Day 2. Official visit to Kenya

December 12, 2025

The Dandora landfill

Queen Mary started her second day in Nairobi by visiting Dandora - the biggest landfill in the country. Denmark wish to contribute to a better and more circular waste management. Today, both humans and animals are to be found at the landfill.

For her visit at the Dandora landfill she showed up wearing a matching Columbia blouse and belted trousers and rubber boots. The necklace is from Orit Elhanati.

Official events

Queen Mary also took part in several different official events during the day. She both met with the President of Kenya, Dr. Wiliam Samoei Ruto at the UN headquarters and attended a high-level event with the United Nations Environment Assembly. The Queen gave the opening speech.

When meeting the President of Kenya, Mary changed to wear a fine dotted Prada dress. It is a reuse first seen in Paris in 2021. This time she matched it with beige python pumps from Gianvito Rossi. About now, they have traveled the world and seen Nigeria, Belgium, Japan and now Kenya. A clever choice to wear her beige Prada handbag. Great combo, right?

Mary embraced the look with white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a couple of golden bracelets from the same designer. Her diamond studded bracelet is an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen creation. The massive gold one is Rebekka Notkin.

Reception

TEKST

Queen Mary took part in an official reception hosted by the Danish Embassy in Kenya.

What a dreamy outfit Mary wore at the evening reception at the Danish Embassy! The stunning blouse is a design by Jesper Høvring. I kinda like the combo of the colors. The skirt is a reused - I guess it could be tailored, but I still don't know where it is from.

Mary matched the outfit with an old bronze clutch from Mulberry. I was thrilled to see her wear an old goodie like this. I'm even more amazed to see the peep-toe pumps from Christian Louboutin. I really missed these pieces. We haven't seen them in years.

Another piece I'm almost shocked to see is the custom-made necklace from Ali Al Awssi. Mary first wore this necklace in 2004! Her diamond studded bracelet is Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and the earrings are from Louise Grønlykke. Seem like she had them altered. I like the shorter version.

Day 1. UN Climate Conference 'COP30'

November 11, 2025

Field visit

Queen Mary has traveled to Brazil on official business attending UN's Climate Conference 'COP30'. The city of Belém will host the two-days conference.

The Queen first attended a field visit in the area around Belém. The Amazon faces many challenges, which is why she visited the production site Ilha do Combu along with researchers and various organizations to highlight the importance of our rainforests. The First Lady of the state of Pará, Daniela Lima Barbalho accompanied the Queen at the cocoa production site. 

The Queen also had the opportunity to see examples of agriculture and gastronomy during her visit.

She was one big smile when visiting the cocoa production site Ilha do Combu in Belém. That makes a rather plain outfit sunny and warm. Mary was dressed in a pair of new black trousers from Columbia and a chic dusty brown linen blouse. Not quite sure the blouse has been identified yet. Nor if she has worn it before. The braided leather belt was a great detail!

Mary stayed casual by wearing reused Ray Ban sunglasses but no outfit without a few pieces of jewellery. The stunning diamond necklace is a favorite from Louise Grønlykke and the golden bracelets are from talented Dulong Fine Jewelry. Her hiking boots are old ones from Salomon.

Official welcoming

Queen Mary was officially welcomed at the Hangar in Belém, where COP30 takes place these days. She had the honor of visiting the exhibition of COP30 as well.

The Danish business delegation traveling alongside the Queen also had the opportunity to meet Queen Mary herself. After some time at the Danish Pavilion she attended a reception on occasion of the conference.

I love the bold colors of this outfit! The beautiful green Stella McCartney blouse was everything I needed to complete the day. And just look at that magnificent printed FARM Rio skirt. Even the length is perfect. Mary first wore the blouse when visiting Ethiopia in 2019. Back then she matched it with another printed skirt from Max Mara.

Mary styled her outfit with simple black heeled sandals from Gianvito Rossi. She has a matching pair in brown leather. She had chosen fine golden earrings and a couple of bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry. The massive golden bangle is a creation by Rebekka Notkin and the diamond necklace is Louise Grønlykke.

Day 1. Official visit to Brazil

02 October 2024

A visit at the Amazon region

Queen Mary will be on official vist to Brazil from October 2-5th along with Danish Minister of Climate, Energy and Supply Lars Aagaard. The visit is to focus on the Danish-Brazilian cooperation on biodiversity, combating violence against women and health. She will be staying in Manaus the first two days of her visit.

When first arriving on October 2nd, the Queen joined a boatride on the Amazon river. The ride was guided to informe her about the regions challenges and possible solutions to combat environmental crime. Denmark has previously supported the Amazon Foundation, which fight against these environmental crimes and to promote a sustainable development for the rainforest.

Later on, the Queen visited reserve of Adolpho Ducke followed by a visit at MUSA - the Amazon Museum, which is located inside the Adolpho Ducke reserve. She got a close glimpse of the rainforest from the museum's 42 meters high tower.

What we have all been waiting for: Mary has arrived in Brazil where she will be staying next four days. When sailing the Amazon river and later visiting MUSA - the Amazon Museum, she looked great in a practical outfit. She matched a brand new Columbia button-down with Deerhunter trousers and a brown leather belt.

The Arc'Teryx boots were a perfect choice for a visit at the Amazon river - and the surrounding rain forest. Mary has worn the boots quite a few times about now. Also with a certain grace. In the same dark blue color, she added Gucci sunglasses to the outfit.

Her fine diamond earrings are creations by Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen such as the fine ring. In a way, her husband joined her on her travel because of the Halberstadt necklace.

Official welcoming

In the evening, Queen Mary was officially welcomed by the Gouverner of Amazon Wilson Lima. 

As part of the welcoming ceremony she was invited to attend a performance at at Teatro Amazonas - a teatre and opera house in the center of Manaus. The performance presented the the cultural history of the Amazon region.

I am nothing less than IMPRESSED! Lost my breath for a moment. Just look at that outfit. Sight! I am in love with every single part of her outfit from the welcoming at Teatro Amazonas. Mary was seen wearing a stunning bright Jesper Høvring blouse and a chick green maxi skirt. She first wore the skirt on August 21st when hosting a reception on board Dannebrog docked in Assens. I has yet to be found. Any ideas?

She styled the outfit with large golden earrings - a traditional Portuguese jewellery. This is the seventh time she wears them. First time was when attending a dinner on occasion of the Copenhagen Fashion Summit in 2014. A lovely match with the Halberstadt necklace, golden Aquazzura sandals and brand new yellow satin clutch from Prada. I am in LOVE.
