Visiting nature gift project with WWF

17 May 2023

It was as patron for the WWF World Wild Fund for Nature that Crown Princess Mary visited Geding-Kasted swamp to fight for biodiversity.

The World Wild Fund for Nature has established a new home in Geding-Kasted swamp to house the small frog - the tree frog. Crown Princess Mary took part of inaugurate their new home.

She was accompanied by Jacob Bundgaard - Mayor in Aarhus, when setting free frogs and tadpoles. To create the perfect livingspace for the tree frog, she also helped plant trees.

It was a magical moment when Mary visited Geding-Kasted swamp. She was in a wonderful mood all dressed in comfortable and practical clothes. The lovely Härlika jacket is new, but I imagine she has worn it on private occasions. It is great for outdoor workings. The Seeland vest is a reuse worn on a number of different occasions. Like, when attending the Hubertus Hunt in 2022 (here). Mary matched her look with a light brown knitted blouse and greenish trousers. The fine cable-knit sweater is from Ralph Lauren.

What better than wearing new black rubber boots from Le Chameau.

If you take a close look, you will see that Mary actually wore quite a few pieces of jewellery as well. The fine diamond studded earrings are from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. The same designer also created her diamond bangle and matching rings.

I think she was wearing a golden bracelet are two as well, but I need more photos to confirm.

The wildlife garden at Fredensborg

29 June 2022

Crown Princess Mary has been President of the WWF World Wide Fund for Nature in Denmark for about two years now. She was asked to become President after her father-in-law passed away. Prince Henrik was one of the initiators of bringing WWF World Wide Fund for Nature to Denmark.

WWF World Wide Fund for Nature Secretary General Bo Øksnebjerg was invited to visit the Crown Princess at Fredensborg Castle, where the Crown Prince family lives (here). The royal couple once decided to make part of the private garden surrounding Kancellihuset all about wildlife. Plants were chosen to support biodiversity and make the garden more attractive to, among others, insects.

Along with a few photos from Bo Øksnebjerg's visit in the private garden, also comes a short interview. Among other, Crown Princess Mary mentions how much she loves nature and how fascinated she is of nature. She always loved all kinds of plants and flowers, but only the last few years it has become a true interest of hers to know more about the different fauna and flora.

I truly wish, I would look like that when wondering around in a t-shirt, trousers and rubber boots in my garden. I don't. Somehow, Mary manages to look great no matter time and place. Lately, she has been very fond of t-shirts. Let us admit it - Mary wear them with such elegance. I still need to identify this one (and many others). She matche the navy blue shirt with new Polo Ralph Lauren trousers. I learned about them trousers at UFO No More.

Mary embraced a chic garden-style by wearing a brown leather belt and greenish Le Chameau rubber boots. How many can brag about having seen their Crown Princess in rubber boots? Denmark can! We get a tiny glimpse of some golden jewellery as well. The two necklaces are from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin. The golden bracelet is rather new and still not identified. Maybe one day.

#ForNaturenWWF

21st May

May 22nd is UN's International Biodiversity Day. On that occasion, Crown Princess Mary is launching a new digital project on Instagram called "Together for Nature" (Sammen for Naturen). Bo Øksnebjerg, General Secretary for WWF World Wild Fund for Nature accompanied the Crown Princess for this very special occasion.

The project is really all about gathering people and their joy for nature. The hashtag "ForNaturenWWF" gives people the opportunity to share their own photos of nature. WWF World Wild Fund for Nature encourage people to share a little about where the photo was taken. Every week has its own theme. First theme is named "Forest & Land" (Skov & Land). If any of you Danes would like to participate this wonderful and exciting project that "Together for Nature" is, then you have from May 22 to June 11 to share all our amazing experiences with nature. Read a little more about the project here. Every week one or two photos are highlighted; chosen by a jury - in which the Crown Princess is also part of. Wauw I like this idea!

As President of WWF World Wild Fund for Nature, Crown Princess Mary also share a short statement on occasion of the launching. Her last frase is my favourite. She says: "The more we pay attention to what happens in nature, the more we are willing to take care of it". Let us take care of nature together - it is vitally informant for us in so many ways. Crown Princess Mary also shared a photo of her own with us under the hashtag "ForNaturenWWF" (the third photo embedded).

Sharing a moment with Bo Øksnebjerg, the General Secretary of WWF World Wild Fund for Nature, Mary had chosen the most lovely and relaxed outfit. In many ways it reminds me of her look in an interview with Politikken back in 2004 (here). I know there are not much resemblance in what she is actually wearing, but somehow the atmosphere is kinda the same to me. What do you think? Am I all wrong in this assumption?

She embraced a chic outfit by wearing a brand new pink pinstriped button-down shirt. I strongly believe we have not seen this before, but maybe she has worn it privately. I like that thought. She matched it with a moss green quilted vest from Seeland. A reused vest worn twice before. At the annual Hubertus Hunt in Dyrehaven in 2017 (here) and when the family payed a visit to the Faroe Islands in 2018 (here). So far, I have no idea where to find it. I have not been able to identify it. Jeans topped of her looks perfectly.

Otherwise, there are very little accessories to look for. I see her wearing the golden Cartier bangle and a pair of rubber boots. To me they are new and I believe I was able the find the right model at Le Chameau. I know the color is all wrong.

Crown Princess Mary visisted Naturcenter Herstedhøje in Albertslund at 12:00 pm local time to attend the inauguration of the campaign Replant the Planet. Along with 120 local school kids, plenty of photographers and journalists the Crown Princess planted the first tree in what is going to be a new forest given the name 'Princess grove'. For several year the Crown Princess has been committed to attend all kind of campaigns to help the environment, develop sustainable solutions and get people to understand that it is our common responsibility. We only have one world and we need to take care of it -one way or another. Over 15,000 school children in Denmark participates in this project, which aim to teach children how you can do something about some of the many climate change we faces. Most countries around the world are committed to develop sustainable solutions and to implicate children in the project makes it more of a natural thing for them to take better care of our and their world such as the 'few' raw materials we have left. During the day everybody was allowed to plant their own tree and within the first week of November the 15,000 children will plant over 30,000 small new tree -oaks, beeches, birches. Wearing green rubber boots on her feet and with a spade in her hand, she nicely and perfectly planted her tree as the first one to mark the opening of Replant the Planet on a cold November day. Beside planting trees the children participate in several other activities in which the Crown Princess, with great curiosity, also attended.

Beside it was very funny and special to see her in rubber boots and with a spade in her hands were she always wears a expensive clutch or bouquet, one other thing was way more special. Because she brought with her a guest, we have only see at more private events. She brought with her Ziggy. A wonderful sight. Ziggy was a wedding gift from Dansk Kennel Klub to the couple when they got married in 2004. Ziggy was born in january 2005 and the couple got her in april.

November 2nd was a rather cold day and when your day is going with planting trees in the field, you need the right clothes. She even commented on her footwear: "It was a great I chose to wear my rubber boots" and she laughed afterwards. Planting trees requires the right footwear and again similar to Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, Mary wore her Le Chameau in a dust olive green colour that perfectly matched the, to us, new quilted jacket from Barbour. This jacket was really not easy to find. First of all because I had never heard about the brand before. It was identified by Kate and finally after two days looking everywhere to find it -I finally found it. Keeping the rest of her body warm she wore a dark grey turtleneck sweater, tight jeans and greenish knitted socks. Even in knitwear and rubber boots she looks just great. Wish that was how I looked wearing something similar -that is not the case.
