Day 2. Summer tour with Dannebrog

Thisted

August 26, 2025

Arrival in Hanstholm

King Frederik and Queen Mary have now arrived in Hanstholm. The couple were welcomed by Mayor Niels Jørgen Pedersen at Hanstholm Harbour where Dannebrog docked. They were officially welcomed at The Old City Hall in Thisted. Mayor Pedersen and his spouse accompanied the King and Queen on the carriage ride from the harbour to the city hall.

The royal couple then visited Naturlandsbyen (the natur village) where they also enjoyed lunch. Followed a visit at Surf & Work and The landing site in Vorupør.

I love the idea of a summery outfit! That dusty-colored printed ME+EM dress is simply remarkable - especially for the event. The hat was a wonderful addition to match the softness of the dress. It goes way back in time to when she was pregnant with Crown Prince Christian in 2005. Mary also did a great job with the other accessories: stunning powder pink sling-back heels from Gianvito Rossi and later ballet flats from Prada. What is not to like? Even her Max Mara handbag matched perfect in color. BUT...

She lost me when choosing a black chopped jacket. Indeed I like the Prada jacket but not with this dress. I think it mix up the experience in an odd way. What was your first thoughts?

Mary also wore a number of different pieces of jewellery. Like the beautiful white south sea pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry. A couple of bracelets (and her ring) from the same designer and Rebekka Notkin. Louise Grønlykke created her fine necklace. The sunglasses are from Thierry Lasry.

Reception

King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted an evening reception for invited guests from Thisted municipality. The reception took place at Dannebrog in Hanstholm Harbour.

Mary looked like a dream at the reception! She captured everybody in her brand new white ME+EM dress. It has such an elegant silhouette and the detailing is incredible. Just look at the sleeves. Can't wait to see when she is going to wear it again. I already imagine a fine dinner or evening event. The classy white coat is a reuse from BOSS.

What caught my eyes first is hair outstanding hairdo! Always loved when she is having these soft and curly hairstyles. Makes any outfit complete on a whole other level.

Pretty sure we have seen the diamond earrings before but I have never been able to identify the designer. Her beautiful Louise Grønlykke necklace and Rebekka Notkin bracelet are a wonderful match.

Day 1. Summer tour with Dannebrog

Frederikshavn

August 25, 2025

Arrival in Sæby

King Frederik and Queen Mary are once again on a summer tour around Denmark traveling with Dannebrog. Last year the couple visited Bornholm, Ærø, Assens and Vejle. This year they will be visiting Frederikhavn, Thisted, Læsø and Samsø. The tour will last from August 25th to 28th.

On Tuesday the King and Queen arrived in Sæby and was warmly welcomed by Mayor of Frederikshavn Karsten Thomsen. They were officially welcomed with a service in Sæby church. Then followed a visit at Sæby Glassblowing and a walk in the city of Sæby.

Around noon they enjoyed lunch at Skovhuset in Bangsboskoven. Skovhuset worked as home of the the forester's for about 250 years. Today it is a gathering place for teaching, meeting rooms and nature events.

I love the idea of a ruffle blouse, a plain midi skirt and a short jacket. Somehow I am not quite sure I think it worked out as intended. Personally I would have chosen another jacket with the skirt or another skirt for the jacket. What do you think?

Nevertheless, I am thrilled to see her wear the blue Prada jacket again. We haven't seen it since 2013 when Mary attended the CHIO Equestrian  Festival in Düsseldorf. Imagine if she had worn it is a matching set when arriving in Sæby! She embraced it with a reused Athé Vanessa Bruno blouse and a unidentified dark blue midi skirt.

Mary styled the outfit with a beautiful hairband purchased from Miss Haidee Millinery and a lovely raffia clutch. The brown Gianvito Rossi heeled sandals were a great choice to enhance the beauty of the other brown accessories. When having lunch at Skovhuset Mary switched to a pair of Prada flats. The sunglasses are from Ray Ban.

She wore white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry, a necklace by Louise Grønlykke and bracelets from both Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin. I am still very interested in learning about her three-part diamond ring. The watch is Cartier.

Visiting Råbjerg Mile

In the afternoon the couple changed clothes and went for a visit at Råbjerg Mile - a very unique sandy area located between Frederikshavn and Skagen. The sand is moving around 15 meters a year. The royal couple were given a guided round by the Junior Ragere which is an initiative by Frederikshavn municipality to educate young people in the age of 11-13 as junior nature guides.

They also paid a visit at Ancher's House and visited Grenen. Grenen is Denmark's northernmost point. It is where the two ocean's Kattegat and Skagerrak meet.

