Happy Birthday!

February 05, 2026

The royal court celebrated Queen Mary's 54th birthday by releasing a new portrait of the Queen. It was taken a year ago by photographer Stine Heilmann for the Mary Foundation.

The Queen wore one of my favorite suits. It's set from Scanlan & Theodore. I always loved the dusty green color next to her dark brown hair. The rose colored blouse is still a mystery. A mystery I would like to solve but I haven't so far.

She accessorized the suit with exclusive pink diamond earrings from Hartmann's and a custom-made butterfly brooch - the Mary Foundation's logo.

Day 1. 100th anniversary with diplomatic relations between Denmark and Lithuania

30 September

Thursday morning, Crown Princess Mary arrived to Vilnius. She was about to stay in the capital of Lithuania for two days on occasion of the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Denmark and  Lithuania. She was warmly welcomed at the airport. Given flowers and greeted by the welcoming committee.

Her day had just begun. Crown Princess Mary's program of the day was packed with places to be, people to meet and things to see. But first, the official welcoming. It took place at the Presidential Palace in Vilnius. President Gitanas Nausėda and his wife Diana Nausėdienė welcomed the Crown Princess with open arms. She enjoyed lunch with the Presidential Couple before she headed off to a meeting with the President of the Lithuanian National Parliament Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen. The Crown Princess also visited Vytautas Kasiulis Art Museum with Mrs Diana Nausėdienė to attend the open the exhibition “Awakening of Nations”. In the afternoon, she paid her respect and attended a wreath laying ceremony. This is just to mention a few things from her first day in Vilnius.

In the evening, Crown Princess Mary attended a gala concert with musicians from both Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. The concert was arranged by the Danish Cultural Institute, which the Crown Princess is patron of. She was accompanied by, among other guests, Mrs Diana Nausėdienė. After the concert, Ambassador Hans Brask hosted a dinner at the Danish Embassy in Vilnius. Crown Princess Mary attended as guest of honor.

When Mary first arrived to Vilnius in Lithuania, she has chosen a comfortable outfit for her flight. The grayish JOSEPH coat looked great on her, but it covered a bit the rest of her outfit. Looks like Mary wore black wide-legged trouser and a matching blouse. Even though we have only seen a couple of photos from the arrival, we still get a glimpse of how she accessorized her travel-outfit. I see pink diamond earrings from Hartmann's (much loved by her), a couple of golden rings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a third one from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Mary also embraced a perfect look by wearing a Ralph Lauren bag.

Around noon, Mary kicked off today's program in a killer outfit! She wore her stunning Mark Kenly Domino Tan dress. What a beauty. She first wore the dress at an official visit to Italy in 2018 (here). Then again a year later in Paris (here). Cannot get enough of this dress and the Max Mara belt is a lovely addition. Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen is the talented master behind her golden diamond studded earrings and the magnificent leaf brooch. They also created the diamond bangle. I am crazy about Lynggaard's craftsmanship. The two other golden bracelets are from Rebekka Notkin and Cartier. Mary also wore two matching rings from Dulong Fine Jewelry. She topped of the look with a small Prada handbag and nude Prada pumps.

In the evening, she changed one more time. From white to bright blue. Her blue beauty is a reused dress from Cult Gaia. We first saw the dress, when Mary attended the 100th anniversary of Iceland's sovereignty in 2018 (here). At that time, I was not very in to the dress. I changed my mind. 100 %. She looks marvelous at the gala concert in Vilnius. Mary styled the dress perfectly with Dulong Fine Jewelry diamond earrings, a Cartier and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen bracelet. The pretty little blue box clutch is from Prada. The shoes are a mystery to me. They look suede and purple, but I need a bit more to say for sure where they are from. And I seriously love her hairstyle.

"We all have the responsibility to help fight solitude"

23rd December

We have not seen the Crown Princess that much in the last month. Instead, she and her family have sent a number of Christmas greetings. Several of them, is as chairwoman of the Mary Foundation. Like this ver special Christmas greeting, here. The Crown Princess highlighted a few things from the past year working to fight, among others, solitude as part of the Mary Foundations mission. Especially, young people and how they have been affected by the pandemic, has been close to her heart the last year.

The pandemic was also the main topic of the greeting she shared the day before Christmas Eve. On December 23rd. How COVID-19 have affected many perhaps for the first time and how it may have made some even more isolated. She speaks anxiously about the responsibility she believes we all have to take care of each other. We must all take part in fighting solitude.

