Business promotion visit in Milan


17 April, 2023

When Crown Princess Mary visited Milan on April 17th, it was as head of a business delegation of 17 Danish companies, Danish Industry, Creative Denmark and the Danish embassy. She was accompanied by Morten Bødskov the Danish Minister of Business.

The business promotion visit was with focus on Danish design solutions created by a proud tradition of craftsmanship. It was also the purpose of the exhibition "This is Denmark". Crown Princess Mary attended the opening of this exhibition to create awareness of Danish design and sustainability.

Later, she participated the roundtable meeting "New European Bauhaus Project - DESIRE, Designing the Irresistible Circular Society".

Before dinner time, Mary wore a really beautiful Designers Remix skirt and matching blouse from Jesper Høvring. Actually, the skirt was once a dress (here) but some years later, she had it altered from dress to skirt (here). It is made of 100% recycled polyester from plastic bottles. A clear statement pretty much forgotten in the discussion of a sustainable solution used by Danish companies.

Mary embraced her outfit with stunning white South sea freshwater pearls custom-made Dulong Fine Jewelry. This has to be her all-time favourite earrings. The two golden necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau have also become personal favourites lately.

She also styled the look with golden Cartier, Dulong Fine Jewelry and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen bracelets. The incredible diamond ring is a Rebekka Notkin creation.

Her smashing baby blue suede pumps are a classy design by Gianvito Rossi. I learned that Mary changed to a more comfortable pair of shoes during the day. To Chanel ballet flats.

DINNER

In the evening, the Crown Princess attended a dinner hosted by Creative Denmark. Representatives from Denmark and Italy also attended the dinner, which gave all of them a great opportunity to share some last few words.



In the evening, she showed up in an old reused Prada dress. First, I truly do not like her wear these long black blazers with everything. Especially, when wearing a longer dress like this. She first wore the dress on a trip to Thailand in 2008 (here). Not to forget, when she dazzled at INDEX: Award in 2013 (here). UFO No More (here) managed to identify her new black blazer as Harris Wharf London.

At the dinner, she matched the outfit with more or less the same pieces of jewellery. Necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. Bracelets from Cartier, Dulong Fine Jewelry and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

Usually, I like when she wears colour-matching clothes and accessories. Usually, she master the colours with perfection, but a the dinner I think the purple dress and purple suede Gianvito Rossi pumps are too different in colours. When wearing them in 2020, I think they matched her outfit much better (here).

Copenhagen Pride Week 2020

 22nd August

It was a big day for a small country like Denmark on August 22nd. Our future Queen spoke in advance of Copenhagen Pride Week Show.

Crown Princess Mary speech was given online due to the current circumstances. For around five and a halv minutes she spoke (in Danish) about, among other things, how proud she is to live in a country like Denmark. A country that embrace LGBTI-rights with pride. 

For this attitude towards LGBTI-rights, she receives a highly positive spirit from people around the world, who admire Denmark and the Danes because of their way of embracing diversity. 

She also admits that we still face some issues in relation to this way of living. Something we need to address and talk about.

The Crown Princess also has another role in this game. She has become patron for Copenhagen 2021 that takes place in 12-22nd of August next year in Copenhagen and Malmø. It is an internation event with a purpose to ensure equal rights for LBGTI+ people worldwide. We will look forward to follow her towards  the big event in 2021.



Dressed to impress. That is for sure. Mary is always perfectly dressed for any occasion she is attending. How many of us are able to say that? - not me. Once again, she strikes wearing a reused outfit, when giving her speech at the Copenhagen Pride Week 2020.

She embraced the style as future patron of Copenhagen 2021, by wearing an old white blouse featuring the most incredible and simple details. Just look at those buttons and that perfectly cut v-neck. It goes back to 2018, were we first say it at an event with DR's Girls Choir, here. At that time Jesper Høvring was mentioned as a possible designer. I guess because it looks awfully a lot like another one of his designs of hers. I was never able to confirm that suggestion. 

Mary had chosen to wear a white and black pleated Designers Remix skirt as well. A pieces of clothes worn at quite a few occasions by now. Among others at a Women Deliver conference in 2019, here.