What is better than a good old casual outfit? I truly love Mary's casual looks. Like the one she wore when visiting Råbjerg Mile. She paired a pair of soft linen short with a simple white button-down blouse and dark knitted jumper. Non of the items have yet been identified.

Her accessories are Ray Ban sunglasses, a golden Cartier watch and chic NIKE sneakers. Mary chose the same jewellery as earlier that day: stunning white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry, a diamond necklace from Louise Grønlykke and bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin.

Reception at Dannebrog

After a long day the King and Queen hosted a reception at Dannebrog for invited guests from among others Frederikshavn municipality. Dannebrog was docked at Gl. Pier Skagen Harbour. It was a magical evening with fireworks and warm greetings from everyone in Frederikshavn municipality.

I am not sure I have words enough to describe how much I adore Mary's new Vilshenko dress! It is the most magnificent piece of clothes I have seen in a very long time. The colors are exquisite and the print is dazzling. Love how she matched the red floral print with brand new red earrings. Any ideas where they are from? She first wore them in 2012 at a private birthday celebration at Klampenborg and then again when visiting Chile in 2013.

Her other jewellery are bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin. Simple is everything because of the printed dress. Perfect as she is Mary matched the dress with red suede pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

I feel this outfit makes mixed emotions amongst you. Am I right? I am totally in love with everything about it. The color, the different fabrics. Something classy and polish, and something feminine and elegant. I adore how she matched her Scanlan & Theodore suit with an old 2009 By Malene Birger blouse. She last wore the blouse in 2011 at the wedding of Prince Albert of Monaco and Charlene Woodstock. Even the belt matched! Did you know that Mary first wore the Prada belt in Australia in 2005?

Mary embraced the outfit with stunning white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a smashing ring. The ring is a reuse but I have never been able to identify it. Could it be a custom-made? Her hairpiece is created by Danish milliner Susanne Juul.

What is not to like? Even her Jimmy Choo pumps matched the colors of her outfit. Somehow I have come to love this outfit even more writing about it.

I am aware that Princess Isabella and her younger sister Princess Josephine have become quite an interest to many of you. So I decided to share my knowledge about their outfits as well. Princess Isabella looked amazing in a bright orange suit from Harris Wharf London and her mother's Prada blouse. She embraced the outfit with Aquamarine earrings, a golden Dulong Fine Jewelry necklace and brown suede Gianvito Rossi pumps.

Princess Josephine wore the most wonderful printed blouse from Zimmermann and simple white trousers. Very similar to the outfit her mother wore at the presentation of the National Teaching Award in 2023. The princess accessorized her look with golden jewellery from, among others, Dulong Fine Jewelry and cool black sling-back flats.

Mary had chosen a stunning navy blue dress created by Danish designer Søren Le Schmidt. He is indeed a talented tailor. The details are magnificent! Not quite sure I like the added Prada belt but I like the idea of something that emphasis her waist. Her dazzling diamond earrings are once purchased at an Bruun Rasmussen auction. The brooch is a masterpiece by Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. We also get a glimpse of python pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

Summer at Fredensborg

05 May 2025

King Frederik and Queen Mary were officially welcomed in Fredensborg at Kancellihuset where the family will be living during the summer.

They were welcomed outside Kancellihuset by people who had showed up to get a glimpse of the couple. The Mayor of Fredensborg also welcomed the couple with a speech. The girl's choir of Fredensborg Castle Church gave a small concert on the occasion followed by music and singing by Fredensborg Brass Ensamble.

Mary looked beautiful in a very casual outfit when welcomed in Fredensborg. She wore fine navy blue trousers and a reused linen blouse from Bagutta. A first glance her coat looked new but she has in fact worn it before. Among others at the presentation of the annual Christmas Stamp 2024. The belt is from Prada.

She embraced the style with cool golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a couple of necklaces from Nadia Shelbaya and Julie Sandlau. I am very interested in her rings. The diamond one is rather new. Looks like a three-in-one-piece. On her other hand is a more heavy silver ring. I noticed her wearing it at the inauguration of the REGAN Vest-trail back in April.

The dark blue suede boots from Prada are a great choice for the occasion.

Opening of "Danner of Denmark"

30 April 2025

Queen Mary attended the grand opening of the exhibition "Danner of Denmark" - an exhibition about Countess Danner. Her life is exhibited with personal and historical belongings at Frederiksborg.

The Queen was welcomed with flowers by flower girl Viktoria and Frederiksborg museum's CEO Ulla Tofte. The exhibition was declared officially open by Queen Mary's fine speech.

After her speech she was given a guided tour around the exhibition at the Princess corridor at Frederiksborg. Here Countess Danner got married to King Frederik VII.