Her greeting was recorded at Frederik VIIIs Palace at Amalienborg - the same place, where the family is celebrating Christmas.

Crown Princess Mary also shared a few words as patron of the WHO Regional Office for Europe, here. She found it particularly important to mention the professional dedication that has been shown by frontline health and care workers. She look forward to a new year with even more understanding and improvement of the healthcare system.

To me, she wore the perfect Christmas outfit. Red is mostly associated with Christmas and it fits this time a year perfectly. The bright red blouse is part of a set (blouse and skirt) created by the talented Danish designer, Claes Iversen. He already made many outfits for Queen Maxima of the Netherlands. Mary first wore this set in 2018, when attending a banquet on occasion of the P4G Summit, here. A year later, she wore the blouse and matching skirt at a concert and following dinner at Fredenborg, here. Queen Margrethe hosted the event to honor those who make an effort for the community between the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Denmark.

This time, Mary embraced the style by wearing her pink diamonds studs from Hartmann's and a couple of golden bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry. It looks to me like she also wore her golden bangle from Cartier. An amazing combination of jewellery. A close look revealed to me that her diamond rings are from, among others, Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. The third ring has never been identified. It goes back to around her birthday in 2012. Maybe a birthday gift from her beloved husband?

The stunning diamond butterfly, is the Mary Foundations symbol. Many years ago she started wearing these broches and then a few years back it turned into a diamond brooch. This one. Maybe also a gift? Mary completed her Christmas outfit with a beautiful makeup and lovely curls.

Antibulli swimming in Helsingør

22nd October

Crown Princess Mary had an important earring to do, when she arrived to Helsingør Swimming Club. She visited Helsingør with the Mary Foundation to focus on a better sense of unity and combat bullying in swimming amongst children. It is part of the project Antibulli Swimming. The initiative is by the Mary Foundation and Danish Swimming Union with support from TrygFonden.

She was in a particularly great mood, when arriving to Helsingør. All smiles and read for a chat. The children who participated yesterdays swim, gladly shared their positive experiences with the Crown Princess. Antibulli Swimming helps trainers with exercises and specific advice on how to strengthen unity and prevent bullying amongst the children. They even showed her a few of their exercises and it seems like they had a great time doing it.

Both Crown Princess Mary and the Mary Foundation work hard to make more and more children feel part of a community, especially in relation to leisure activities. With such words, the Crown Princess encouraged the children to keep up the good spirit.

Kongehuset ● PPE Agency ● Billed Bladet ● Billed Bladet ● Daily Mail

We have already seen quite a lot of really great outfits lately. Both when she attended the launch of World Hour 2020, here, met with WWF World Wild Fund for Nature, here, and at the 50th anniversary of The New Lillebæltsbro, here. When visiting Helsingør Swimming Club along with the Mary Foundation, she was also beautifully dressed in her old Hugo Boss suit. A navy blue beauty featuring some simple, but incredibly clever details. We have already seen this suit on two other occasions back in 2017. First, at the  UNGA conference in New York, here, and later at the Child Welfare Day a couple of months later, here.

Once again, she matched the blue suit with a casual white blouse. Even though Mary has surprised us more than once as Crown Princess, nothing surprised the world as much as when she wore her white Nike sneakers with her white Mark Kenly Domino Tan dress at a visit to Italy, here. In Helsingør, she repeated that success with great success. I do not think I would have chosen that pair of shoes, but Mary embraced the style with perfection.

Her outfit was not that overwhelming, but her jewellery were indeed impressive. I love when she wears this much jewellery. Gives her a more casual look. Sure, her jewellery are incredibly expensive, but Mary makes them look everyday-like. The pink diamond studs are from Hartmann's and the golden necklace is an old goodie from Orit Elhanati. She matched it with yet another necklace. A new one. I still do not know where it is from, but that style is really popular at the moment. I see bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Cartier, and another one still unidentified. Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen is the master behind Mary's golden diamond ring. Are you as thrilled as I am? Think she also brought with her, her caramel brown leather bag from Prada, here. We get a glimpse of it in the car, when Mary arrived.

50 years with the New Lillebæltsbro

21st October

In the morning, Crown Princess Mary attended the launch of a new project called World Hour. It is part of the global campagne World's Largest Lessen, here. With only a few hours in between, she later arrived in Middelfart to attended the celebration of something slightly bigger than usual.

