Queen Margrethe's 79th birthday

16 April

Queen Margrethe celebrated her 79th birthday at Marselisborg Castle in Aarhus. She was joined by the Crown Prince Couple and their four children on the big day. It is not the first time she celebrates her birthday at Marselisborg. It also happened in 2006, here, and in 2014, here. Five years ago Prince Joachim and Princess Marie, and their children also celebrated the Queen. That was not the case this year.

Many Danes showed up at castle in Aarhus to congratulate the Queen on the 79th birthday. Seems like she was in a splendid mood. Surrounded by her family, celebrated by the public and in perfect spring weather I imagine it was a wonderful day.

Both Crown Prince Frederik, Crown Princess Mary and their four children were happy faces. Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine received flowers from a few of the attendances and proudly handed them over to their grandmother.



The Queen herself had chosen to wear a mix of dark grey, brown and blue. She matched her outfit with a bright red lipstick. She is one good-looking woman. All the boys dazzled in causal suits, meanwhile Princess Josephine and her older sister stunned in pleated skirts. It was also noticed that Princess Isabella wore one of her mothers old coats from Massimo Dutti, here.

To celebrate her mother-in-law Mary showed up wearing an reused Martin Grant dress. When she first wore it at the premier of The Nutcracker in Tivoli in 2015, here, I completely fell in love with this dress. Especially the amazing green color. The dress comes with a bronze belt, which she flashed for the first time on the Queen's birthday. She embraced the style with a brand new green coat. Heaven managed to identify the new coat as Theory. Hope we soon get to see it again and by then get a closer look - as with the dress.

Seems like she's fan of simple accessories at the moment. Once again Mary stunned wearing a bright green ring. I still do not know where it is from, but it looks old. Then we got her brand new white pearl earrings. They feature a green stone, a star shaped diamond and white pearls. Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen now confirmed that they created her stunning earrings. I also noticed her wearing bright colored nail polish. What a lovely color-combo. And a great match with the Nadia Shelbaya necklace and the green emerald ring from Annikat.

What a lovely surprise! I was not aware that the royal family would attend the ballet premiere of The Nutcracker but it is just a wonderful 1st December gift for all of us. Queen Margrethe has been involved in the scenography and has designed all costumes, which by the way is not the first time. Nor is it the first time Queen Margrethe has invited the royal royal couple and their children to see the Christmas ballet. This year all four children attended along with their parents. The ballet took place in Tivoli Concert Hall. Also Countess Alexandra, her youngest son Prince Felix and his brother Prince Henrik were present such as Queen Anne-Marie. I wonder why Prince Joachim, Princess Marie and of course Princess Athena were not attending too? Well, the royal family members arrived around 7 pm. local time and clearly they had a great -even before the ballet started. I am sure they enjoyed the beautifully Christmas decorated Tivoli. The Queen entered the stage after the performance and the audience loved it!



It feels like a year since we have seen Mary and it's really just a week or so. But I have lost sense of reality the last week. So I am thrilled to see her at this unofficial event. With just this one outfit I am already inspired to do something similar on my own. In the dark Mary dazzled in a reused caramel coloured Oscar de la Renta coat. A splendid colour this time a year. Last time we saw it was at King Carl Gustav's 70th birthday celebration in April, here. No doubt that I'm excited to it again. And my increased heartbeat does not end here because she was wearing both new pumps and a brand new tartan scarf! Never thought we would see her wear anything like this new scarf. Do you like it? I think it looks great combined with the coat. Don't you think? We'll get back to the shoes. A couple of images appeared of her without the coat and to me it differently looks like a new dress featuring some symmetric dots. With help from Heaven the dress has now been identified as Martin Grant. She accessorized her outfit with a Carlend Copenhagen clutch, Jewlscph earrings, a ring and her golden Cartier bracelet. Perfectly matching the multi-colour scarf Mary had red nails and the most amazing berry lips. Simply gorgeous! Now back to the shoes. Also brand new. I do not know if you recognized the style, but I did right away. Valentino! A new pair of rockstud pumps in green! I simply adore these pumps; how a classic pump meet the more edgy rivet is just great. Can't wait to see her wear them again. Note that I finally was able to find them in the right colour. Of course I also have to mention that she was wearing green leather gloves as well.
