way is from Gianvito Rossi.

State Banquet in Vilnius

President Gitanas Nausèda and First Lady Diana Nausèdienè hosted a magical state banquet at the Presidential Palace to welcomed the King and Queen to Estonia.

The list of invited guests were almost endless. I bet they had a wonderful evening.

Oh..! Mary looked absolutely splendid at the evening state banquet. Don't you think that new bordeaux Elie Saab gown is magnificent? I love everything about it. The slim silhouette, the one-side cape and thin belt. Missed evening gowns.

Not sure I've every really fallen for that antique tiara and matching earrings. Can't tell you why. Maybe because she had so many outstanding pieces of jewellery available and these pieces are a little too simple for an event like this... The the colours looks beautiful next to her fair skin and dark brown hair. We also get a glimpse of her custom-made Dulong Fine Jewelry ruby ring.

Both her Sergio Rossi patent leather box clutch and suede Gianvito Rossi pumps are both reused (and loved) pieces.

Day 2. Official State Visit to Estonia

January 28, 2026

King Frederik and Queen Mary spend their send and last day in Estonia by visiting the CR14 - a national cyber range. 

Then followed a return event hosted by the royal couple with the Presidential Couple guests of honor. The reception took place at the Town Hall at Old Market Square.

The couple were then off by plain to continue their official state visit in Lithuania.

I do like a good old suit but somehow I wish Mary would soon wear something else. She most often wear suits and has been for a couple of years now. I really miss her wearing a dress for everyday events.

The tweed suit worn on their second day in Estonia is a new one from The Fold London. Love that she embraced the style with that reused black leather belt from Celine. Looks good. Her dark green wool-blend coat is an old one from Harris Wharf London.

As accessorized, Mary had chosen beloved glasses from Gucci and diamond earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe. A closer look revealed her also wearing a fine golden ring from Rebekka Notkin.

She matched the black belt with heeled suede boots (possible new) and the most incredible Mulberry handbag. I adore this kind of handbag. 100% unpractical but 100% amazing.

Day 1. Official state visit to Estonia

January 27, 2026

You may have noticed my absence the last couple of months. Apologies. I'll try to catch up with everything that has happened since end of January.

On January 27th, the King and Queen arrived in Estonia to attend a two-days official state visit. The royal couple were officially welcomed in Tallinn by President of Estonia, Alar Karis and the First Lady, Sirje Karis at the City Hall Square. 

The Presidential Couple accompanied King Frederik and Queen Mary when paying their respect at the Monument to the War of Independence. They also visited the Memorial of the Victims of Communism.

Later on, the royal couple met with the Prime Minister of Estonia and Speaker of the Estonian Parliament.

I always loved a good old tweed fabric. The woven texture is one of my personal favourites. Mary's beautiful new dress is created by Danish tailor Lasse Spangenberg. The detailing are simply amazing. I don't even have to comment further. Have a look and admire the splendid work of his. Her fine coat is a reuse from Max Mara.

Her new headpiece is by Danish milliner Katrin Cecilia Jacobsen. On her social media she posted the headpiece in-the-making. What a treat! Turns out fabric from the dress is braided in with navy blue silk.

I'm sure you noticed the stunning sapphire and diamond brooch. It is called the vandflodsbrochen or the flood sapphire brooch. The brooch is part of the Danish Royal Property Trust and once belonged to Queen Marie Sophie Frederikke - wife of Frederik VI. It is dated back to around 1840.

Mary then accessorized her outfit with a chic brown leather handbag from Anya Hindmach. Her fine dark blue suede boots are new ones from Gianvito Rossi.

State Banquet in St. Nicholas Church

After a long day, the King and Queen were invited as guest of honor to attend a concert and state banquet in St. Nicholas Church. The events were hosted by the Presidential Couple.

This is exactly what I needed! Mary looked absolutely smashing at the evening events in her floor-length gown. It is told to be from Prada but I've never seen or read any evidence of that claim which is why I only share what I've heard. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful gown.

She matched it with huge diamond earrings purchased at an Bruun Rasmussen auction some years back. Don't know about you but I was thrilled to see her wedding tiara. Especially with her flowing soft curly hair.

Mary also embraced the style with a beloved old satin box clutch from Prada and fine matching pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

"Together without Violence - Pregnant"

January 20, 2026

Queen Mary visited Holbæk Hospital celebrating the expansion of the Mary Foundation project Together without Violence - Pregnant. The program is now also introduced to all of Region Sjælland.

