Day 5.

The Olympic Games 2024

01 August 2024

Rowing competition

The last couple of days, Queen Mary has attended dressage at Versailles along with two good friends. 

On August 1st, she showed up at the rowing stadion in Paris to watch Sverri Nielsen compete for the Danish team. Sverri Nielsen is from the Faroe Islands but is rowing for the Danish Students Rowing Club.

We haven't got that many photos of Mary attending the rowing competition but yet enough to look closer at what she was wearing. She matched a simple white blouse with a reused POLO Ralph Lauren denim shirt and green trousers. We have seen her wear the denim shirt twice: at the World Cup 2023 and when she participated packing backpacks along at LEGO in Billund last year.

Her cool reed cap is part of Vero Moda's collection for the Danish teams participating the Olympics. Jack & Jones designed the men's collection. Both brands are owned by the Danish company Bestseller.

Ones again, Mary wore golden jewellery from Halberstadt and Dulong Fine Jewelry. I like her wearing multiple necklaces and bracelets. Looks exclusive and elegant.

They were also present at the 4 x 200 mentor Freestyle Relay swimming competition for women.

Love that the three of them matched outfits one more time! All wearing plain white summery blouses. Mary styled her new Massimo Dutti blouse with the before-seen printed Ganni skirt. Really like that she's wearing her clothes and accessories all over again. Like with the Ganni skirt. That is what 'we' would do when traveling.

Both necklaces Halberstadt and Dulong Fine Jewelry, the Dulong Fine Jewelry ring and tortoise-like Gucci glasses have been seen before on her trip to Paris. She changed earrings a couple of times. These golden hoops are also from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Her favorite summer-brand?

Day 4.

The Olympic Games 2024

31 July 2024

Dressage at Versailles

Queen Mary is enjoying the Olympic Games in Paris, France with two of her best friends - Helle Trolle and Malou Skeel. They arrived yesterday to watch dressage at Versailles. The Queen also watched a handball match between Denmark and Sweden.

Today, the three of them showed up for another round of dressage at Versailles. She and Helle Trolle had the pleasure of congratulation Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour with her impressive show.

Love that the three of them wore colour-matching outfits at the dressage at Versailles. Mary wore a brand new red/white pin-striped dress and a soft white linen blazer. The dress has been identified as Signe Bøgelund-Jensen.

She embraced the style with her Canopy Bay by Deborah Hutton hat and chic Celine sunglasses. I get why all of you go crazy about this outfit. I do too!

Her golden necklaces are from Halberstadt and Dulong Fine Jewelry. Bracelets and earrings are also stunning creations by talented Dulong Fine Jewelry. Even her ring is crafted by the Danish goldsmith - who also happens to be a close friend of her.

She carried all her belongings in an amazing Prada bag. No doubt about her new sandals. They are from Hermés. The color was more difficult to track down but I think I found it. Her fine little scarf is part of the Vero Moda collection designed for the Danish OL team.

Queen Mary attended a swimming night session in Paris as part of the Olympics. The swimming session took place at the Paris La Defense Arena.

She was one again accompanied by Helle Trolle and Malou Skeel.

Honestly, I think her eye-makeup was a bit too heavy but I love the rest of her look at the swimming night session. Mary matched a simple white button-down blouse with a reused navy blue printed Ganni skirt. She first wore the skirt back in 2018 when meeting with CEO of Women Deliver Katja Iversen.

The white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry goes waaaaaay back in time. Think it is the earrings she favor the most. She has worn them a million times for a million of different occasions. Her three necklaces are from Halberstadt and Dulong Fine Jewelry. The bracelets are too. Even the custom-made ring.

By now, we all know that the little delicate brown leather cross-body bag is from Chloe. First worn at a humanitarian visit to Jordan in 2013. The cool blue sandals are new ones from Prada.

Meeting with CEO of Women Deliver, Katja Iversen

Thursday, August 9th

It was only a few days ago the Crown Prince family arrived back in Copenhagen after having spend some time on board Dannebrog, here. On August 8th she attended an event in Bella Center on occasion of Copenhagen Fashion Week 2018, here.

The following day (on my birthday) the Crown Princess had a meeting with CEO of Women Deliver, Katja Iversen. The meeting took place at Amalienborg around noon - the time shows on her phone. Women Deliver is the world's largest conference on girls and women's well-being, health, rights and equality. The conference was held in Copenhagen back in 2016. At that time Crown Princess Mary was chosen patron of the event.

