Finally, the Mexican Presidential couple has now arrived to Denmark. Actually they arrived yesterday at Copenhagen airport around dinner time in one of the worlds most expensive plains.  President H.E. Enrique Peña Nieto and Mrs Angélica Rivera were warmly welcomed by Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik and the rest of the Danish royal family. Shortly after the welcoming ceremony, two crown cars drove to Fredensborg Palace -one with Queen Margrethe and President H.E. Enrique Peña Nieto and another car with Prince Henrik and Mrs Angélica Rivera, to officially welcome the couple. Like the welcoming ceremony at the airport, the ceremony at Fredensborg has become a tradition. While the Presidential couple are in Denmark they are staying at Fredensborg in one of the many rooms. In the meantime, the Crown Prince couple drove to Kronborg castle in Helsingør. About an hour President H.E. Enrique Peña Nieto and Mrs Angélica Rivera also arrived to Helsingør. All in a perfect mood the couple's were given a guided tour inside Kronborg to see, among others, the Banquet Hall also called the Dancing Hall. Then a little something to drink and then of to the M/S Museum of Maritime located close to the water just like the caste. Back in 2013 the Crown Prince couple visited Mexico, here, and have already met the Presidential couple once before. Both couples seemed to have had a really good day in each others company.

It was at 1:00 pm. local time the Mexican Presidential couple arrived to Copenhagen airport ready to spend two days in Denmark accompanied by the Danish royal family. In second raw was Mary standing. Lightning up like a true royal lady in her ombre Missoni coat. Thrilled to see her wear it again. I'm sure you remember it from their visit to Saudi Arabia and Qatar only a few months ago, here. Finally without black trousers. According to Royals & Fashion, hereare Mary's sky high pointed pumps are from Gianvito Rossi. Each year I think her pumps get higher and higher. Unbelievable how she is able to walk in those heels. I really can't get enough of black pumps. Super classy and elegant. Mary seems to have the same philosophy because of all the different pairs of black pumps she owns. Then we have the little grey Naledi Copenhagen clutch, which I really think is a great match to what she was wearing. It is one of her first Naledi Copenhagen purchases. At the arrival Mary had this beautiful hairdo wearing a hat -my guess would differently be a creation from milliner Susanne Juul. To loosen it up, she appeared without hat and hairdo when she and Frederik welcomed the Mexican Presidential couple at Kronborg castle in Helsingør a few hours later. She accessorized her look with a pair of black leather gloves, diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and pink diamond studs from Hartmann's. Aesthetic, stylish and extremely polished. By the way, I believe she added a Céline belt to create the illusion of an hourglass shape. A sincere compliment to Mrs Angélica Rivera because of her bright green dress.

Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik hosted a gala dinner in the evening at Fredensborg. As you know Prince Henrik retired in the beginning of 2016. Despite that he attended both the welcoming ceremony and yesterday evenings gala dinner. The arrival and the Queen's speech were broadcasted two hours after the actually arrival, which I of course watched. One by one, did the special guests arrive; ladies in magnificent dresses and gentlemen's in black suits. All cameras were set and ready for the royal family to arrive. First came Princess Benedikte, then Prince Joachim and his sweet wife Princess Marie who was dressed in a smashing red lace gown. They were followed by the Crown Prince couple. The reason why we didn't see Queen Margrethe, Prince Henrik and the Presidential couple arrive, is because they are all staying at Fredensborg where the dinner is held. Before the dinner, all guests were serviced a glass of champagne. From another entrance, the royal family members and the guests of honor found their seats around the long main table. With a remarkable speech Queen Margrethe opened the evening and warmly welcomed President H.E. Enrique Peña Nieto and Mrs Angélica Rivera in Denmark.

It's not the first time Mary choose to wear something as colourfull and bright as at this gala dinner. She was truly queen of the night. I was so excited when I first saw what dress she was wearing -a good old evening gown by Jesper Høvring (collection: Spring/Summer 2013). Høvring commented in the live broadcast but didn't mention anything about his own design worn by Mary. By the way do you remember the dress? She wore it back in 2013 at a dinner on occasion of the coronation of King Wilhelm-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, here. I hadn't forgotten about the dress, but it amazes me how much I like it. Actually Mary wore it one more time before last night. It was in 2012 when she attended a gala dinner on occasion of the wedding between Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg and Countess Stephanie de Lannoy in Luxembourg. Three very beautiful outfits. This time she has chosen to wear the red evening gown with golden glitter pumps from Gianvito Rossi and a brand new golden clutch. Pernille an Kate told me about her pumpsShe also dazzled wearing her stunning new tiara purchased at Bruun Rasmussen auctions along with a pair of matching earrings. I was also overwhelmed by her hairstyle. Did you notice it?

