Business promotion visit in Norway

09 June 2022

HIKING IN STAVANGER

The Crown Princess was about to attend a business conference in Oslo, Norway on June 10th. She arrived one day earlier and spend the time making a dream come true: hiking in Stavanger. Crown Princess Mary visited Preikestolen. It is a mountain plateau a wonderful nature. A perfect start for the following days conference.

In her social media post, Crown Princess Mary also expressed her sincere love for nature. How important it is that we take good care of it and do what we can to find as many sustainable solutions as possible.

Mary shared a little something from her hike at Preikestolen in Stavanger. We get a glimpse of her wearing a navy blue down-jacket and a few blouses to keep warm on her trip. I was able to identify on of the. It is from Under Armor. The model is pretty cool because it can be a bit more personal than their usual  blouses. This one can be personalized with a few words. It makes me wonder if it could be a gift (maybe from her children), who customized a blouse for her.

BUSINESS CONFERENCE

Crown Princess Mary arrived one day earlier. She spend the day in Stavanger visiting Preikestolen. On June 10th, she accompanied Crown Prince Haakon and his wife Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway at the business conference "The green, sustainable and climate-safe cities of the future". The conference took place at Oslo City Hall.

The conference was centered around the central role of cities in achieving the UN climate goals. Crown Princess Mary mentioned that in her opening speech too. She also made it clear that both Norway and Denmark har creative, innovative, ressources and capacity to lead the way to a more green and sustainable future.

Later on, the Crown Princess attended the conference "The robust healthcare system of the future in Norway and Denmark". It took place in Oslo Science City. Multiple representative from companies, students and professionals also participated the conference. Crown Princess Mary got the opportunity to speak to several of the Danish companies participating the conference.

Mary has always been a worldclass champion in wearing old clothes in a new way. She proved that one more time by wearing this white dotted Prada dress. It was first worn in 2021 in Paris (here). The model makes the very best out of her slim silhouette. The golden buttons are a great detail to a simple dress like this.

She embraced the light style with alle nude and golden accessories. The nude python pumps from Gianvito Rossi are an old-time favourite of hers. Mary has worn them (almost) a million time over the years. I wouldn't mind them in my wardrobe. Note, Gianvito Rossi shoes are super comfortable to wear, so I get why she loves them. The reused Chanel handbag is a classy and good-looking match to the rest of her outfit.

As jewellery, Mary had chosen a pair of brand new earrings created by Dulong Fine Jewelry, two rings and a golden bracelet from the same designer. I also see a diamond bracelet from Ole Lynggaard and (believe it or not) an all new golden bangle. It features the most amazing colourful stones. To me it looks like something inherited or perhaps purchased on auction.

OFFICIAL DINNER AT NASJONALMUSEUM

It had already been a wonderful day in Oslo. In the evening, the Crown Princess accompanied Queen Sonja, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit at the official dinner marking the grand opening of Norway's new National Museum - the Nasjonalmuseum. It is the largest art museum in the Nordic countries with all its international art, design and architecture.

The three of them first visited part of an exhibition. Some of Queen Sonja and Queen Maud's dressed are on display. Then a fine dinner followed. This was the perfect ending on her business promotion visit in Norway.

Of course we understand why the world has gone crazy about Mary's (and Crown Princess Mette-Marit's) evening outfit. They both look absolutely splendid at the gala dinner. Mary wore her old custom-made Søren Le Schmidt evening gown. She embraced it beautifully with a red stone belt from Dolce & Gabbana. Something I would never have though would look good - but it does! Don't you think?

Once again, she managed to accessories her stunning look with great jewellery. Her hairdo revealed beauties created by Rebekka Notkin. She is also the designer of two of Mary's amazing bracelets. We get a glimpse of an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen bangle as well. Mary wore that earlier on her visit. Dulong Fine Jewelry is the brand behind her huge diamond ring.

I am sure you all noticed the iconic Bottega Veneta clutch. It has been part of her wardrobe for years and it still looks perfect. The smashing golden pointed Manolo Blahnik pumps are also a really wonderful match with the golden jewellery.

Royal Run 2022

06 June 2022

Finally. What we have waited for in a very long time - the Royal Run 2022. Once again, Royal Run gathered more than 90,000 people. The Crown Prince family celebrated that a day ahead (on June 5th) with a post on social media. The photo says it all. They are delighted, happy and excited.

On Monday, both Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary kept us posted during the day on their experiences. The Crown Prince shared a few selfies. So did his wife.