Katja Iversen, CEO of Women Deliver, presented a status of the organisations activities and future plans, projects and events - among other things. I imagine the two women had plenty of things to talk about. As CEO of Women Deliver, Katja Iversen also gave an update about the next conference taking place in June, in Canada 2019. The Danish Royal House informs that the Crown Princess is in influence of the organisations campagne 'Deliver-for-Good'.

Instagram ● Royals & Style

Meeting with Katja Iversen, CEO of Women Deliver, Mary was dressed in a brand new piece. At this point I am not quite sure if it is a dress or a two-piece - you know, skirt and blouse. The new piece features no sleeves, a high nigh collar and the most amazing print. The color is great too. I managed to find a few dresses at Ganni featuring the exact same colour and print last night. But not the same model. Now there is no about about Ganni being the designer. I'm still not sure about it being a dress or two-piece. Heaven kindly shared her thoughts and findings with me. She goes with a two-piece from a 2016 collection. I tend to agree with her.

Mary accessorized her new blue creation with old white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry - the same who created the multicoloured pearl bracelet. Once again she was wearing her golden Cartier bangle and two diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. The same combo as on August 8th, here. I still wonder where her engagement- and wedding ring are? Maybe getting polished or ready for 12 more years on her finger? Who knows. Still I like the two diamond rings very much. Especially with one on each hand.

Her hair was styles in a simple ponytail and her makeup was all natural. Am I the only one who just love when she's embracing the ponytail-style? Somehow Mary makes that hairstyle so chic and sophisticated. Makes me love it all over again.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended dinner along with Crown Prince Naruhito at Fredensborg castle with Queen Margrethe as hostess.

To make everything clear, this is the fourth day of Crown Prince Naruhito visiting Denmark on occasion of the 150th anniversary the Danish-Japanese diplomatic relations, but it is only the third time we are in the company of the Crown Princess. This is the reason why I mentioning this as day 3. So, are we clear? Great!

Around noon, the Japanese Crown Prince was invited to dinner at Fredensborg castle with Queen Margrethe as hostess. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary also attended the dinner. Crown Prince Naruhito was warmly welcomed by all three members of the Danish royal family when he arrived to Fredensborg. Before all four of them was ready to enjoy some lunch together, pictures were taken in front of the castle. The Japanese Crown Prince started the day on his own by visiting the cisterns at Frederiksberg, Copenhagen. From what I see, he was one big smile all day.

No doubt that we have seen so many splendid outfit already during the official state visit from Japan. What she wore at the dinner at Fredensborg castle was just a great. Mary showed up wearing a brand new green floral printed outfit, which turned out to be a blouse and matching skirt. Heaven is the one to thanks for knowing the designer behind this beautiful outfit. Ganni is where to find it. I'm crazy in love with the colour; looks just magnificent. I really hope to see these two new piece again, maybe the blouse with a pencil skirt or white trousers? Seems like Mary is very fun of golden jewellery right now because once again, she had accessorized the outfit with golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings, her Orit Elhanati necklace and that lovely golden leaves I'm Jewel ring. Makes a really good combo with the new set and the bright red (or perhaps coral?) nail polish. And the fact that she was wearing brown suede Gianvito Rossi pumps makes everything even more stunning. Green and brown makes a smashing match! I would so much like to see a close up on her hairstyle because it looks great at front. Love to try something similar myself.

Just as few days before Christmas, Mary is still working. Today she was attending a reception on occasion of a book launch which took place at the House of Industry. The book is entitled "Women Empower Business" and is a photo book. Earlier this year, during the Women Deliver Conference 2016, taking place in Denmark in May (of course you remember that), the Crown Princess attended the opening of a photo exhibition under the same name as the published book. These are the photos used in the book, all in one place. Mary was the guest of honor when she arrived to the House of Industry earlier this morning. She was welcomed with a wonderful red bouquet of flowers. I truly believe it is something she has been looking forward to participate, not only because the topic is very close to her heard, but also because -as far as I know- this is the first time she has ever written foreword in a book. Beautiful she writes how important it is that we share the responsibility for a world where everyone is equal. Signed; Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.