Together with Violence - Pregnant aim to train more midwives and professionals in the healthcare system to systematically screen couple expecting a child for among others domestic violence.

The Queen also attended a roundtable meeting and joined a midwives' training day.

I do like her outfit from when she visited Holbæk Hospital: the fine grey JOSEPH trousers and her old navy blue Prada blouse, but I really miss her wearing dresses and skirts. The recent years, she has become fond of suits and trousers. Her chic coat is from Arma.

She gave a speech at the visit wearing her Gucci glasses. We haven't seen those black south sea pearl earrings for quite some time. They are crafted by talented jewellery designer Dulong Fine Jewelry. Her matching pearl bracelet is from the same designer. Meanwhile, the golden cuff is a Rebekka Notkin masterpiece.

Mary also embraced the look with a reused Prada belt and a beloved navy blue leather handbag from Prada. Her grey suede heeled boots have been quite a mystery but now they have been identified as Ralph Lauren.

"Young Friends of Nature"

January 16, 2026

Queen Mary visited Amager Nature Center to learn more about the project "Young Friends of Nature" - a project by SIND - the Danish Association for Mental Health. Queen Mary has been patron for SIND since 2004.

Chairwoman of SIND Mia Kristina Hansen, biologist and nature guide at the Danish Nature Agency Jes Aagaard and project manager of "Young Friends of Nature" Rikke Kristiansen all joined the Queen for a walk to discuss how strong a resource nature can be to young people's health and well-being.

I always loved how well Mary blend ind and switch from fine dresses to outdoor clothing's. Just yesterday, she accompanied Queen Margrethe at the reopening of the Court Theatre wearing high heels and diamond jewellery. Today, she jumped right into olive green Laksen trousers and a matching Laksen jacket.

Her Salomon boots were a clever choice for the occasions such as a knitted beanie and turtleneck jumper. She blended in like she was just. member of the group. No fancy clothes, flower girls or waving flags. Just a dedicated patron of mental health and well-being.

Two Queen's on duty. Queen Mary and Queen Margrethe accompanied each other for the reopening of the Court Theatre in Copenhagen. The theatre was first opened in 1767 which makes it the oldest working theatre in Denmark. It has been under renovation for the last five years.

I adore velvet! I love the combination of navy blue and red but somehow I wish the print was on satin. What was your first thought? Nevertheless, it is indeed a beautiful dress. It is a new addition of Saloni. Truly in love with the neckline. Queen Margrethe also looked stunning in her bright purple dress. She always as Queen.

She has been very fond of wearing old jewellery inherited from royal women. At the reopening, Mary stunned wearing earrings and a diamond brooch that once belonged to Princess Caroline. Look closer and you'll see a couple of Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen rings.

I really missed those blue satin pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Everything about them are perfect. The clutch is a custom-made Carlend Copenhagen creation.

"Inside the walls"

January 14, 2026

They play "Inside the Walls" by Henri Nathansens was first performed in 1912 on the Old Stage at The Royal Theatre. Since then it has been performed more than 500 times.

On Wednesday evening, Queen Mary was invited to watch the famous play. Actress Fridamarie B. Cauchi welcomed the Queen when she arrived to the repremiere.

Anyone other than me who adore her purple velvet suit? The fabric and color takes it to a completely other level. It is the first time she wears it with a black blouse. This one is new and from Prada. I actually really like the sheer black blouse with the suit.

Mary matched the embellished blouse with suede rivet pumps from Gianvito Rossi and a Ralph Lauren clutch. We hadn't seen the clutch for years when she wore it again on December 15th 2025. Many of you didn't know about. I was able to identify it quite a few years ago but all by accident.

The dusty rose diamond earrings and rather huge amethyst ring were a wonderful addition to the rest of her outfit.

Queen Mary was warmly welcomed by CEO Morten Ørsted-Rasmussen and Head of the Heart Association's health services Louise Svarre Jakobsen when visiting the Heart Association. The two of them introduced their patron to the associations new strategy to strengthen prevention. 

In relation, she also met with consultants from Hjertelinjen and the honor of meeting with three patients living with a heart defect. They shared their personal experiences with her.

The Queen has been patron for the Heart Association since 2005.