Crown Prince Frederik joined runners in Aarhus, Aalborg and Copenhagen/Frederiksberg. Meanwhile, Crown Princess Mary started in her in Kolding and later joined the team in Næsteved. She ended up back in Copenhagen early evening.

Mary's "starter" look from the celebration-post, was a CRAFT's t-shirt. The blouse is given to all participants as part of them participating the run. Mary matched the chic green blouse with brand new running tights. So far, I have never been able to identify where they are from. Any ideas? Her dark green cap is a reuse from Cavelleria Toscana. She styled the sporty look with new trainers from Ascis. I still need to find the right model.

Royal Run took place in Aarhus, Aalborg, Kolding, Næstved and Copenhagen/Frederiksberg. Mary participated the run in Kolding and later Næsteved. When arriving to Kolding, she was dressed in her old Royal Run jacket, this years participants-blouse and reused NIKE running tights. She had received a gift from the Mayor of Kolding: her new running shorts from Fusion. Apparently, she mentioned their length being pretty short. During the run, Mary added a Kknekki hair tie and a beloved Under Armor cap. We get a glimpse of a golden Cartier bracelet. I have not been able to find the right model, but Mary's running shoes are from ASICS.

Back in Copenhagen, Mary changed to another pair or NIKE trousers. A model more relaxed and (probably) a bit more comfortable. She still wore the old Royal Run jacket from CRAFT. It was priceless to see her cheer up the participants with smiles, claps and high-fives.

Royal Run 2021

12 September

So many people have been looking for to participate Royal Run last year, but unfortunately it was cancelled quite a few time due to the worldwide pandemic. Finally, Crown Prince Frederik and his family were able to enjoy a day running with most of Denmark.

Crown Prince Frederik participated runs in Odense, Sønderborg and Copenhagen/Frederiksberg. Meanwhile, his white Crown Princess Mary flew to Aalborg and participated a five kilometer run. Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephines earned their medals in Copenhagen with a one miles run (here). Prince Vincent also participated the five kilometer race. Even the family dog, Grace, had her part in making the day perfect (here).

So, Crown Princess Mary traveled to Aalborg to celebrate the day with five kilometers. On her way to Aalborg, she shared a photo of herself along with a few words. For her the most important about this day, is to make it a great day and a lovely experience for all of the participants.

Mary was differently dressed for a run. She showed up in Aalborg wearing her rather new 7 DAYS Active running tights. The same worn at celebration one month for Royal Run (here). Prince Vincent had photographed and filmed his parents a month before the big day. In Aalborg, Mary also wore a running jacket and blouse from CRAFT featuring the Royal Run logo.

When exercising, Mary loves wearing a cap and a ponytail. She continued the tradition. Her Under Amour cap and Kknakki hairband, complimented each other perfectly. We also got a glimpse of two golden necklaces. They are from Orit Elhanati and Dulong Fine Jewelry - she truly loves wearing this combo at the moment. The same goes with her golden Cartier bangle.

After the run in Aalborg and being back in Copenhagen, cheering her husband, Mary had changed trousers to a brand new pair of H2O Fagerholt trousers. I learned about the designer at UFO No More. Adore that fact that Mary is wearing trousers like these in public.

Day 2. Youth Innovation Summit in Morocco

04 October

Morning run

A while ago it was announced that Crown Princess Mary was going to Morocco to attend the Youth Innovation Summit 2019 in Rabat. This is why she flew to Morocco on October 3rd. She was about to stay for two days. On the first day she attended a seminar followed by a dinner with 100 talented young people who have been trying to figure out solutions to some of Morocco's biggest social and economic challenges, here.

October 4th started with a morning run because exercise happens to be one of the best ways to encourage Moroccan young people in a sustainable agenda in. So Crown Princess Mary had replaced her floral dress from the previous day with running tights and a cap. The morning exercise took place in Park Hassan II which was also as part of the opening of Youth Dialogue Festival - an event based on dialogue and talk about sustainable development and how to encourage young people in the debate.

She was in a great spirit leading the large group of runners. The Crown Princess was one big smile and happy eyes participating the morning run in Park Hassan II in Rabat. What a wonderful way to kick off her last day in Morocco.

