Meeting with UNCHR


16 May 2024

The Queen just arrived home from Oslo. They couple participated a two-days official state visit in Norway. 

On May 16th, she hosted a meeting with the High Commissioner of UNHCR Filippo Grandi to a chat about UN's challenging work to protect the lives and rights of refugees. Also the effort to improve the conditions of women and girls in humanitarian crises and the importance of climate change for vulnerable local communities.



We have seen so many amazing outfits the last month. First, their visit to Sweden and then to Norway. When meeting with Filippo Grandi, the High Commissioner of UNHCR she had chosen one of her Apiece Apart dressed. Always loved the color and the print. I adored her outfit in 2018, when celebrating her husbands 50th birthday.

At the meeting, she styled her outfit with Gucci tortoise-like glasses and jewellery from Dulong Fine Jewelry, Halberstadt, Julie Sandlau and Rebekka Notkin. Her golden bangles are still a nightmare.

Day 3. Visiting Vanuatu, Fiji and Australia


25 April, 2023

The Crown Princess and Dan Jørgensen (Minister for Development Cooperation and Global Climate Policy) arrived a day earlier in Suva - Fiji's capital.

In the morning, they were official welcomed with a traditional Fijian welcoming ceremony. Natalia Kanem accompanied the two of them. She is the executive director of the United Nations Population Fund UNFPA. The Crown Princess is patron for UNFPA and has been committed to their work for quite some years now.

Later on, she, Dan Jørgensen and Natalia Kanem met with Fiji's President Ratu Wiliame Maivalili Katonivere. He welcomed all of them with great pleasure.



What a dress! UFO No More (here) identified Mary's brand new sunflower printed dress as La DoubleJ. A before seen designer in her wardrobe. I am a huge fan of this dress. That yellow colour looks amazing on her. Maybe the perfect summer-dress-inspiration?

She embraced the outfit with beautiful golden earrings and a custom-made ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry. They created many of her most beloved pieces of jewellery. She reused the two Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau necklaces, such as the dazzling Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond bangle.

The beige python pumps from Gianvito Rossi made a super cool statement with the rest of her ceremonial outfit.

VISITING NABAVATU

After the traditional welcoming ceremony and meeting the President, Crown Princess May visited the tent village at Nabavatu located on Fiji's second largest island Vanua Levu.

The village holds room for those who lost their homes due to a cyclone that hit Fiji in 2020.

Visiting Nabavatu was also the perfect opportunity to focus on the consequences of climate change and UNFPA's work to ensure sexual and reproductive health and rights for girls and women in humanitarian crises.



Mary changed to something a bit more comfortable, when going to Nabavatu. She styled a simple soft blue button-down shirt with a reused Apiece Apart midi skirt. A beautiful outfit for the occasion. A really wonderful change.

Even though her clothes were simple, her choices of accessories weren't. Mary embraced the look with jewelries from both Dulong Fine Jewelry, Halberstadt, Julie Sandlau and Ole Lynggaard. I am very fund of her wearing the sames pieces more than once on this trip. Shows how little you have to pack for many days.

Mary is known for wearing sneakers for all sorts of events. She made a win again with those soft pink NIKE trainers.

RECEPTION AND DINNER

In the evening, the Crown Princess was ones again accompanied by the Danish Minister for Development Cooperation and Global Climate Policy and  Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund UNFPA for a reception and following dinner.

The gathering were hosted by Fiji's President and Prime Minister of Suva.

Somehow, I have completely fallen in love with what Mary wore at the reception and dinner. Usually, I do not like these pale colour. Neither for myself or on Mary. But this outfit got me. I surrender. Her new dress is from Hennes & Mauritz's Conscious Exclusive collection. She altered it a bit. Gave it a waistband. I really like this little change. The silver cardigan looks new as well.

Her Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau necklaces were accompanied by another stunning brown necklace. She has worn it before, but I have never been able to identify it. We also get a glimpse of a number of bracelets from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, Rebekka Notkin and Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Her raffia clutch has also been seen before, such as the brown leather heeled sandals from Gianvito Rossi.

Day 1. ICPD+25 High Level Commission meeting in Zanzibar

09 November 2022

Crown Princess Mary arrived in Tanzania, Zanzibar on November 9th to attend ICPD+15 High Level Commission's meeting. It is a two days visit.

ICPD+25 are a high level commission working to improve girls and women's rights. Something, Crown Princess Mary also has been committed to for quiet some years now. She has previously participated events with the high level commission.

