Day 3. Official State Visit to Australia

March 16th, 2026

The Australian War Memorial in Canberra

The King and Queen have arrived in Canberra where they first spend their day planting two trees at the Government House. Her new navy blue Carolina Herrera dress wasn't really the best of choices for the occasion planting tress - nor the Gianvito Rossi pumps, but with their next visit in mind, it was perfect. Because later on, the couple visited the Australian War Memorial. 

They paid their respect with a minute in silence and a beautiful wreath to those lost in battle and those fighting out in the world since World War one.

Mary looked really elegant in her new dress and custom-made Katrin Cecilia Jacobsen headpiece. A beautiful piece. The Connaught Sapphire brooch goes back to the year when Crown Prince Christian was christened. Mary received it as a gift from Queen Margrethe on occasion of her first child's birth and christening. It has been worn by Queen Margrethe and Queen Ingrid.

Meeting the Prime Minister

During their day in Canberra, the King and Queen also attended a meeting with the Denmark-Australia Parliamentary Friendship Group. They were given the opportunity to meet a number of members of the parliamentary friendship group. The members represent each their Australian states and territories.

I wanna say that Mary's creamy white/soft pink Max Mara suit was more than appropriate, but I would have liked to see something else. She has become very fond of suits and "hiding" in oversize blazers. I don't see the need of that. Nevertheless, I adore her matching blazer and suede Gianvito Rossi pumps. And the Max Mara leather bag is too a winner.

King Frederik and Queen Mary then attended the official opening of the Danish-Australian Life Science-Conference. It gathered Governments, companies and different research institutions working with innovation, prevention and healthcare solutions.

Dinner with the Prime Minister

It was not part of the officially published plan for the state visit but in the evening the couple attended a dinner hosted by the Prime Minister.

I have only been able to find one photo from the dinner posted by the Prime Minister himself welcoming the royal couple. It shows that Mary dazzled in a reused Etro dress and heeled sandals from Gianvito Rossi. Haven't we seen the earrings before?

Day 2. UN Climate Conference 'COP30'

November 12, 2025

Queen Mary already spent her first day in the city of Belém in Brazil by visiting the production site Ilha do Combu and attending welcoming reception at the Hangar where COP30 is hosted.

On November 12th, she first paid a visit to the research institute Embrapa, which is top of its league in agriculture, sustainability and forestry. Later on, she visited the African pavilion also attending the climate conference. The cultural center in Utinga Park also had the delightful pleasure of her visit.

You know I love when she is wearing colors. The more, the better. This is also why I really like her outfit on November 12th. Pretty sure her orange trousers are old ones but never identified. Love the detail with a matching (new) belt. It is from Seed Heritage. Beautiful combo of different materials. Her beloved white linen blouse is Bagutta.

As accessories Mary had chosen stunning Louise Grønlykke earrings. Only seen a couple of times before. The same story goes with the Dulong Fine Jewelry necklace. Pieces we have only seen a few times. I never really made up my mind with the necklace. Do you like this type of design?

She changed shoes from a pair of beloved Prada ballet flats to chic brown leather sandals from Gianvito Rossi. Mary has become very fond of these heeled sandals. We get it, right?

Dinner at Mercado de São Brás

Queen Mary was accompanied by the Brazilian First Lady Rosângela da Silva when attending dinner at the Marcado de São Brás. They attended as guests of honor. The president of COP30, Director-General of the UN Environment Programme Inger Andersen also took part in the dinner such as specially invited guests.

The dinner was to show how a project between Denmark Brazil work with sustainable gastronomy. It gathers chefs, farmers and local actors with a focus on biodiversity, local ingredients and food culture.

Mary looked absolutely magnificent at the dinner at Marcado de São Brás! Her stunning printed dress is a reused from Etro. She first wore the dress for a private dinner at Wayfair Club Oswald in 2023. It is also the same dress as worn for a reception on Dannebrog last year.

In Brazil, Mary accessorized the fine dress with brand new earrings - perhaps a gift? A closer look will show that Mary had also chosen an old ring created by talented Dulong Fine Jewelry. It appeared in her wardrobe in 2005. The diamond band is from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. She was likely to have worn heels from Malone Souliers. The clutch is still a mystery to me.