In Middelbart she was warmly welcomed by people from near and far. They all wanted to get a glimpse of the future Queen. The Crown Princess was invited to attend the 50th anniversary of The New Lillebæltsbro. The bright connect Jutland and the island of Funen. The bright was officially opened on October 21st 1970 and was designed by the architects, Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen. Imagine designing a bright, right?

The anniversary was celebrated in both Middelbart and Fredericia - the two cities the bright connects. This is also why the Crown Princess was accompanied by both Mayor, Johannes Lundsfryd Jensen from Middelfart and Mayor, Jacob Bjerregaard from Fredericia. Seems like the three of them had a great time crossing the bright both by ship and car.

Even though the two events were separated by hours, Mary had time to make a quick change. First, she matched her tweed coat from Prada with fitted trousers. Later, attending the 50th anniversary she had changed to something way more comfortable - and warm. Just the way I would dress this time a year. Several layers of clothes. Mary embraced the chic fall outfit by wearing a cosy cable-knitted sweater and what looks like navy blue trousers. Because of the weather she did not only wear one coat, but two.

That long down coat kept her warm. The other one protected her from the rain. Both coats seems to be from Uniqlo U. Kate found her down coat and I managed to identify the other one. I figured that it comes in several different colors, but I believe I found the right color. I would not mind wearing this on a rainy day myself. Her knitted har perfectly matched the rest of her outfit. It is a reuse, but I have never managed to find out where it is from.

Despite she was all covered up we did get a glimpse of her jewellery. Like earlier during the launch of World Hour 2020, she was still wearing her jewellery from both Hartmann's, Dulong Fine Jewelry and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Her dark blue ankle boot are new too. I learned from Heaven that her new boots are from Prada. Incredible design.

Launching The World Hour 2020

21st October

The Crown Princess is indeed a busy woman these days. She has participated several meeting's lately and on Wednesday she attended the launch of a new project.

She arrived to Copenhagen City Hall as guest of honor to attend the very first World Hour 2020. The project is part of the global campagne World's Largest Lesson, which is all about raising awareness of the UN's 17 World Goals in primary and lower secondary education in Denmark. The big event was also broadcasted live.

Despite pouring rain, Crown Princess Mary was in a splendid mood. She was one big smile. Rasmus Prehn, Danish Minister of Development Corporation also attended the event. He was seated right next to the Crown Princess. 

Several speeches were given and football was played. Kind of, because everyone attending got a small football with the 17 world goals printed on it. This little "football game" was great amusement for everybody. Crown Princess Mary gladly participated.

For the launch, Mary had chosen to wear one of my favorite outfits. I simply love, when she wears that Prada coat and those fitted trousers as an outfit. We first saw that match in 2016, when she attended the opening of a new healthcare school, here. The coat originally goes back to 2010, here. For many years, she only wore is with dresses. But the last four years, she has preferred trousers. I like that change. What do you prefer?

She embraced the chic style with lots of interesting accessories. I am sure the first thing noticed, was her bright yellow Gianvito Rossi pumps. Impressive color. For years I have wished to see them worn with another outfit. Maybe that is going to happen one day. Nevertheless, they look magnificent with her tweed Prada coat. I wonder why she was not wearing any clutch or bag. Then I realized that her lady-ind-waiting wore one her of old Hugo Boss bag's. Maybe she had her carry her bag?

Mary's jewellery are also quite interesting. Seems like she is very fund of her pink diamond earrings from Hartmann's these days. The golden necklace is also an old goodie. It is her twisted golden necklace from Orit Elhanati. A closer look at her jewellery also reveals that she was wearing her engangement ring again along with a Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen ring. The several bracelets are a combination of new and reused pieces. One is brand new. A powder pink beaded bracelet, which has not been identified yet. Her three other ones are created by Dulong Fine Jewelry - of of them are new. All these bracelets makes me wanna try something similar. Are you inspired too?

"The BLOX - Built Back Better Summit "

1st September

Another wonderful day. First the Crown Princess participated in a guided tour around the BLOX facilities. 

Then she attended the opening of "The BLOX - Built Back Better Summit". Here she was warmly welcomed by CEO of Realdania, Jesper Nygård and Chairman of the Board of Realdania, Michael Brockenhuss-Schack. Philanthropy Director, Nina Kovsted Hel joined the two of them and welcomed Crown Princess Mary at the house BLOX, where the conference took place.