As I started by saying, we are only four days away from Christmas (of course if you celebrate Christmas on December 24th, as we do in Denmark) and sparkly clothes are needed. I really can't get enough of that golden Ganni dress and I love that's the dress she had chosen to wear. Feel in love with it the first time she wore it about a year ago or so. Not even in my wildest imagination I thought I'd one day be wearing the dress myself, but I did. Actually I wore my golden Ganni dress for Christmas eve last year. Honestly, you feel like a true princess! Believe it or not. Really a wonderful dress. Can not wait to wear it one day again. By the way, have you chosen what to wear on Christmas eve? I'd love to heard about it. Back to Mary. At the arrival she was wearing her black Prada coat, which is also where I noticed her long suede Prada boots. Not sure I would have chosen boots, but she makes it work (as usual). Not that I absolutely adore the combo, but it's a fine match. As accessory, she embrace the glamours style with a couple of bracelets -from Cartier, Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and Dulong Fine Jewelry. Perhaps also a pair of Hartmanns diamond earrings. Keeping everything classy, Mary wore a stunning Carlend Copenhagen clutch. Simple, yet elegant.

Crown Princess Mary arriving to Nuuk

From August 29-31st the Crown Princess was visiting Greenland as chairwoman of the Mary Foundation to see for herself how, among others, a Greenlandic day care center work with 'the Free of Bullying-program'. She was also attending a conference on domestic violence - a problematic issue in Greenland. The conference took place the following day. On her way to Greenland the royal family published a video of the Crown Princess. Here she talks about commitment to the conference and about her expectations prier to the visit. She arrived along with CEO of the Mary Foundation, Helle Østergaard.

At the arrival Mary wore a brand new coat. At first I was sure it was a gift on behalf of her visit. Then I learned that it is in fact a creation made by by Danish Jesper Høvring. It is from his collection 'Great Greenland' (collection: AW 2016). I have the information about her new coat made of sealskin at Royals & Fashion, here. This is how to keep warm and stay fashionable at the same time. Other than this incredible new coat, she was wearing a purple blouse (one I think we have seen before a couple of years ago) and a pair of black trousers. She styled this rather simple look with a brown Ralph Lauren bag, a long golden necklace and a pair of sunglasses. Her necklace could be from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. I don't see her shoes. My guess would be ankle boots or black pumps. A great travel outfit.

Crown Princess Mary visited day care center 'Sikkersoq'

In Nuuk around noon Crown Princess Mary was welcome by children dressed in traditional Greenlandic national costumes. They all caught her attention. Along with the Mary Foundation's mascot, a purple teddy bear, the Crown Princess seemed to enjoy her day as much as all the children. Despite their young age, the children loved hers and was center of attention from the second she arrived. The successful visit was followed by a meeting with Department of Family, Gender Equality, Social Affairs and Justice. A great way for her to get an impression of the situation before attending a conference on the topic the following day.

Shortly after arriving to Nuuk the Crown Princess quickly changed clothes. Now she was ready to begin her first day in Greenland. I have no idea how the weather is in Nuuk but I was surprised to see Mary wearing a short sleeved blouse when everybody else were covering themselves in warm coats. Guess it is because she only spend very little time outside. Dressed in a brand new shirt from Hugo Boss (thanks to Royals & Fashion for the info) and a black short sleeved turtleneck, her outfit has a 60s vibe that always looks incredible. Two piece of clothes you can style in so many different ways. Mary matched the looks with black SAND Copenhagen pumps, quite a few bracelets from among others Cartier and Dulong Fine Jewelry, such a pair of diamonds studs - probably from Hartmann's.  Think her new necklace could be a gift.
At all time my eyes are drawn to her hair. That length looks just great on her. Can't wait to see some more elegant hairstyles like the one at the 825th anniversary in Glostrup, here. Think this outfit would do perfectly with a leather jacket for a night out or maybe a pair of flats at work. So many ways to create new looks.

Crown Princess Mary attended a meeting with the Departement and dinner in Hans Egedes House, Nuuk

After visiting Sikkersoq in Nuuk it was time for the Crown Princess to attend a meeting with the Greenlandic Departement. The department is an important collaborator of the Mary Foundations when working with Greenland. At the arrival she was warmly welcomed by Minister of Family, Gender Equality, Social Affairs and Justice, Martha Lund Olsen and Minister of Education, Culture, Research and Church, Nivi Olsen. All three women were in a splendid mood. I am sure they had plenty of time to share experiences and knowledge that can be helpful to all of them. The meeting was followed by at visit at a local shelter, also in Nuuk, where the Crown Princess spoke with both residents and employees. Around seven o'clock it was time for a dinner which took place at Hans Egedes House.