Presentation of the Carlsberg Foundation's Research Awards 2025

September 03, 2025

Queen Mary attended the presentation of this years Carlsberg Foundation's Research Awards taking place at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen. She also attended the following dinner.

Chairperson of the Carlsberg Foundation, Majken Schultz was accompanied by Danish Minister of Education and Research Christina Egelund and the chairperson of the award committee Mette Birkedal Bruun welcomed the Queen when she arrived at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek.

Professor at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen Klaus Mølme and Claes Holger de Vreese, professor and head of the Digital Democracy Centre at the University of Southern Denmark, were this year's recipients of the Carlsberg Foundation's Research Awards.

They are rewarded with 1.5 million Danish Kroner to their research and 500,000 Danish Kroner as a personal reward.

Mary first wore this set back in 2017 when visiting Japan. Either you like it or you don't. What team are you on? I always liked the vibe but I see why somebody confused it with nightwear. The floral printed set is from Etro. She styled it with black mesh pumps from Gianvito Rossi and a reused glitter clutch from Sergio Rossi. Simply beautiful!

I'm pretty sure many of you noticed the stunning opal necklace. Magnificent, right? I'm 99.9% sure it is a gift from the JAA Opal Sector in 2006. This is its very first public appearance. Mary was gifted a pendant and Frederik received opal cufflinks.

As other jewellery Mary wore a colorful Dulong Fine Jewelry bracelet, a golden Rebekka Notkin cuff and a Cartier watch.

Day 2. Official visit to the Faroe Islands

Vágur, Fámjin, Tvøroyri

June 12, 2025

King Frederik, Queen Mary and Princess Josephine arrived in Tórshavn on June 11th. They are traveling with Dannebrog - the Danish royal yacht.

On June 12th Dannebrog docked Vágur, where they visited both FabLab, Vágseiði and the nursing home Hamragarður.

Later that day the arrived in Fámjin. The King and Queen visited the company TARI. They farm seaweed and make products of seaweed.

The last stop was Tvøroyri. The couple accompanied each other when visiting the kindergarden Mýrifípan. At the plantation King Frederik and Queen Mary helped each other plant a tree.

In the evening the coupe attended a dinner hosted by Mayor Kristin Michelsen. The dinner took place at the culture house SALT.

Visiting the Faroe Islands takes a warm and practical wardrobe. Mary packed wisely. When visiting Vágur Mary embraced a chic look. She wore a couple of coats from Scandinavian Edition and Uniqlo. Later on she changed to a lovely creamy white Harris Wharf London double-breasted coat. A perfect match with the dark blue turtleneck and the printed Etro belt.

She styled the outfit with beloved diamond earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe and a magnificent diamond ring. One day I hope to be able to identify it.

When spilinning in Vágur Mary wore Salomon boots. She then changed to a pair of black suede boots.

21 October 2024

Arriving to Germany

On October 21st-22nd, the Royal Couple will pay an official visit to Germany and the Danish minority in Schleswig-Holstein on occasion of the proclamation in January.

King Frederik and Queen Mary arrived by plain in Berlin earlier this morning. They were warmly welcomed at the airport by President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender.

I have only been able to see a couple of photos from their arrival in Berlin, when leaving the plain. Looks like Mary is wearing a simple white blouse, navy blue trousers and a matching long coat. The photos I have seen are all blurry, so it's difficult for me to say anything for sure about brands.

She styled her travel outfit with comfortable Prada boots, a reused Ralph Lauren bag and a brand new headband created by Katrin Cecilia Jacobsen. A closer look revealed that she was in fact also wearing her beautiful printed Etro belt. I really look forward to the next couple of days!

First day in Germany

After their arrival, the royal couple were officially welcomed by President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender in their residence at Schloss Bellevue. 

The official welcoming ceremony was followed by a meeting with the Bärbel Bas, President of the Bundestag. They were given a guided tour around the Reichstag.

In the afternoon, King Frederik and Queen Mary met with representatives from the five nordic countries - with Germany as host, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Nordic embassy facility in Berlin. Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel from Sweden and Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit also attended the anniversary, along with Finland and Iceland's Presidents.