On her first day, she visited a reproductive health clinic. They work with a 'zero maternity mortality". In other words: the clinic work on a daily basis to prevent and avoid maternal mortality under difficult conditions. Visiting the reproductive health clinic, Crown Princess Mary was given a tour around the facilities. She also met with some of the clinic's staff. They happily shared all the clinic's good results.

Later, the Crown Princess visited one of Zanzibar's old district called Stone Town. CUBE Innovation Hub I located in Stone Town. They had the pleasure of meeting the Danish Crown Princess. CUBE Innovation Hub gives a helping hand to startup and smaller companies across Tanzania and Zanzibar. All to reach their dreams and goals. 

During the visit, Crown Princess Mary met young entrepreneurs, who gladly told her about their visions, hopes and dreams to develop innovative technology and find solutions to help solved challenges for girls and women's sexual and reproductive health and rights. 

Kongehuset ● Frederik et MaryUFO No More



On her first day in Zanzibar, Mary had chosen to wear a really lovely and casual outfit. I am a huge fan of all these casual outfits she has been wearing lately. When visiting the reproductive health clinic and meeting with CUBE Innovation Hub, Mary wore a simple white button-down blouse with a reused darker green skirt from Apiece Apart. An old goodie. What is not to like?

You do not have to look that closely, maybe only twice, to see that she was wearing a brand new initial necklace. Could the small 'F' necklace be her way of bringing her husband to Zanzibar with her? I kinda like the idea. I have not been able to identify its origin yet, but I hope I will. These "letter" necklaces have been quit fashionable lately. Is it time to have our own? She also wore two other golden necklaces. The one is from Dulong Fine Jewelry and the longest one is still a mystery to me.

Mary also embraced the look with three bracelets. All of them are designed and crafted by Dulong Fine Jewelry. A brand that has followed her since the time she became Crown Princess of Denmark.

Keeping her hair in place with a green Kknekki hairtie.

It took me some time before I realized that Mary had chosen to wear her golden leather flats from Anonymous Copenhagen. But she did. A lovely choice.

Day 2. Visit to Burkina Faso

29 October


Meeting the President of Burkina Faso

So, we just found out that Crown Princess Mary and Minister of Development Flemming Møller Mortensen have been on a two-days visit to Burkina Faso. In a troubled state like Burkina Faso, many girls and women have to pay the price and compromise their health, rights and opportunities. All because they live with poverty, a changing climate and much uncertainty.

On her second day in Burkina Faso, she first met with President Roch Marc Christian Kaboré. The meeting took place in the President Palace in Burkina Faso's capital, Ouagadougo. I am sure the President was able to give the Crown Princess a clear view of the situation in both Ouagadougo and Kaya as the Crown Princess visited the day before (here).

Kongehuset 



Meeting with the President of Burkina Faso from the morning, Mary had chosen a lovely outfit. She matched a simple white Hugo Boss blouse with a stunning floral printed midi skirt. The skirt has not yet been identified. I look forward to the day I happens.

She embraced the style with golden Orit Elhanati earrings, a nude reused clutch and what looks like new brown suede Gianvito Rossi Pumps. Truly a magnificent outfit for such a meeting.

During the day

After meeting President Roch Marc Christian Kaboré in the Presidential Palace, she and her traveling partner Flemming Møller Mortensen paid a visit to a local girls club not that far from Ouagadougou. Girls from the girl club, shared their stories and experience with child marriages, violence and  circumcision with the Crown Princess. The girls club act as a closed forum for the girls to talk, get legal advice and psychological support.

Crown Princess Mary enjoyed lunch with representatives from a youth panel. This youth panel is by initiative by the Danish Embassy in Burkina Faso. It provides the embassy a view and guidance of how to implement Denmark's help in the state.

After having lunch, the Crown Princess visited the counseling center ABBEF-centre. ABBEF has a wide range of competent health professionals, who offers their help and knowledge about both contraception, HIV/AIDS and sexual and reproductive health in genereal.

After her visit at the Presidential Palace, Mary made quick change in clothes to an exotic printed button-down and her beloved green Apiece Apart midi skirt. Such a comfortable and down-on-earth-look. 

She accessorized the outfit with earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry, a bracelet from the same designer and an Orit Elhanti necklace. The second golden bracelet is Cartier.

Wish I would be able to wear these golden sandals from Anonymous Copenhagen, but my feet would never cooperate with me. It looks like Mary makes it work perfectly.

Reception at the Danish Embassy

It had already been a long day for both the Crown Princess and the Minister of Development Flemming Møller Mortensen, but they had one more event to attend: an evening reception hosted by the Danish Ambassador in Burkina Fasp Steen Sonne Andersen.