Am I the only one who would have loved to see her outfit without the coat? Thought it's really stunning. That golden Ganni dress is just incredible and looks great on her. I got it in my own closet. In reality it looks even more magnificent. An amazing dress that can cause a stir at all times. Would love to have seen how she wore it this time. But there is no doubt in my mind that it is in fact that dress she is wearing. Wonderful. The coat you already know all about - it is from Jesper Høvring (collection: Great Greenland AW 2016). Her dark grey Naledi Copenhagen clutch is not the perfect match next to her golden dress, but it do great with the sealskin coat. Match made in heaven? Again I spotted a golden Cartier bracelet such as several pieces from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Is she wearing earrings too? - yes, but the pictures are blurred and I can't tell anything more. Oh, of course I almost forgot mentioning the dazzling black Gianvito Rossi pointed pumps. I wouldn't mind having my own pair of Rossi pumps.

From the second the two traveling companions arrived to Burkina Faso, all their attention were given to those around them - from organizations member to locals sharing their stories with the two foreigners from Denmark. On this second and last day in Burkina Faso, the Crown Princess began her day by visiting the Schiphra Center, who among other things offers treatment of severe complications do to given birth. Here she and Minister of Foreign Affairs, were given a guided tour around the maternity ward and operating room to see under which conditions hundreds of women are being helped to give birth. It was a really emotional Crown Princess, who sat down and talked with some of the women who have had birth complications and, which has been operated at the Schiphra Center. She later expressed to the press, how impressed she was of the dedicated doctors and strong women on the center. The Crown Princess and Kristian Jensen also payed a visit to the Delwende Center in Ouagadougou. About 250 women live at the Delwende Center. The women are being accused of being witches. The center gives protection, offer a home, serve meals etc. She and the Minister of Foreign Affairs also attended a guided tour to see for themselves some of the activities the women at the center make: spinning of cotton, grain sorting and growing vegetables. Many personal stories were shared, and even dancing took place to drum music. The Crown Princess joined the women for a dance.

Before they paid a visit at ABBEF in the capital city Ouagadougou, who works to promote access to sexual and reproductive health services, especially for poor and marginalized young people, the two travelers attended lunch with representatives for equality of women's rights in Brukina Faso. At the ABBEF Youth Information Center, the Crown Princess had an open and honest dialogue with the young people about gender equality, family planning and birth control. Both Danish guests asked about wishes, future, possibilities in life etc. Especially one young man was proud to tell about his future wishes to improve his skills in some of the areas, which is on the agenda at Women Deliver. According to Billed Bladet, here, this young man had especially one wish - to attend Women Deliver, and within seconds the Crown Princess invited him attending the conference. It was then suggested that a young lady from the center also should attend. This two days official visit to Burkina Faso ended with a evening reception at the Ambassador's residence.

Day 1. Official visit to Burkina Faso

This trip to the western part of Africa, more specific Burkina Faso, was actually scheduled to take place in January earlier this year, but because of a terrorist attack in the capital city Ouagadougou, it was decided to postpone the Crown Princess visit. Then suddenly I find out that she is on her way to Burkina Faso and is already landed, when I first hear about the visit. The Crown Princess arrived yesterday in Burkina Faso, to stay there for two days along with by Minister of Foreign Affairs,  Kristian Jensen. The two of them have on several occasions worked together and been on foreign visits like this which focuses girls' and women's sexual and reproductive health and rights, as well as gender inequality and Denmark's development do to aid efforts in the country. 

Before the departure from Denmark, Kristian Jensen have expressed how pleased he is for the Crown Princess commitment to make a difference. As one of the poorest countries in the world, Burkina Faso is supported by Denmark providing access to among others information about connected to giving birthday and pregnancies such as handling issues like gender equality and violence against women. Denmark's support to Burkinabe families goes back to 1973, here.

While her husband was visiting Danish troops in Iraq, she met with women at a local health center in Korsimoro, who had come there for a consultation. With her was Kristian Jensen. The visit to Korsimoro was then followed by a visit to a nearby Kamsé village. The two foreign guests were warmly welcomed and received four chickens and a goat as gifts on behalf of their visit. 