Have we seen this outfit before? Yes, we have. When the couple visited Norway back in May, Mary wore the exact same Jesper Høvring blouse, checkered Emilie Wickstead skirt and nude pointed Prada pumps. E Even the leather clutch from Prada is the same. Something, I think this time in Germany suits her way better. Think it is the 60's vibe that captures we. The soft blue coat matched everything perfectly!

Somehow, milliner Katrin Cecilia Jacobsen managed to create a headband in the same color and fabric as her beautiful Jesper Høvring blouse. That is truly impressive. Mary also styled her dreamy princess-look with large golden Rebekka Notkin earrings and a diamond ring.

I am enchanted by her wonderful outfit. Although we have are in end of October and autumn has already arrived, the soft pastel colors are still incredibly beautiful.

President of the Federal Republic of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier hosted a prestiges official dinner at the Schloss Bellevue accompanied by his beautiful wife, Elke Büdenbender. The dinner also gathered royals from both Sweden and Norway and Presidents.

It was wonderful to see of them together: King Frederik, Queen Mary, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit.

Both the President of the Federal Republic of Germany and King Frederik gave a speech at the dinner.

I was breathless when I saw the first photos of Mary's evening outfit at the official dinner! She looked marvelous in her brand new bright red gown from Carolina. Herrera. It's so simple, yet detailed. The cap-sleeves, belt and tailoring are outstanding.

Mary embraced the outfit with her wedding earrings created by Dulong Fine Jewelry in company with King Frederik. It was his morning gift to his (then) future wife. Dulong Fine Jewelry also mastered the elegant white pearl ring. We all noticed her massive pearl bracelet. It features the portrait of Queen Josefina of Sweden-Norway. It is part of The Danish Royal Property Trust stored at Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen.

She matched the white pearl with a brand new Anya Hindmarch clutch. Truly incredible accessory. Such as the bright red satin pumps from Rupert Sanderson. Think I love pretty much everything of tonight's outfit. Even the hairstyle is perfect.

Reception for participants at the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games

12 September 2024

In end of July and beginning of August, the King and Queen visited Paris, France to attend the Olympic Games 2024 and cheer for the Danish teams.

On September 12th the couple had invited all the Danish participants of the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games to attend a reception at Fredensborg Castle. More than 280 guests attended the 'small gathering' at the orangery for a chat, snack a glass of lemonade.

Princess Benedikte also attended the reception as patron of 'Parasport Denmark'.

Mary looked like a dream at the reception at Fredensborg! She wore my favorite colors in the season of autumn. Burned orange, creamy white, brown, ruffles and golden jewellery. Her elegant dress is a reuse from Zimmermann. Mary first wore this dress at the christening of Prince Gustav Albrecht zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg in 2023. The big question: 2023 or 2024? When outside, she added a (new?) chic white coat.

I love how she matched the dress with that embellished robe belt from Etro. Makes a great match! Perfect with the nude pointed Gianvito Rossi pumps, don't you think?

Mary had chosen one-of-a-king earrings crafted by Dulong Fine Jewelry and a reused brown topaz ring from Georg Jensen. Seems like everyone missed that beautiful ring. She also wore a custom-made bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Just look at those colors!

We get a glimpse of a clutch. It is an old one from Carlend Copenhagen only worn once back in 2017.

Summer tour with Dannebrog

Day 3. Assens

21 August 2024

A day in Assens

The King and Queen have arrived in Assens. Danneborg docked in Assens harbour. The couple were driven by carriage to the official welcoming ceremony at the City Hall.

Before having lunch at Skovpavillionen, they visited the Peter Willemoes school and Lundager forest. The couple then visited Assens Forsyning - the 'Forsynings park' and 'WaterCare'.

They had already seen a little part of the city but later they participated a city walk in the town of Assens.

I kinda like the elements of this days outfit and still something is nagging me. Can't really pin-point it because the new coral printed Zimmermann dress is indeed lovely. So is the old linen blazer from Ralph Lauren. Even the Etro belt matched perfectly! What are your thoughts?