We only get a few seconds of close-ups. That is just enough for me to say that she is indeed wearing two amazing bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry and another one from Cartier. Love how she matches all these golden bracelets. If you pay close attention to her right hand I am sure you will see her golden Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen ring. She even wears a little brooch - the Danish flag next to a rainbow flag. A beautiful outfit we will reminder, right?

Day 3. Business visit from Sweden

18 September

By now the Swedish Crown Princess Victoria and her husband, Prince Daniel are back home in Sweden. But before leaving they spend a little more time with the Danish Crown Prince Couple.

First thing in the morning the two couple's attended Swedish-Danish Business Forum at Danish Industry in Copenhagen. All four of them seemed to be in a wonderful mood. Also when they later visited House of Green the four enjoyed each others company. Before splitting up two and two, the two royal couples payed a visit to Tech BBQ 2019 - the biggest innovation and tech summit in Scandinavia, here.

In the afternoon Crown Prince Frederik joined Crown Princess Victoria. Together the two of them visited Amager Bakke which is a waste energy plant. Meanwhile, Crown Princess Mary enjoyed some time with Prince Daniel visiting Rigshospitalet. They were shown the hospitals new build facilities and building site of what is not finished yet.





Spending time with her husband and the Swedish royal couple Mary has already showed some incredible outfit. So did she on Wednesday. Mary had chosen to embraced the style by wearing a reused and altered skirt designed by Charlotte Eskildsen - designer for Designers Remix. Originally it is a dress made of sustainable materials, here. This time she wore the skirt with an old (really old) black zipper jacket from Max Mara. It goes all the way back to 2004, here. Do you remember the jacket? Loves how she matched the outfit with that Céline belt.

Though her outfit was quite simple, she wore some outstanding accessoires and a lot actually. First thing I noticed was the bright blue Gianvito Rossi pumps. Seems like Mary loved wearing colorful pumps at the moment. Like when she wore her new orange Prada pumps attending a reception with the RC69 - WHO Regional Committee for Europe, here. I absolutely love her wearing colors. Usually she does not change her shoes. But when visiting Rigshospitalet with Prince Daniel she had changed from Gianvito Rossi to nude Christian Louboutin's.

Also her jewellery featured amazing colors. The earrings and matching ring are both from Pomellato, while the twisted golden necklace is a reuse from Orit Elhanati. Despite covering most of it, Mary did also wear several bracelets from both Cartier and Dulong Fine Jewelry. Love when she wears all kinda different bracelets. Gives a more casual look. The diamond ring is also a Dulong Fine Jewelry creation. The beautiful quality black leather clutch is from Quidam.

Women Deliver 2019

This year the international conference Women Deliver takes place in Vancouver, Canada from June 3-5th. It was announced a month ago who would host the next conference. Like previous years, the Crown Princess is attending the conference which is world-leading on equality, girls and women's health, rights and well-being. This years conference focus on "Power. Progress. Change".

During the three days conference, more than 8,500 people are attending from over 150 different countries. Both experts, NGO's, politicians, organizations, etc. are gathered in Vancouver to discuss and share ideas about new strategies on how to make the world a better place for girls and women. Crown Princess Mary is one of them.

The Crown Princess acted patron for the event five years ago in 2016 when Copenhagen hosted the conference. Also in 2009 (Washington) and 2012 (Kuala Lumpur) was the Crown Princess invited to attend Women Deliver. She is also influencer for the Deliver for Good campagne launched three years ago.

03 June

On Monday it all started. Crown Princess Mary had arrived to Vancouver, Canada to attend this years Women Deliver Conference 2019. During the day she participated in a number of different events. From front raw the Crown Princess listened, questioned and was overall committed.

Among others, she attended the panel debate #ThePowerOfUs from which the pictures below were taken, here. Among the participants was 18 year old Natasha. She gave a strong impression on the Crown Princess. The young woman made it clear that young people do play an important role in creating a world with equal rights and possibilities for everbody. Listning to 18 year old Natasha made on impression on Crown Princess Mary, who mentioned the young woman in a quote on the royal family's social media platforms, here.

The Crown Princess also stated that it is really exciting to be in Vancouver to attend Women Deliver. She is impressed that more than 8,500 people are participating and that the atmosphere is all about energy and optimism.