At the reception, Crown Princess Mary had obviously been asked to make a speech and she did. She was then to meet a number of those partners Denmark collaborate with in Burkina Faso.

In the evening, she had changed clothes one more time. One final time before her visit was about the end and she was headed back home to Copenhagen. I learned from UFO No More that Mary was wearing a new green printed Hennes & Mauritz dress matched with a new leather belt from Isabel Marant.

As other accessories, she had chosen large golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a matching Orit Elhanati necklace. We also get a glimpse of a rather large ring. That is also from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

To me, it looks like Mary embraced the outfit with a new black (embroidered?) clutch as well and brand new peep-toe sandals from Givenchy. Thanks to UFO No More we know about these fascinating heeled sandals.

New thornback rays in Kattegatcentret

 19th August

Some of us still enjoy you vacation and some are back at school and work again. Crown Princess Mary is one of those who are back at work. She started her workdays with a visit at Kattegatcentret in Grenaa - an aquarium with more than 250 different sea animals. Her visit was as newly President of the WWF Wold Wild Fund for Nature. She introduced her new title in Grenaa by welcoming five new thornback rays.


The weather was splendid, when she arrived to Kattegatcentret. So was her mood. The Crown Princess smiles, laughed and had a wonderful time in Grenaa. Looks like she really enjoyed being back at work; meeting people again. Those who showed up at Kattegatcentret were indeed thrilled and excited to get a glimpse of the Crown Princess.


Before she welcomed the little thornback rays and introduced them to their new home a speech was given. A great was to mark such a special day for both Kattegatcentret and the Crown Princess - who did a great job on her first official visit after her vacation and as new President of WWF World Wild Fund for Nature.


Crown Princess Mary also made a great example of embracing a new (temporary) Danish law that tell us to cover our mouth and nose in public transportation such as busses and trains from August 22nd, by posting a couple of pictures from her trip to Grenaa, here

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about her latest outfit in Grenaa. I adored how she matched reused and new pictures of clothed with reused and new pieces of accessories. That brand new white button-down shirt (featuring printed animals and flowers) and her Apiece Apart midi-skirt looked stunning and very relaxed at the same time. Mary looked really comfortable, didn’t she? So far, no-one including myself, have not been able to identify her white shirt. I both see lions, parrots, giraffes and small flowers in different colors. Any ideas? The skirt has only been worn a more private and casual occasions. This is the first time she wears it at a more public event. And we like it, right?


She embraced the style by wearing chic new espadrille wedges as well. They do not look that comfortable, but often wedges heels are more supportive on your foot and easier to wear all day. Kate was able to find them at Sandália. Do you like these kinda shoes? Or are they too “clumsy”? I think Mary wear them beautifully. Gives her a summer vibe that I like very much.


No bag needed for this event, but instead we have a lot of amazing jewellery to look at - and adore! First thing noticed has to be her new golden earrings. Already identified as Dulong Fine Jewelry. One of their latest collections. Cannot wait to see how she style them the next time. Also from Dulong Fine Jewelry she wore a couple of golden bracelets. Among others, a new one made of all kinds of different colored beads. Very playful and a lovely match to the rest of her outfit. I also see her Cartier bangle and two golden rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. For those who like to know: her hairpiece looks like those from Kknekki.

European Championships in dressage

19 August

Crown Princess Mary was on a private mission when she arrived to Rotterdam in the Netherlands (probably) earlier this week. She had traveled to the Netherlands to support the Danish teams participating the European Championships in dressage - also know as the Longines FEI European Championships. 

When staying in Rotterdam she met with, among others, Helle Krasnik Trolle who shared a photo of the Crown Princess in a barn with rider Cathrine Dufour and one of the winning horses. Because the Danish team actually did qualify to compete next year in the Olympics in Tokyo. 

She was also spotted later on closely following the Danish teams participating the championship. Also Princess Nathalie attended the exiting days in the Netherlands. She herself has been one of those top riders. Now she work as coach for the dressage team.


When she was first spotted in Rotterdam with rider Cathrine Dufour and her horse, the Crown Princess was dressed in simple black fitted jeans, a white shirt, a bluish blazer with a rather interesting pocket from SANDRO and what looks like light brown suede shoes. Heaven identified her new blazer. With glasses keeping her hair from falling gown into her eyes Mary looked all comfortable and chic. Am I the only one who noticed how long her hair has grown? Wish my hair reached that length, but not quite yet.