After a quick change of clothes, the two traveling companions attended a meeting with Burkina Fasos President, which took place at the presidential palace in Ouagadougou. The Crown Princess also met a young mother at 15, living in Ouagadougou with her two month old daughter. With help from her grandparents, she manages to go to school. It was simply wonderful to watch the meeting between the two of them - the Crown Princess, the young mother and her daughter. I think a meeting like this is why she find it so important fighting for better and equal opportunities for women and girls around the world. In the evening, the Crown Princess and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, attended an official dinner on behalf of their visit to Burkina Faso.

Day of Research 2016

Monday, April 25th

As patron, Crown Princess Mary attended the official grand opening of Day of Research 2016, here. Here she also presented the Research Communication Award 2016, here. It all took place at the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen.

At yesterdays event, she attended both the official opening of the Day of Research 2016 and to hand over the Research Communication Award 2016. The Day of Research is organized by the Ministry of Education and Research. The setting was a little different then what we are use to see the Crown Princess in, because it all took place at the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen. Here several professors and prominent figures from the Zoological Museum, were invited along with the Crown Princess, who by the way (of course) attended as guest of honor.

The Crown Princess arrived around 10:00 am local time, where she was welcomed with flowers and lots of smiles. Shortly after her arrival, she entered the stage and gave the opening speech followed by a speech professor and psychologist Barbara Hoff Esbjørn, who received this years Research Communication Award for her work and research anxiety disorders in children. Along with Minister of Education and Research, Ulla Tørnøs, the Crown Princess visited four different areas of the festival including topics as mushrooms and DNA.

All of it seemed to have her sincere interest while walking around the festival in the rooms of Zoological Museum. These four projects is a part of the citizens science, where citizens contribute with their knowledge and collect data that is then processed by different researchers. Among other things, the Crown Princess was impressed to hear about the more than 50 ant species.

The weather is really not something special in Denmark these days. We both have warm days, but also many days with rain, wind and even snow. It's cold and foggy. A weather like this takes both woolen coats and knitted scarves to keep warm. But not Mary. She showed up wearing white, a skirt and bare legs. Not in a million year would I do anything like that. She was dressed in lots of different shades of white, a shawl and some other interesting accessories. We have seen the both blouse and skirt before. The skirt is a classy model from DAY Birger et Mikkelsen, first seen when she attended the Loveing Measure event, here. This skirt is now also a part of my Mary-wardrobe and I simply love it. The blouse has troubled me quite a lot. After all, it was found at Prada. Surprise. Identified by Kate, I know that Ganni designed her new white poncho featuring colored details.

She also embraced the style by wearing white pearl earrings and a bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Mixed with diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, she won my heart. When talking about accessories, I cannot help myself from getting really excited about her snake skin belt. Fabulous, right? Does any of you remember it? The belt goes quite a few years back in time. We first saw it around the time, when she and her husband featured an interview in 2005, which was published in an Australian newspaper, here. Then seven years later, she showed up wearing the belt once again, here. Somehow I always adored this Prada belt. Looks good on her, right? This time she matched her outfit with nude leather from Prada and a suede clutch from Hugo Boss.

Wonderful to see the two of them together, all though Queen Margrethe is host of the visit. On their second and last day in Denmark, H.E. Enrique Peña Nieto and Mrs Angélica Rivera had a lot to do .many places to see and lots of people to meet. From early morning the Crown Princess and Mrs Rivera visited the kindergarten Ådalen, who works with the Mary Foundation's 'Free of Bullying' program. They were both warmly welcomed at the arrival by children with red and white flag waving in the wind. Mrs Angélica Rivera and the Crown Princess were handed over a wonderful bouquet of flowers each. Mrs Rivera seemed to enjoy the time accompanying the Danish Crown Princess on a "regular" visit. With great proud the children showed some of their drawings and told stories. It gave a smile on both women's faces to talk to the kids in Ådalens kindergarten. During the visit Mrs Rivera was introduced to some of the tools from the Mary Foundation's Free of Bullying-program, which is developed to prevent bullying for children in the age of kindergarten and pre-school.

While the Crown Princess and Mexico's first lady enjoyed the morning together, the Crown Prince and President H.E.