Mary had chosen a beautiful hairpiece made by Danish milliner Susanne Juul. She has created many hats and headpieces for Mary over the years. This one has been worn before. Actually, Mary first wore it in 2005, when pregnant med Crown Prince Christian!

She embraced the look with golden necklaces from Halberstadt and Dulong Fine Jewelry. The earrings I have never been able to identify. Maybe one day.

The elegant sling-backs are Gianvito Rossi and the fine leather handbag is Max Mara. At one point, Mary changed shoes to Prada flats. She also added a little warmth by wearing a brand new Harris Wharf London trenchcoat.

Reception on board Dannebrog

Before leaving Assens, the King and Queen hosted another reception on Board Dannebrog. When the couple were about to go off to the next destination in Vejle, they were honored the most beautiful way with a small concert right there at the harbor.

We don't have much from the reception when it comes to photos. We have a few video clips showing that Mary wore a plain white Jesper Høvring blouse and a brand new green skirt with some kind of print. To me it looks like a full midi with dots.

Having seen the video over and over again, I think she was wearing around green earrings (possibly new) and a reused emerald ring surrounded by a couple of diamonds.

Summer tour with Dannebrog

Day 2. Ærø

20 August 2024

A day at Ærø

King Frederik and Queen Mary have arrived at the island of Ærø. They are on their first official summer tour as King and Queen. The couple traveled by Dannebrog - the royal yacht.

They were warmly welcomed at Marstal harbour on Ærø and were officially welcomed at the Motor fabric Marstal.

Before hiking in Voderup Klit, the couple visited 'Ellen' in Søby harbour. Ellen is a ferry sailing on electricity. King Frederik and Queen Mary also paid a visit at Søbygaard - a visitor's center for Geopark.

Later, they went for a walk down Ærøkøbing square to Ærøkøbing harbour.

I have to say: what on earth is going on with this outfit? Why blue heels? Why this hat? What is your first impression?

Mary had chosen to wear a reused plain white Bagutta blouse and a brand new soft brown JOSEPH midi skirt. I kinda like this combo but I think a warmer colored blouse would have been better. Lately, she has been truly fond of wearing her Bagutta blouses. She has three - a white one, light blue and striped white and blue.

She accessorized the outfit with a Canopy Bay by Deborah Hutton hat and white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Her two golden necklaces, bracelets and ring are also by Dulong Fine Jewelry. The third shorter necklace is Halberstadt.

More interesting is her new Jimmy Choo pumps. I have never really been a huge fan of kitten pumps. Why even make an effort of don't just make them flats. I don't quite get them. Nevertheless, I think these new Jimmy Choo's are pretty cool but do not match the rest of her outfit. When hiking Mary changed to NIKE sneakers. Again, why pink sneakers? Why not her white NIKE sneakers.

Oh.. this evening outfit is magnificent! Love it. The Etro dress is so beautiful with the impressive colorful embroidery. She has worn it twice. At a private dinner at Wayfair Club Oswald in 2023 on occasion of the coronation in Great Britain. Then again in May 2024 for the presentation of the 'Léonie Sonnings Music Prize'.

Mary beautifully embraced the style with an elegant updo and turquoise earrings and ring. The earrings hold a lovely story. They belonged to her mother-in-law Queen Margrethe and were gifted to her for her 50th birthday. The delicate necklace is Halberstadt.

Wish we had many more photos from this event. Mary looked SO beautiful in her reused Etro dress! Most photos are just blurry. Why? She has only worn the dress ones before and that was at a private dinner at Wayfair Club Oswald when attending the coronation in Great Britain in 2023.

At the presentation of the 'Léonie Sonnings Music Prize' in Odense, Mary embraced the style of her dress with stunning diamond earrings custom-made by Dulong Fine Jewelry. These earrings go way back and comes with several different pendants. She also wore a couple of necklaces. One of them is Halberstadt.

We also get a glimpse of an old bright blue stain clutch from Prada. Mary first wore it at a private birthday party in 2015. I've tried everything to finde more photos of her shoes to tell for sure if they are old or new. Everybody else thinks it is her grey satin pumps from Manolo Blahnik. I am not quite sure. I like the idea of Manolo Blahnik, but I think Mary is in fact wearing brand new ones. In blue. What do you think?