BLOX that housed the event is a gathering-point for both architecture, urban life and sustainability in Copenhagen. "Built Back Better" was first launched in 2015 by the United Nations. It is a concept that focuses on the rebuilding process of cities after having bit struck by a catastrophe. Now the concept has come to Denmark - and is hopefully here to stay.

With Crown Princess Mary front raw CEO of the United Nations Global Compact, Sanda Ojiambo and CEO of WHO Europe, Dr Hans Kluge gave the introductory speeches and officially opened the conference. Among other things, their speech touched the topic about those who are especially struggling at the moment due to the global pandemic.

And she strikes again! How is it possible for me to get impresses every single time Mary shows up at an event? After more than ten years following her every move, I still get overwhelmed by her sense of style - in more than one way. Really, what is not to like about this gorgeous outfit? We got something pink, something casual, something new and something old.

Her powder pink dress is brand new. Am I sure? - yes I am. The reason why you may think that we have seen this dress before is because Mary has the exact same dress in a bright red color. This one too is also from Marc by Marc Jacobs. Wish that dress was in my wardrobe. A stunning pieces I hope to see (soon) again. I always loved when she wore the other one and now I love it even more. Proves that good design can be replicated in several colors.

She embraced the style by wearing white and pink diamond earrings from Hartmann's. What better match, right? Once again, she wore plenty of smashing jewellery and I think we should take a look at them. Her love bracelet from Cartier was this time accompanied by three other golden bracelets. All from Dulong Fine Jewelry. A great way to wear more than just one bracelet. The black pearl ring is also a Dulong Fine Jewelry design.

And then she is back to wearing a clutch. This one is still unidentified and goes quite a few years back in time. I still do not know where to find it or even where to look. That is not the case with her shoes. They are from Gianvito Rossi.

The annual art competition

18th November

As patron of both the National Association for Mental Health (SIND) and the Psychiatry Fund Crown Princess Mary attended a very special event taking place at Copenhagen City Hall. More specifically, she attended the annual art competition arranged by Copenhagen Municipality.

The competition is for all employees working in the area of social psychiatry and people with a mental disorders and their relatives. With an event like this Copenhagen Municipality aim to give both citizens and their relatives the opportunity to become part of a community and of course make it a good experience for all participants.

Crown Princess Mary arrived in a great spirit. With a big smile on her face she took plenty of time listening, commenting, speaking and watching. She spoke with the participants and they gladly told her about their paintings and how it had being part of the competition. It was a wonderful sight to see when the participants and Crown Princess Mary met. All lit up at the sight of her and vice versa.

Attending the competition at Copenhagen City Hall Mary was dressed in a warm and cozy outfits. Personally I get why she was wearing a knitted sweater and long trousers. The weather is getting colder every day. I learned that Elena has been able to identify Mary's new knitted sweater as a Victoria Beckham design, here. If she is going to wear this piece as much as her other Victoria Beckham blouse then this is differently a sweater we will see again - more than one time. She embraced the style by wearing a brand new sleeveless blouse as well. It features an embellished collar and a blueish floral print. Kate managed to find her new blouse at Miu Miu. Great finds both of you.

She had chosen to accessorized her outfit with just a few things. To me it looks like she was wearing her old pink argyle and diamond studs from Hartmann's. When she first started wearing these stunning earrings, she wore them very often. But until now, we haven't seen them that much. I would really like to have them as part of my own jewellery collection - or something similar, but somehow I am not good with the design. The floor-length trousers almost covered the black pointed ankle boots from Gianvito Rossi.

Flag Day 2019

05 September

September 5th is a very special day for a lot of people. It is the official Flag Day for Danish soldiers abroad fighting for a better world. Both people that are in war areas and those who have been on a mission, are honor by this annual event. Since 2009 the event has taken place with a wreath laying at Kastellet, a church service in Holmens Church and with a ceremonial parade at the castle square at Christiansborg.

Both Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended all three ceremonial honors of the Danish soldiers. Each year is emotional. So was this year. Especially Crown Princess Mary showed a few tears of compassion. I imagine the atmosphere is not really to describable. I have never experienced it myself, but I am sure it is a something you have to experience to tell.

Personally I am impressed and honor that a rather small country as Denmark is able to make an annual event like this. It is with great pride I represent Denmark as Dane. Thanks to those who arranged Flag Day - it makes all of us proud. That is also why I think the Crown Prince Couple gladly attend every year.