Day one of the conference Mary wore two different outfits. The first I am aware of is her wearing black suit - fitted black trousers and a matching blazer. I cannot tell for sure if she has worn it before, because the lack of pictures. She probably did wear the suit on a previous occasion. The bright red blouse with the lovely print is one from Erdem. It has been seen before when participating a workshop on social norms with the Mary Foundation and other collaborators in March, here. It then looks like she embraced the style by wearing her reused Prada handbag and simple black pumps from Jimmy Choo. I imagine they are quite comfortable to wear all day because of the chunky heel. It is not the first time she took advantage of a large heeled pump. Mary actually wore this combo of shoes and bag when visiting Sorglinjen on May 29th, here.

Later, when she attended the opening of the Women Deliver 2019 Conference, she had changed her outfit. Now Mary was wearing a reused pleated midi skirt from Designers Remix. This skirts was first worn three years ago when she attended the UNGA in New York, here. At that time she matched the skirt with a simple black blouse, and this time in Vancouvers she had chosen a plain white pleated blouse from to match the skirt. Lovely and minimalistic. As earlier in the morning, she was still wearing a black blazer. I also noticed diamond earrings. Guess that she could also be wearing fine bracelets to match the rest of the outfit.

04 June

It had been a busy first day in Vancouver. The Crown Princess had been participating several events and panel debates. On the second day Crown Princess Mary, among others, participated EdTech Talk - The future of health worker training. Here she was given the change to know more about how hard a challenge it can be to safe a newborn baby's life. She even tried first-aid herself on a baby doll called NeoNatalie, here. EdTech is all about future learning. Who technology will be able to help to, among others, train and educate midwives in low and middle income countries the lifesaving treatment of mothers and newborns. The Crown Princess also gave a speech as part of the event , which was organized by Maternity Foundation, ICM (the global midwives organization), Laerdal Global Health and Microsoft.



I never participated a conference myself, but I imagine it takes a quite comfortable outfit because you are wearing it all day. Mary looked really comfortable in what she was wearing during the second day of the Women Deliver 2019 conference. She had chosen to wear a reused blue blouse from Victoria Beckham with what looks like a brand new black lace skirt. A good friend of mine suggested that her new skirt could be from Dolce & Gabbana, here. It is very likely because they often make similar skirts and dresses like the one Mary is wearing at the conference. Let me know what you think or if you have heard anything interesting I need to know about. She accessorized the outfit with earrings and a ring both from Pomellato, and three bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry. The fourth one looks a lot like her Cartier bangle. We also got a glimpse of her Prada handbag. I am not quite sure about the navy blue suede pumps. Are these old or new?

05 June

Two long days had passed and the Crown Princess was only able to stay in Vancouver, Canada for one more day. June 5th is a special day celebrated in Denmark. It is our Constitution Day. This day the Danes celebrated the Danish democracy. On that occasion Crown Princess Mary attended a morning event with other Danes now living in the Vancouver-area. Seems like everyone were having a great time chatting and having a cup of coffee.


With only very few pictures from the morning event it is a bit difficult to tell exactly what Mary was wearing at the event. Nevertheless I immediately recognized her printed dress. It is from Diane von Furstenberg. She first wore this dress back in 2018 during an official visit to Seattle in May, here. The navy blue coat is not new, though I first thought it was. Actually it goes back to around 2017 when she wore it at an event on occasion of the Mary Foundations 10th anniversary, here. The lovely blue coat is from Harris Wharf London. Think she is wearing matching blue pumps as well. We get a glimpse of white pearl earrings, which I believe is from Dulong Fine Jewelry and her Nadia Shelbaya necklace.

It has been three wonderful day, and I strongly believe the Crown Princess found this a very interesting and educational visit.