Mary was beautifully dressed in a bright purple Prada blouse and a stunning black midi-length skirt from Mark Kenly Domino Tan. Both pieces are reused at previous occasions. Not quite sure I understand the combo but I kinda like it. Especially because she matched the skirt with black sling-back pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

It has been a long time since she has worn that amazing floral printed Paul Smith scarf. I always loved it. The colors are elegant en classy. A perfect match with the purple Carlend Copenhagen clutch.

I get it why Mary had chosen to wear Countess Danner's golden Citrine earrings but not the greatest color with the purple theme. Or what it your opinion? Her huge Amethyst ring caught my eyes right away. It is differently new but so far I do not know a thing about it.

Mary also embraced the outfit with jewellery from Rebekka Notkin, Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and Dulong Fine Jewelry. Her glasses are rather new ones from Gucci.

Conference: "Detecting Violence in the Family"

24 April 2025

Queen Mary attended as guest of honor the conference "Detecting Violence in the Family". The conference is arranged by the Mary Foundation, Ole Kirk's Foundation and Childhood without Violence.

She arrived at IDA Conference in Copenhagen in a splendid mood. She was welcomed by Helle Østergaard and Tine Oxholm from the Mary Foundation and Karin Skjødt Hindkjær and Line Rasmussen from the Ole Kirk's Foundation. Lisbeth Jessen represented Childhood without Violence.

Queen Mary gave the official opening speech before professionals from the municipalities, the police, the healthcare system and civil society presented new professional knowledge and results.

Her bright The Fold London blouse is still up for debate. At first I was no big fan but as times goes by I have come to like it. At the "Detecting Violence in the Family"-conference she embraced the colorful blouse with brand new plum The Fold London trousers. A wonderful match! Not quite sure about the suede belt. Maybe a black belt or something similar in color to the blouse? What would you wear?

Wish my wardrobe had as many Gianvito Rossi shoes as Mary's does. These pointed leopard pumps have been a favorite of mine for years. At first I was skeptical but once again she changed my mind. Her chic blue leather bag is a reuse from Prada. It goes back to around 2016. Mary also flashed a pair of new Gucci glasses at the conference.

Her beautiful white pearl earrings are created by talented Dulong Fine Jewelry years ago. Mary has worn them countless times on different occasions. The sames goes with the stunning golden ring.

Part 1: Princess Isabella's 18th birthday

11 April 2025

Princess Isabella is soon to be celebrating her 18th birthday! Today she was celebrated in by people in Aarhus. More than 300 guests showed up at Aarhus City Hall to get a glimpse of her Princess and congratulate her.

Princess Isabella was accompanied by her parents and siblings when being celebrate in Aarhus. She was celebrated with music, dance and birthday cake created by pastry chef apprentices. The young Princess showed her appreciation in a speech.

Mary looked beautiful when visiting Aarhus! We haven't seen that Hugo Boss blouse since 2016 when she received a donation from Inner Wheel as patron of the Maternity Foundation. Back then she matched the silky blouse with a black a-line skirt. At the event in Aarhus she dazzled in her reused Emilia Wickstead pencil skirt and a fine Prada belt. The colors are outstanding! Her creamy white coat is from JOSEPH.

Mary had also chosen nude leather pumps from Prada and a matching clutch. Very summery. I really like that she embraced the outfit with dusty blue earrings and an elegant new bracelet. The earrings go way back in time. They were once purchased at an Bruun Rasmussen auction. The bracelet is very well be from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

I guess you are interested in Princess Isabella's outfit as well her being the center of attention. The stunning Isabella wore a bright blue suit from Søren Le Schmidt and her mother's The Fold London blouse. She found great inspiration in her mother's closet because most of her accessories have been worn by Mary. Hair combs, earrings, ring, a bracelet and shoes.

Her sweet younger sister, Princess Josephine, looked amazing in a Harris Wharf London blouse and matching blazer and black trousers. Josephine styled her outfit with pearl earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe, her mother's Daisy brooch from Georg Jensen and a golden Maria Black ring.

Never thought this Prada dress would look this good with black tights but I am truly impressed how well it matches. Actually I like it even more with black tights than without. What was your first thought? The dress is a reuse that goes back to 2015 when she attended 3rd World Conference on Women's Shelters in the Netherlands.

At the conference with Realdania Mary had chosen to accessorize the elegant dress with the most stunning white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a matching bracelet and ring (same designer). She also wore a reused golden bangle from Rebekka Notkin and a third one. A NEW ONE. It is also from Rebekka Notkin. So delicate.

Mary's chic glasses are old ones from Tom Ford. Looked great that she had chosen her beloved black leather clutch from Quidam and new midi heels from Gianvito Rossi. Made the outfit look polished and beautiful