Attending the event in Copenhagen, Crown Prince Frederik was dressed in his black uniform with matching gloves, orderer, a hat and polished shoes. Next to him, he had his lovely wife. She was looking gorgeous in a brand new dusty white double-breasted jacket. Several designers crossed my ming, but Heaven managed to find her new jacket at non the less than Alexander McQueen. I absolutely love everything about this new piece. The buttons, sleeves, peplum illusion, collar, etc. She matched it with a reused floral printed midi skirt from Andiata. A wonderful piece to show that summer is not over yet.

As accessories, Mary had chosen a wide-brimmed hat from milliner Susanne Juul. Actually she had the same model in both purple and beige as well. This black one is perfect for the occasion. She embraced the style by also wearing nude leather gloves, a Naledi Copenhagen clutch in the same color and power pink pointed pumps from Gianvito Rossi. All reused pieces worn on numerous occasions.

I spotted both a diamond ring from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and old diamond earrings, which I strongly believe is from Hartmann's. It is their style but nothing is proven yet. We also get a glimpse of a golden bracelet first worn recently. Duong Fine Jewelry is the creator.

Day 2. Official visit to the Faroe Islands

August, Friday 24th

- Arrival -
The arrival to Tórshavn on the Faroe Islands was a huge succes. Crown Prince Frederik and his wife Crown Princess Mary were warmly welcomed arriving to the islands along with all four children. In Tórshavn (and surrounding areas) the family enjoyed the day by visiting among others the Government buildings in Tinganes, a women's house and spending the evening in Nordens Hus. A wonderful day, here.

The following day it was time to visit Klaksvïk, Ósalund, Fugloy and Mikladal. The family arrived by the royal yacht Dannebrog around 9 o'clock. Mayor, Jógvan Skorheim and his wife Mrs Mígdis Skorheim welcomed the couple arriving to Klaksvík. It was a warmhearted and sincere welcoming. Time was also for greetings, handshakes and lots of smiles. Both the Crown Prince couple and all four children spend much time meeting the attendances. What a sight. We rarely see the whole family gathered like this. Makes me proud to have a royal family like this with prince's and princess' who make an "down on earth" appearance just as their parents. Guess that is why this particular family is loved so much by all of us.

And the family seems to enjoy it as much as the rest of us. They were one big smile all day long. Both when visiting Biskupstorg to see 3D plans for a new building project, Ósalund and a nearly 100 years old money institute.

When arriving to Klaksvïk Friday morning Mary was dressed, once again, in her personal national costume. It was given to her as a present from Faroe Islands National Assembly and Legislation, when she first visited the Faroe Islands in 2005 - we haven't seen it since. Mary's national costume comes with an apron and scarf og dark green wool featuring a Marguerite pattern. It is matched with a knitted sweater featuring snowflakes, coloured red and black. Her costume is also detailed with silver pieces which are designed specially for her. Mary was not the only one wearing her traditional costume. The rest of the family did too. Each costume has its own story to be read here.

On the second day on the Faroe Islands she embraced the style with a half updo, earrings from Hartmann's, diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, an Orit Elhanati necklace and a reused hairpiece. Did you noticed it? I still really want to get some pictures showing details from her outfit. That is not easy to find. We get a glimpse of her hairstyle in videos shared online. It is her old piece from PICO. This was first worn at the presentation of 'Crown Princess Mary's Scholarship' earlier this year, here. Not sure I would wear it myself but she makes it work perfectly. We could also take a lesson from the two princesses - Princess Isabella and Princess Josephine embraced the most amazing hairstyles as their mother.

- Visiting Fugloy & Mikladal -
On Friday the Crown Prince couple and their children also visited the island Fugloy and Mikladal as part of their official visit to the Faroe Islands. Arriving to Fugloy the family was kindly welcomed by mayor, Amalia í Frammistovu who also hosted a lunch for the family. In Fugloy the royal family went for a walk to see the incredible nature the islands have to offer.

Indeed it is a pleasure to see the family all together. Prince Christian seems to get along with the attention very well. He is having fun with his siblings and leading the way. Even Prince Vincent seem to feel much better in public. Princess Isabella and littler sister Princess Josephine stay close and enjoy the visit a bit more in silence. A least that is what I see.