Changing of the guard at Gråsten Castle

Friday, July 20th

Like most other families the Crown Prince couple enjoy summer time with a vacation along with all four children. This year they stay at Gråsten Castle and now the Queen and her sister Queen Anne-Marie joined them. Little under a week ago, the family attended the annual parade of Gråsten Ringrider Association near Gråsten Castle, here. We rarely get to see the family, when they are on vacation and that's just fine with me. They need some time on their now and then. A few days ago the family shared a rare moment with all of us on Instagram. It shows Prince Vincent having a silent moment on his own in the garden, here. Then on Friday we then got one more glimpse of the family, because of the changing of guard's at Gråsten Castle. The Crown Prince couple, all four children, Queen Margrethe and Queen Anne-Marie watched the shift taking place. This little "ceremony" takes place each Friday while the Queen stay at the castle in Gråsten. It is performed by the Royal Livgard Music Corps and Tambur Corps.

Think it is wonderful to see the family gathered. All of them seems happy and in a great mood during the shift. Especially, I noticed how comfortable Prince Vincent seem to be. We rarely see him this relaxed and comfortable. I am glad on his behalf that he is now able to feel more comfortable in public. And the Queen looked her very best with her little dachshund following her whereabouts closely.

Mary played it safe with a rather simple and boho-chic outfit at the changing of the guard on Friday. She looks all comfortable in her new off-shoulder blouse from Designers Remix (identified by Heaven) and still unidentified maxi skirt. It features a significant paisley print, but so far I have not been able to identify where it is from. Reminds me of something Chloé could have in one of their collections. All other ideas are very welcome. Let me hear what ideas you in mind.

I always admired Mary's holiday wardrobe. The bohemian style makes a great match to her personally and what we are use to see her wear during everyday's. And a perfect contrast to huge tulle gowns and pencil skirts. It is clear that her daughters have inherited (or taking noticed of their mother) her sense of choosing chic outfits. Princess Josephine dazzled in a blue off-shirt dress and sandals, while her older sister were dressed in a denim dress and brown sandals. Their brothers embraced (as their father) shorts and short sleeve blouses. Love how the family always manage to match each others clothes with such perfection. Even the colours match. Mary also accessorized her look with reused snake t-strap sandals from Prada.

Day 1. Copenhagen Fashion Summit 2018

Tuesday, May 15th



Tuesday morning the Crown Princess arrived to DR Concert House in Copenhagen to attend the opening of Copenhagen Fashion Summit 2018. The summit is an international conference focusing on sustainable fashion and has the Crown Princess as patron. It first took place back in 2009. At the arrival she was warmly welcomed by Eva Kruse and given flowers from the sweetest flower girl. As part of the opening, EU Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager gave the speech. Usually the Crown Princess herself use to address the opening speech, but not this time. She listened to Margrethe Vestager's words from first raw. The Crown Princess also payed a visit to the Innovation Forum exhibition, where companies presented different sustainable fashion solutions.

It is not the first time Mary has attended Copenhagen Fashion Summit wearing stunning and magnificent outfits. These ones from 2012, here, are some of my personal favourites.  And this one, here, from 2017 is also incredible. We never really know what to expect from her because every time we get surprised but her choices when it comes to clothes and accessories. This year she dazzled in a reused creation from Designers Remix. It goes back to the fashion summit in 2014, here. The dress is sustainably made of 100 % recycled polyester from plastic bottles, here. Personally, I am convinced that the dress from 2014 has been altered into a skirt because she's wearing a reused black blouse from Julie Fagerholt Heartmade. To me an alteration is the only possibility on how to wear it with that black blouse. I requested the designers and are still waiting for an answer. What do you think? As accessories she had chosen earrings (and a ring) from Pomellato, an Orit Elhanati necklace, bracelets from Cartier and Dulong Fine Jewelry. A really beautiful combination. She also embraced the style by wearing a reused suede clutch from Hugo Boss, first worn at a swimming event, here, and baby blue Gianvito Rossi pumps. These was worn during the second day in Japan, here. I am sure you remember them. Another thing I want you to notice is her hairstyle. I missed these updo's for so long. She even added a little hairclip from Pico.

Arla Foods Global Innovation Centre & The Womenomics Global Impact Award 2017

Tuesday, May 16th

Crown Princess Mary attended the launch of Arla Foods Global Innovation Centre, a new multifunctional innovation center for Arla's product development. The opening took place in Aarhus. Later in the afternoon, the Crown Princess received The Womenomics Global Impact Award 2017 on occasion of the Womenomics Business Conference taking place in Copenhagen. 


