Day 4.
Official visit to Greenland
02 July 2024
A day in Sisimiut
The royal family have now arrived in Sisimiut - the vestcost of Greenland. They were warmly welcomed by the citizens of Sisimiut.
King Frederik and Queen Mary were both dressed in their Greenlandic national costumes. The Queen was gifted the costumes on her first visit to Greenland in 2004. It comes with boots and a little handbag.
The four of them then visited Sisimiut Museum which included a guided tour around the museum. Prince Vincent joined his father for a visit at 'Hundebyen' (probably best translated to 'the dog city'). In Hundebyen they produce local sustainable dogsfood.
Meanwhile, Queen Mary paid a visit to the Pissassarfik - a disability center in Sisimiut. They also attended a reception at the Culture House Taseralik and were given a tour around Sisimiut, such as a visit at KTI Tech College Greenland.
Both King Frederik and Queen Mary looked absolutely wonderful in their Greenlandic national costumes! The colors of Mary's commutes are exquisite. Love how she made it stand for itself. No fancy hairstyle. No fancy jewellery. Just a simple half-updo and delicate unpolished rubies.
She was gifted the earrings in 2004, when the couple first visited Greenland. Mary's first trip to Greenland. I do not know for sure, but my best guess is that the earrings were part of the gift (the national costume) such as the little handbag.
The fine diamond ring is a reuse from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Mary is often fond of wearing the single diamond band when not wearing too many jewellery for an event.

Kaffemik in Sisimiut
Around afternoon, King Frederik and Queen Mary already enjoyed a wonderful day in Sisimiut. They then attended a traditional 'kaffemik' - a kinda of 'afternoon tea', at Sisimiut sports hall. The perfect opportunity for people to get real close to the royal couple. It was truly a remarkable sight! The photos speaks for themselves.
The two of them also watched performances from some of Sisimiut's associations.
When attending kaffemik, Mary had changed clothes. She was wearing a reused Arma vest in a lovely dust color. She matched it was a while turtleneck (!!), black trousers and her Uniqlo down-coat. I like what I see.
Took quite a few photos to gather informations about her complete outfit. Get all the details. We get a glimpse of her wearing unidentified sunglasses and her brown leather crossbody bag from Chloe. Also seen a couple of days ago. She kept on the stunning diamond ring from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and was gifted a beautiful necklace. Worn right away. I also see a Dulong Fine Jewelry bracelet and of course that new golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings.
Looks like Mary was wearing simple black boots. No ID yet.

Reception on Dannebrog
In the evening, King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted their first event. A reception on board Dannebrog. King Frederik handed over Ridderkorset (the Knight's Cross) to the specially invited guests.
We really do not have many photos are informations about the reception, but I guess they had a great evening. Maybe a little drink to starters and then a fine dinner later on. Looking at Mary's outfit, I feel the reception was pretty informal. She wore a reused printed Zimmermann blouse and black JOSEPH trousers. Somehow, I like it better worn with white trousers as when she presented the 'National Teaching Award' in 2023.
Mary embraced the outfit with elegant white pearl earrings custom-made by Dulong Fine Jewelry and what looks like her golden bangle from Rebekka Notkin.