Arriving to Mikladal on the island Kalsoy, the royal family was welcomed by Mayor, Jógvan Skorheim and Mrs Vígdas Skorheim - the same who welcomed the couple earlier in Klaksvík. They were about to visit a very special statue in Mikladal called 'Sælkvinden' (the Seal Woman).

All this and much more took place in the hours spend in Klaksvík, Fugloy and Mikladal till the visit ended around 4:00 pm. in the afternoon.

Time for other more practical clothes - and warm I guess. The whole family had changed from colourful national costumes to brownish outdoors clothes. The children matched each others perfectly. Crown Prince Frederik kept warm in a more greenish outfits, while Mary was wrapped up in a checkered bottom-down shirt, a grey woolen sweater found at Ralph Lauren (collection: POLO Ralph Lauren), a quilted vest and a jacket. It is all about keeping warm. Trousers and boots from Salomon made the job as well.

Though it is a visit transmitted all over the world we only have very few quality pictures of her outfit. Kate managed to see a logo on her jacket and identified it as Härkila. I found that the trousers are also from Härkila. Don't think we have seen either bottom-down shirt or the grey sweater before. The hat we have, as well as the cuff warmers (actually I have no idea what they are called in English. Correct me if I am wrong). These was worn at the Hubertus Hunt in Dyrehaven last year, here. Not much else to say; she also wore a pair of diamond earrings which could be Hartmann's.

Day 1. Official visit to the Faroe Islands

August, Thursday 23rd

Now it is time for what we all have been waiting for for a really long time. Think it was a couple of months ago that the news about the Crown Prince couple and children were going on an official visit to the Faroe Island was announced. Little is better than an official visit.

Than on Thursday 23rd the royal couple and their children arrived to Tórshavn on board Dannebrog. While visiting the islands they are also staying at the royal yacht. At the arrival all six royals were warmly welcomed by the Prime Minister, Aksel V. Johannesen who also gave a speech on this very special occasion. Hundreds of people had also arrived to the harbor getting a glimpse of the royals. Greetings were exchanged countlessly in Tórshavn.

During their first day on the Faroe Islands the program was packed from arrival to late evening. Among other things the Crown Prince family visited Government buildings in Tinganes were the official welcoming took place. Along with his father Prince Christians visited the educational institution Glasir. Meanwhile the Crown Princess visited the daycare Býlingshúsið undir Fjalli. In the afternoon Prince Christian joined his parents visiting Lagtinget. Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine were all seen at the arrival in a happy spirit.

Many pictures and videos have been published of the family. The Danish royal house has also shared pictures of them, here.

Usually we get to see Mary wear the most incredible and outstanding outfits while she's on official visits. So is her handsome husband. This time things are a bit different because the couple and their four children arrived wearing each their national costume from the Faroe Islands. Each costume has its own story:

The Crown Prince received his red, blue and green costume as a gift from Faroe Islands Governance and Lagting back in the days. Crown Princess Mary received hers back in 2005 at her first official visit to the islands, here. Its silver pieces are specially designed to the Crown Princess. On occasion of the children also visiting the Faroe Islands; each child were given their very own national costume. Prince Christian's suit is a gift from Tórshavn municipality, while Princess Isabella's costume is from Sunda municipality. The national costume worn by Prince Vincent is a gift from Runavik municipality and Princess Josephine's is from Klaksík municipality. All the costumes goes with a longer story which can be found, here.

Mary embraced the style of her national costume by wearing stunning Hartmann's earrings, a Dulong Fine Jewelry- and Cartier bracelet and diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Her hair was beautifully created in an updo seldom seen lately.

- Dinner -
It had already been a long day when the Crown Prince couple arrived to Nordens Hus for dinner - and dancing. The dinner was hosted by Prime Minister, Aksel V. Johannesen. Earlier in the morning he was the one welcoming the couple with an exquisite speech. Along with his wife Mrs Katrin D. Apol, he welcomed the royal couple arriving to Nordens Hus. From everything I see both Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary were in a splendid mood beginning of the evening.

Pictures from the dinner show an entertained Crown Prince couple. During the dinner Crown Prince Frederik also gave a remarkable speech which seemed to make his wife very proud. A dinner was not the only thing the couple attended that night. They also participated a dance - hand in hand with everybody else. Sining and dancing was a joyful part of the program. A video has been posted down below. Everything seems so relaxed, right?