The following day Mary looked super hot in a casual button-down shirt, a pullover and a reused black skirt from Apiece Apart. I absolutely love this combo. Instead of the "traditional" black fitted trousers most of us would wear with that top Mary dazzled in a midi skirt. Clever. She topped off the outfit with Ray Ban sunglasses, a Tod's leather handbag and brand new Nike sneakers. Nor shades or tote are new, but the sneakers are. Heaven managed to identify the model, here. I am going to try this outfit myself - that is for sure.

On vacation in Gråsten

Sunday, July 15th

Like most other families, the Crown Prince family enjoy the Danish summer. The royal couple and all four children are stying at Gråsten castle in Gråsten for their holiday. We haven't really heard anything from them the last month. The story goes that they family has enjoyed their vacation in Gråsten and still is.

Today the Crown Prince couple with children attended the Gråsten Ringrider Association's annual parade near Gråsten castle. It is a tradition that goes back to the time, when King Frederik 9th and Queen Ingrid received Gråsten castle as wedding gift in 1935. Around 300 riders and more than 100 children on bikes take part in the parade in front of the castle. Last year the Crown Prince couple, their children and Queen Margrethe greeted all participants. This year the Crown Prince family welcomed the 300 riders and more than 100 children on bikes with handshakes, smiles and warm greetings. Little Grace also joined the festivities. The weather was splendid such as all six royal family members. I was so pleased to see all of them again.

Great weather, takes great outfits. That's exactly what we saw at the ceremony in Gråsten. All three boys were dressed in shorts and shirts, while the three girls embraced summer chic outfits. A palette of white, blue and green. Seems like especially Princess Isabella has already managed to capture her mothers sense of style. Mary dazzled in an reused Athé by Vanessa Bruno blouse featuring beautiful lace work. It was first worn in 2016 during the Olympics, here. She even wore it last year while visiting the exact same even, here here. This time she was wearing the blouse with a brand new midi skirt from Apiece Apart. Heaven is the one who identified the new skirt. Mary then embraced the style by wearing earrings and a couple of from Dulong Fine Jewelery. The combo of golden earrings and green pendants have been seen before. Among others in 2013 at the annual photo call at Gråsten, here, at a movie premiere in 2012, here and during a visit in Mexico, here. Always loved the combo of gold and green. What jewellery would you wear to an outfit like this? Maybe a long necklace or tassel earrings. The sunglasses are from Ray Ban and worn at, among others, the confirmation for Countess Ingrid, here. By request I've been able to confirm that she is in fact wearing Ray Ban's and now I know about the model. You find about the model below. Last but not least, Mary looked magnificent wearing ballet flats from Chloé. These was first seen during an official visit to Japan in 2017, here. A really beautiful and chic summer outfit.

The Crown Prince visited the DR City in Copenhagen to participated in the recording of a radioprogram called Crown Prince Frederik at P4 (which is a Danish radio station). He was interview by Alex Nyborg Madsen and Anders Agger about music from the 60's to today. The Crown Prince shared some of his personal favourite records and related stories. It was broadcasted on May 20th.

A brand new documentary called My Way was broadcasted on TV2 in Danish television Sunday evening. A TV crew has followed the Crown Prince family for a couple of years, showing the Crown Prince and his family at official event and on more private occasions. From my personal point of view, this is indeed a remarkable portrait of His Royal Highness. Even the filming techniques are outstanding. I sincerely hope you had the chance to watch the documentary or at least some of these few clips published, here.

Early Monday morning the Crown Prince share the first of many pictures from him participating Royal Run, herehereherehere. The event took place in five different Danish cities (Aalborg, Aarhus, Esbjerg, Odense, Copenhagen) across the country. And what a massive support the event had from more than 70,000 Danes participating the run. It was simply impressive. The Crown Prince expressed how sincere he was for the support. He was also supported by his wife, who also happen to run 10 km in Odense, here. The Crown Princess and their four children joined a mile run in Copenhagen before she went to Odense, here.

They day was all about celebrating the Crown Prince. Among other places, they visited Njord Gin and Film City Aarhushere. The Crown Princess dazzled wearing an old Temperley London lace dress with a pair of nude Prada pumps and matching Naledi Copenhagen clutch. Think her new Susanne Juul fascinator amazed most of us. She embraced the style of her new hairpiece with earrings from the Ruby Parure, an Orit Elhanati necklace and Cartier bracelet.

On their way home from Aarhus, a picture was taken of the couple on board Dannebrog, here. To me it shows a happy couple enjoying themselves. I'm not quite sure why they are all dressed up, but nevertheless the Crown Prince looks smashing in his black uniform next to the Crown Princess in her floral dream from Giambattista Valli, here, white trousers and beautiful Annikat earrings, here.