Each day we get closet and closer to summer, more sun and that time a year were we are able to wear dresses without tights. That's really not something Mary takes that serious, because at the most crazy time a year we see her with bare legs and a knee-length dress. Chilly, but she actually looks like she doesn't care. Yesterday we were lucky because she was wearing on of her beautiful reused Prada dresses. We have seen it several times, both with and without the removable peplum. This time she wore it with a belt instead. In 2014 she wore the exact same combination -dress, coat and clutch, when the Queen hosted a state visit from Turkey, here. Mary embraced the style by wearing her blue Quidam clutch and leather gloves. She had then chosen patent pumps in pink from Gianvito Rossi. And what a wonderful combo with the rest of the outfit. I was so sure she would wear these pumps at the gala dinner last night but I was mistaken. I missed it by one day. Oh... of course, the white coat is also from Prada as with the dress. Without looking overdressed (at all) she added large pearl bracelets and earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry such as rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. I'm simply stunned by everything I see. Once again a huge compliment to  Mrs. Angélica Rivera in her matching white set.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attending the return dinner at D'Angleterre

President H.E. Enrique Peña Nieto and Mrs Angélica Rivera hosted a return dinner that took place at Hotel D'Angleterre in Copenhagen. 150 guests were invited to the dinner to enjoy a well cooked meal, which is the way to say thanks for a couple of great days in Denmark from the Mexican Presidential couple. In order the royal family members arrived -first Princess Benedikte along with her lady-in-waiting, then Prince Joachim and Princess Marie, the Crown Prince couple next and last Queen Margrethe accompanied by her husband Prince Henrik. They were all welcomed by the President H.E. Enrique Peña Nieto and Mrs Angélica Rivera, who waited at the hotel ready to welcome all 150 guests and the Danish royal family.

Perfectly dressed as always Mary arrived with her husband to the return dinner at Hotel D'Angleterre. I would wear this outfit any time -for a night out with my friends or dinner with the family. These printed midi-skirts are incredibly popular and trendy right now. I have one in my wardrobe as well in a darker colour. We have seen her Ganni skirt before at INDEX: Awards 2015, here, even worn with the exact same blouse. A great match. I still have no idea where to find the blouse. Any ideas? She dazzled wearing a black lace shawl from Heartmade Julie Fagerholt. Not that its warm at all, but it looks so beautiful. The shawl was first seen six years ago on a visit to Budapest, here. Mary embraced a chic evening style by wearing black Gianvito Rossi pumps, two-tone earrings from Jewlscph and golden jewellery from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Rings and bracelet are all from Lynggaard's leaves collection. Then we have a rather long Bottega Veneta clutch seen now and then the past few years. Hair and makeup were beautifully suited for the rest of the outfit as always. Wish I could do my hair like this. Love how it looks all gorgeous. A really pretty look for an evening dinner.

The Australian Christmas

The day before Christmas Eve, I think it is about time to give you a resume on how the Crown Prince couple and their four lovely children have spend December in Australia. Because as you now, the family are going to celebrate Christmas in Tasmania with the Crown Princess' family for the first time in 11 years. What I know of the family arrived to Australia one of the first days in December. On December 3rd Mary visited the Children's House SIV, here, which was her last event before leaving the country.

As Daily Mail writes, here, the family have been seen in various locations from the Margaret River region to Ravensthope. Locals know how far these locations are from each other and to the rest of you; it is about six hours each way. They have been spotted at Cowaramup Bakery getting coffee, buying bubblegum in Gnowangerup IGA and enjoying some time with her brother John Donaldson at the Margaret River Chocolate Company in Swan Vally. Everywhere they go, they are  barely noticed. People describe them as down on earth and acting like everybody else.

About a week ago the Crown Princess was spotted shopping with her friend Amber Petty, Princess Isabella and Princess Josephine. In Australia the royal family also enjoy the rather good weather by swimming Mermaid Beach in Queensland. A few days before the 24th the crown Princess was also spotted with some of her friends south of Crystal Castle and Shambhala Gardens in Byron Bays hinterland, here, dressed in a grabbing outfit. She has also been last minutes shopping with some friends wearing white shirts, sipping a smoothie similar in colour to her blouse. Just a few days before the family returned to Denmark, they spend a few more days on the beach.

Update: I received a request from one of you, to do a more specific update on what Mary was wearing during her month in Australia. In first place I decided no to, because I think it is a private vacation and I think they should be on their own without journalists and photographers following each and every step. Still, this is a fashion blog about the Crown Princess, which is why I am now going to inform you about what she has been wearing -but no pictures. Only facts.