Crown Princess Mary attending the launch of Arla Foods Global Innovation Centre, Aarhus

Time is running and I am sorry you had to wait this long for me to finish this post. But better late than never, so... Crown princess Mary was the guest of honor at the grand opening of the new Arla Foods Global Innovation Centre in Aarhus. These new facilities are a multifunctional centre for Arla's product development. And who else to invite for the opening than the Crown Princess herself? She arrived in rainy weather on Tuesday to attend the launch. Despite the weather, Mary was in a great spirit at the opening. She was kindly welcomed and given flowers from a very shy little flower-girl. But as always, Mary took plenty of time getting the little girl comfortable with the situation. The red carpet was replaced with a green and the red ribbon replaced with a leaf vine. A little unusual. The Crown Princess was also given a tour around the building to see for herself some of the improvement Arla are working on. 



Crown Princess Mary receiving The Womenomics Global Impact Award 2017, Copenhagen

The Crown Princess was a busy lady on Tuesday. In the morning she attended the grand launch of the new Arla Foods Global Innovation Centre in Aarhus. In the afternoon Mary was back in Copenhagen to attend the presentation of The Womenomics Global Impact Award 2017 -she attended both as guest of honor and recipient of the award! The Crown Princess is given the award because of her work to improve health conditions, rights and well-being for girls and women in Denmark as well as abroad. Other than the Crown Princess; Pia Vennelund received the Womenomics Leadership Award 2017 and Ida Auken was given the Womenomics Influencer Award 2017. Congratulations to all three women! They are all doing a great and honorable work for women all over the world. On occasion of her attendance Mary gave a remarkable speech. I am in no doubt that is was a wonderful day for the Crown Princess. 



At both events during Tuesday, Mary was dressed in a simple black and white outfit. Other than once piece of clothes, I believe all of it are reused. Though we have seen most of these pieces before, it looks brand new because of the combination. Attending the opening of a new centre and receiving an award, takes an outfit like this one -classy, elegant and sophisticated. She matched a pleated Designers Remix skirt with a (new?) white blouse and her black Helmut Lang blazer featuring a leather collar. It was during a trip to New York back in 2016 Mary wore the midi skirt for the first time and we have not seen it since -till now, here. Love how the lengths of each piece makes her outfit look very modern and chic. I am not quite sure if the white blouse is new or also reused. In my opinion it looks new and the style reminds me a lot of a Hugo Boss design. All though I have not been able to find the right model. Do you have any specific designer in mind? She had accessorized her outfit with white pearls from Dulong Fine Jewelry and one of her Carlend Copenhagen clutches. Perfectly matching the black and white pleated skirt, Mary was wearing cap-toe pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Anything you would wear? Think she looks great!

Day 1. United Nations' General Assembly in New York

Monday, September 19th

From September 19-21st Crown Princess Mary is present at the United Nations' General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

* Princessesblog76.blogspot.com

Three busy days were ahead of Crown Princess Mary, when Monday arrived to New York to attend United Nations' General Assembly. She is accompanied by Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kristian Jensen. They were both guests of honor to attend a reception with Women Deliver in the evening. Here they attended the launch of a new campaign entitled ''Deliver for Good' focusing on girls and women's rights and health.

According to Billed Bladet, hundred ideas and solutions from the Women Deliver conference, hosted by Denmark couple of months ago, were presented at the reception. Crown Princess Mary is present at several meetings and other activities during the three days in New York.

The Crown Princess is not the only royal family member attending. Also Crown Princess Victoria and Princess Madeleine of Sweden, King Abdullah and Queen Rania of Jordan, King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain are attending the UNGA.

It was more of a private reception she attended in the evening. Only a few picture have been published, which makes it way more complicated to identify what she was wearing representing Denmark in New York. What I see is a brand new striped skirt and a sleeveless black blouse. Heaven shared her thoughts with me on the new skirt and I decided to mail Designers Remix to ask about Mary's new skirt. It was indeed a Designers Remix skirt, although not from a current season where it's pink and metallic blue, here, here. Think she is wearing a thin black belt to embrace her waistline. About the blouse. Well I have no designer yet, but I am pretty sure it is the same as the one she wore attending the INDEX: Award 2015, here. What do you say? - is it the same? To me they look quite similar.