It is no secret that Mary has become very fond of suits the last 3 or 4 years. She wears them in many colors - black, white, blue and red. This green one from Massimo Dutti has become a personal favorite of hers. This time she matched it with a fine turtleneck jumper. Perfect for the cold weather we have in Denmark right now.

Mary chose to accessorize the suit with a green snakeskin belt. Did you know that is goes back to round 2009? I have never been able to identify it but maybe one day. The beautiful green emerald ring is crafted by Dulong Fine Jewelry such as the other two golden rings. I kinda like the combo of rings.

That black Bottega Veneta bag has always been one of her favorites since 2008. We haven't seen it much in a few years. Looked great with the black suede boots from Gianvito Rossi.

New Year Reception

- Christiansborg

January 06, 2026

King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted their final New Year Reception at Christiansborg in Copenhagen. They were driven in the Golden Coach from Amalienborg to Christiansborg. The coach was escorted by the Guard Hussar Regiment's Mounted Squadron.

The reception was hosted for Officers from the Defence and Danish Emergency Management Agency. Representative from the public sector, selected groups with noble and honorary titles, national organizations and royal patronages were also invited to the reception.

Seems like Mary is fond of golden outfits this New Year. For the reception at Christiansborg she had chosen a reused golden Teri Jon by Rickie Freemann gown. Mary first wore the gown for an official dinner in Katuaq, Greenland in 2024. Her fine white wool-blend coat is from JOSEPH.

She embraced the stunning gown with a number of exclusive pieces of jewellery. Like the diamond earrings. They once belonged to Anne of Orange. The beautiful brooch is actually Queen Louise's engagement bracelet. I am sure you noticed the incredible golden bracelet. It was an engagement present from King Frederik VIII to his future wife Queen Lovisa.

The fine clutch is a reuse as well but I have never been able to identify it. Her dusty rose suede pointed pumps are from Gianvito Rossi. What an outfit!

The first thing that came to me when I saw Mary in that new blue velvet suit was Queen Margrethe. She loved to wear a specific blue set when she used to host the New Year receptions. It also reminded me of her stunning midnight-blue gown worn in 2006 for the New Year's Eve Banquet. Her beautiful new suit is tailored by talented Jesper Høvring. The color looks good on her!

Mary embraced the smashing velvet with white pearl earrings belonging to the Danish Pearl Poiré Parure. The pearl ring matched perfectly. It is mastered by Dulong Fine Jewelry. I love that she chose a clutch is the same color as the rest of her outfit but I'm not sure the Quidam leather clutch was the right one. What do you think? A bit too plain for the occasion.

I am not able to identify her shoes from the photos I have seen. Looks like a simple pair of round-toed suede pumps worn with thick black tights.

Mary's golden gown was just as magical as the banquet! The gown is a creation by Jesper Høvring. It goes back to 2016 and was first worn on a new portrait of her by photographer Marco Grob. Since then, the gown has been altered a number of times. It was first altered in 2022 in honor of Queen Margrethe's 50th anniversary as Queen of Denmark. Then again in 2024 and now for the banquet. I'm curious to hear which one you favor. The beautiful lace-work is tailored by Lasse Spangenberg.

Her shiny tiara is the altered rose-cut diamond necklace belonging to Queen Lovisa. Mary had it created into this stunning tiara in 2024. It hadn't been worn for more than 100 years when Mary brought back its shine. The stunning diamond earrings are pear-shaped pendants from the Danish Crown Diamond Parure paired with studs inherited from Queen Juliane Marie.

She accessorized the beautiful evening outfit with a reused Judith Leiber clutch and satin pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

Mary first wore the coat when visiting Holstebro to celebrate the city's 750th anniversary in 2024. We even had a glimpse of what she was wearing underneath. Turns out to be her Oscar de la Renta dress. It is the same dress that she wore on Christmas Eve in 2021.

The elegant white pearl earrings are rather new ones from Dulong Fine Jewelry but she already worn a number of times. Her black Mulberry handbag was a great addition to the classy outfit. The Prada boots we haven't seen in quite awhile. I love that she bring back all these old accessories.

Mary accessorized the outfit with matching reused heeled boots. I have never been able to identify them. Maybe one day.

Her fine black leather handbag is the same worn as the previous day. It is from Mulberry. Looks great with the black leather gloves. The diamond earrings are from Sophie Bille Brahe.