Not much had changed from since the arrival in Tórshavn earlier in the morning. Still it is worth commenting. At the dinner Mary had her hair down and only in a half-updo. This she had embraced with two silver pieces which I think we have seen at a couple of previously occasions. She has similar ones in golden as well. She then wore large floral diamond earrings which was also worn when attending 'the Who Award' in 2017, here. At the time they were identified as being purchased on auction at Bruun Ramussen.

Actually she had just created an entirely new outfit with different accessories. That also goes with the shoes she had chosen to wear. Heaven and her sharp eyes noticed a new pair of ankle strap pumps. She managed to identify them as Chloé. I am sure they are both comfortable to wear all evening and to dance in. Heaven also shared her thoughts with me about a new clutch. Unfortunately I have not been able to verify this idea. Although I think she could be right from what I have seen so far. To all photographers and medias; please share a few more close-ups with us. That would be great. Think many of us would also like to see details from the national costumes. That is simply not possible with what we have got so far.

On a sunny Tuesday the Crown Princess arrived to Slagelse, where she was warmly welcomed with smiles, flags, greetings and flowers. The reason for her visit was to inaugurate the newly build emergency hospital in Slagelse. A new extension to the hospital was also inaugurated during her visit. The Crown Princess was in a splendid mood when she was met by the public and welcomed by Regional Council Chairman Heino Knudsen and Hospital Director Vagn Bach. As part of the official inauguration ceremony she cut a red ribbon. Afterwards, the Crown Princess was given a guided tour around the new facilities to see for herself, what she had just inaugurated. I can't help myself from getting in a great mood just looking at her smile and how happy she made everyone with her presence.

A inauguration is always a big thing, which takes a perfect outfit to complete. I don't know about you, but I have completely fallen in love with this outfit. From head to toe. What is not to love? She embraced a feminine style by wearing a reused Elise Gug (collection: 2013) blouse. The blouse has been worn at countless other occasions, here, here & here. Mary then matched the blouse with a brand new powder pink skirt. I have not been able to identify the skirt yet. Do you have any ideas? I tried everything, but nothing seems to get my closer to find the one. As accessories Mary had chosen to reuse one of her beautiful Susanne Juul hats. Maybe you recall her wearing it when visiting Poland in 2015, here. Such a magnificent design. Wish we wore hats mor often today. Then I would wear something like this every day. She also wore stunning jewellery from both Hartmann's, Orit Elhanati, Dulong Fine Jewelry (collection: SS18 limited edition) and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. I am sure you can identify all of them without my help. Last but not least, Mary paired the outfit with python pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Simply a wonderful mix of colours, textures and silhouettes. I tend to say this is a dreamy outfit, which makes me desire spring even more.

Visiting Mali

October 23-24th

The Crown Princess was suppose to visit Senegal along with Minister of Development Ulla Tørnæs during this week, but was canceled last week for security reasons -no one really knows the exact reason for the cancellation. The visit to Senegal had focus on child marriages. Because the visit had been canceled, I think many of you had wished to see the Crown Princess attend the concert held at Fredensborg Castle on Tuesday hosted by the Queen, here. Am I right? Well, that didn't happen because Crown Princess Mary attended a conference about reproductive health and child marriages in Mali from October 23-24th. Minister of Development Ulla Tørnæs accompanied the Crown Princess in Mali. The Crown Princess met with, among others, Mali's First Lady Keita Aminata Maiga who also attended the conference, which by the way, was organized by UNFPA -the United Nations Population Fund, here.

The visit also gave her a chance to pay a visit to Danish soldiers and several members of the Danish Home Guard under UN peacekeeping mission MINUSMA, here. During her visit at the camp she got a guided tour around 'Camp Bifrost', saw a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft from inside, here, and enjoyed a meal with the deployed soldiers. As last agenda the Crown Princess gave a speech, which I imagine was an honest and honoring speech right from her heart.

Let's not forget what all this was about: reproductive healthcare, the fight against child marriages as well as girls and women's rights. Nevertheless, Mary wore some pretty incredible outfit's during her stay in Mali. In total we got three very different outfits. I haven't been able to figure out exactly when she was attending what -you know if she visited the camp on October 23rd or 24th etc. Still, I would like to pay attention to her clothes for a short moment by mentioning what I have been able to identify so far. It is always a dilemma for me if I should even be mentioning anything about fashion when Mary is working with a committed heart to fight for girls and women's rights such as reproductive healthcare and combat child marriages. Which is why I keep it to a minimum. I hope you understand and respect my decision.