No photos showing her feet, so unfortunately I can't tell you anything about her shoes. My guess would we a pair of black pointed pumps, maybe from SAND Copenhagen or Gianvito Rossi. This time I'm only able to identify two bracelets. They are from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Cartier. Am I just the only one or would you love to have you own Love Bracelet from Cartier? When looking at her earrings I think it could be a pair of golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry, here. Great way to start a three days visit.

Because of the opening of the world famous Copenhagen Fashion Summit 2014, Mary began her day early by attending the official opening the summit which took place in the Opera, Copenhagen, right across the dock of Frederik VIII's Palace where, as you know, Frederik and Mary lives with their four wonderful children and family dog Ziggy. She crossed the water in a small barge and arrived as a true Crown Princess to the marvelous Opera House where she was kindly welcomed by CEO of the Danish Fashion Institute Eva Kruse. The two women have met a several events one of them the day before the opening when Frederik and Mary hosted a dinner for prominent participants taking part in the summit 2014. Like Eva Kruse, attended Economics and the Interior Margrethe Vestager both the dinner at summit the following day. It was with a huge smile on her face she arrived. As guest of honor, Mary entered the stage and gave the opening address. She spoke about the importance of sustainability in the fashion industry and why it's important we are aware of the responsibility we all have. Mary wan't the only one speaking and it was with great interest she listened to the other actors working for and with the sustainable fashion industry. As a Dane, I am honored to have a Crown Princess who advocate sustainability, but it also makes me incredibly happy that a relatively small country like Denmark is world renowned for sustainability. It's great that we are able to attract people from all over the world with our conference. Something I hope we will continue doing. As glad as when she arrived, Mary left the Opera House to attend in Research Day in Aalborg.

Crown Princess Mary attended the Day of Research 2014

Three hours later Mary arrived to Aalborg to attend this years Day of Research 2014 which has been held since 2005 and is a national science festival. The festival each year attracts around 65,000 visitors who learn about science trough lectures, exhibitions and debates, all organized by universities and research institutions. On occasion of Day of Research 2014, which she is patron of, she was about to present Research Communication Award 2014. She was warmly welcomed by the sweetest flower girl handing over a beautiful bouquet of flowers to the Crown Princess. For the second time that day, she entered the stage once again and spoke to open Day of Research 2014. At the same time, Mary announced Anne-Marie Mai from Southern University (Syddansk Universitet) as the as recipient of the Research Communication Award 2014. After all the serious work, open the conference and present today's award, it was time for Mary to have a little fun. Along with an army of  photographers and curious children, she tested among other things her responsiveness. I really think she had a great time trying activities at the conference which was all about science and how to use it. 

Because she began her day attending Copenhagen Fashion Summit 2014 on sustainable fashion  in the Opera House she had to be appropriate dressed. And look at that dress! Mary just know how to attract attention with her outfits. She has attended both previous summits, in 2009 and 2012, and was sustainably dressed in 2012 wearing a Hennes & Mauritz floral dress from one of their conscious collections. When representing the world's largest conference on sustainable fashion I would say it's also expected of her to wear sustainable clothes. As two years ago that is exactly what she did; a custom designed blue and white knee-lenght dress created by Designers Remix. Not something we usually see her wear but I was amazed by its minimalistic design! It is made of sustainable materials except from the zipper: "The only thing not sustainable in the outfit is the zips, so we had to use a recycled one." she told The Guardian during the summit. Her and her new dress really caught everybody's attention. Because it's a little unusual I was surprised but fell in love with it instantly! What do you think? -is it a go or no go. I really like to see her in something new and unexpected as this really was. I differently think Mary can wear such as dress. Because it is custom made I can't show you a picture of the model. She matched the blue and white dress with black accessories -a belt, SAND Copenhagen pumps (not L.K. Bennett as I first thought!), a large shawl to keep her warm and of course the always wonderful black croco Carlend Copenhagen clutch. She shone wearing earrings from Hartmann's and two bracelets from Marianne Dulong and Shamballa Jewels. I can't wait to see that dress again!