Crown Prince Frederik & Crown Princess Mary during the day

No time to resting. From early morning the royal couple were on the road. The first event planned for today was the opening of business promotion where the 44 Danish companies also participated. Accompanied by Minister of Health and Elderly Sophie Løhde and Minister of Business- and Growth Troels Lund Poulsen, the royal couple arrived to Al Faisaliah Hotel ready to attend the opening ceremony of the Danish Saudi Business Forum. Flower girls handed over nice bouquets to the Crown Princess at the arrival. Acting all calm, the couple entered the Prince Sultan Hall where the 300 invited guests were waiting, representing each and their own businesses. The 44 Danish companies were traveled all the long way to share knowledge, ideas and possibly contact information for future use with possible new Saudi Arabian companies. As a part of the opening ceremony the Crown Prince gave a speech, such as Ambassador Ole Frijs-Madsen. The Crown Prince also cut the red ribbon with a golden scissor helped by his wife and Dr. Zamil, Chairman of Riyadh Chamber of Commerce. Afterwards, the Crown Prince couple walked around Prince Sultan Hall and spoke to some of the Danish companies that were represented.
Crown Princess Mary also had a visit in Riyadh on her own where she met with Saudi Arabian business women together with Minister of Health- and Elderly Sophie Løhde. It made a big impression on her to meet these women, who live in a country where it's certainly not easy as a woman to move in the business world. To work for girls and women's rights is something she has expressed is really important for her. Clearly the meeting had a strong impact on her. 

I was right about the black trousers, it should not be the last time we came to see them. So far, I think Mary has handled the clothes situation really well. Despite the use of black, long trousers and bell-shaped coats I think she's doing good. A little strange to see her that covered up though I'm surprised how she manages to match clothes and still live up to the requirements there is. I understand why she's diligent and choose outfits that do not attract too much attention.Which I why I'm so glad to see her in this coat. It's a great balance between her usual workwear and restricted options. In a way this reminds me of something Queen Letizia would wear, I'm really not sure why. She's always seen wearing business wear, clean lines and print. By the way, I think this multicolour coat would look great on Queen Letizia as I did on Mary. Because it reminds me of Letizia's style, at first I was sure Hugo Boss could be the designer and I even found a similar coat but not exactly the same. I shared my thoughts with Lurdes and wupti, two seconds later she found it. Not at Boss but at Missoni. A designer I had not thought about at all. It's also quite some time since she has worn anything from that specific designer. Really what would I do without you? Therefor the honor goes to her! If I was you, I would take one more close look at this coat and the dazzling pattern. When you do that, take a notice of her hair too. A really lovely half updo, created of two separate twisted tufts of hair. I believe she was wearing her black SAND Copenhagen pumps and then of course, once again, Mary accessorized her look with the beautiful Carlend Copenhagen clutch. I see some brackets as well but the quality of the pictures are not good enough to tell which ones. The white pearl earrings and rings are from Marianne Dulong who, by they way changed their name to Dulong Fine Jewelry

Crown Prince Frederik & Crown Princess Mary attending dinner at Al Faisaliah Hotel

Attending gala dinner at Al Faisaliah Hotel in Riyadh, the Crown Prince couple greeted over 300 special invited people before the dinner was about the begin. The dinner was held to gather all representatives from the Danish Saudi Business Forum, which the couple attended earlier in the morning. Minister of Foreign Affairs Kristian Jensen, Minister of Health and Elderly Sophie Løhde and Minister of Business- and Growth Troels Lund Poulsen also participated the evening event. Lobster and lamp were, among others, served for dinner for the 300 guests including the Danish royal couple.

Usually we get to see Mary in some kind of evening dress when attending similar events. At yesterdays dinner she showed up wearing trousers and I loved it. Amazing to see how to style a pair of black trousers so many different ways. She matched the trousers with a coat never seen before. A very popular silhouette right now. Mary embraced it beautifully. It features a white colour block on sleeves and hemline. About the designers then I really don't know what to believe. A good friend of mine Kate showed me a model from Max Mara. Could be right but I can't tell for sure. Take a look and tell me what you think. The same goes with the new white blouse featuring embroidered details. So far we have seen her in international designers. As accessories Mary dazzled wearing black Gianvito Rossi pumps, beautiful earrings from Genius & Bach, a bracelet from Georg Jensen and that brilliant Carlend Copenhagen clutch. Once again she amazed me with her hairstyle and modest makeup.