Kongehuset ● Det Danske Kongehus ● Royal Fashion Blog ● Daily Mail

The last couple of years we have seen how she pull off a perfect runners look. So did she when participating the morning run in Park Hassan II. Mary had chosen to wear a pair of old black NIKE tights - I have a similar pair myself and they are wonderfully comfortable. She then more a red sponsored t-shirt and her FALKE running jacket. The FALKE jacket was first worn during Royal Run in 2018 when Crown Prince Frederik celebrated his 50th birthday, here. Took me quite a while to identify it, but fortunately it features a clear logo.

Her bright blue running sneakers are a reuse from Asics. We first saw them when she was on a work visit in Ethiopia in March this year, here. Do you also have a pair of cool running sneakers? Like many other of the participating runners Mary was wearing her Under Amour cap. Clearly a beloved cap especially when she is exercising.

Youth Dialogue Festival

In the morning she participated a part of the later Youth Dialogue Festival taking place in Rabat - a morning run in Park Hassan II. As guest of honor Crown Princess Mary opened the festival with a remarkable speech honoring the importance of young people trying to make a difference. This is why the festival is the place to go to, because the Youth Dialogue Festival act as a platform for young talents where they can present ideas and business models on challenges faced by Morocco.

The Crown Princess was clearly impressed by all the young participants and their ideas presented to her during the two days in Rabat, Morocco. She expressed how much they inspired her in her speech. She was in a splendid mood all day. She had plenty of time wherever she went. Just her smile had to make everybody comfortable.

Mary was in an outstanding outfit at the opening of the Youth Dialogue Festival in Rabat. She matched a plain white button-down shirt (still unidentified) with a brand new floral printed skirt. It is almost mesmerizing to look at. The colors. The prints. The length. It is simply stunning. So far I have not been able to identify who designed it. Do you happen to know anything? I know many of you recognize the style, but non have been able to find it yet. Do you like her new skirt?

The first accessory I noticed was the sunglasses. They are not new but I have never been able to find them. I really tried because I love them and was like to know where they are from. But so far, I have not had any luck. The sunglasses makes her look super chic.

She also styled her outfit with lots of incredible jewellery from Dulong Fine Jewelry, Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and Cartier. Among others golden earrings and bracelets. To match the rest of her beautiful look she wore brown suede Gianvito Rossi pumps. What a look, right?

Free of Bullying Race 2019

22 June

A couple of days before the race took place in Fælledparken, the Mary Foundation posted a few pictures of Crown Princess Mary getting ready to participate, here. The Free of Bullying-race has been an annual event for years. It is part of one of the Mary Foundation's projects again bullying. The event gathered hundreds of people every year.

For many years, the Crown Princess has participated warm up and greeting the children when hit the finish line with cheerful words and a medalion for having finished the run. 2019 was a bit different because Crown Princess Mary actually participated four races of 1 km. each. It was a wonderful sight. All the time she was surrounded by children, who all wanted her attention. And they got it. She dances, smiled, laughed, held hands. Everthing the photographers are dreaming of at such an event.

The weather was perfect. Everyone were in a great mood. I think we can conclude that this years Free of Bullying-race was a success.

Getting ready to run four different races, Mary had chosen a practical running outfit. Usually we see her in tights while running. As we did when she participated Royal Run on June 10th, here. But this time she had chosen another pair of black Nike trousers - in a more loose fit. Everyone participating Free of Bullying-race were given their very own t-shirt. A bright blue shirt featuring the Mary Foundation's logo for the project: the purple teddybear. When arriving to Fælledparken in Copenhagen she also wore an old FALKE jacket worn at, among others, Royal Run last year, here.

Even when out for a run Mary is wearing accessories. First thing noticed is the grey Under Armour cap. Seems like she loves wearing this cap when exercising. Don't think I'd like it myself, but she makes it looks chic in a casual way. Practical and fashionable. The little emerald beaded necklace is from Nadia Shelbaya. What I do know is that the two golden bracelets worn at the race, are from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Cartier. A closer look revealed to me that her black sunglasses are a Ray Ban design. The colorful sneakers have been found at Asics on a previous event.

Royal Run 2019

10 June

Royal Run was invented on occasion of Crown Prince Frederik's 50th birthday last year. It was a huge success. Thousands of Danes participated running in five different cities across the country. This year the Danes were one more time invited to run in Copenhagen, Aalborg, Aarhus and Rønne (on Bornholm). More than 80,000 participated. It was all broadcasted live on Danish televison.

At the first event in 2018 Crown Princess had some problems with his back. Nevertheless, he participated a 10 km. run in Copenhagen. This year he was also troubled with his back due to a herniated disc. For that reason he was not able to participated. Instead he arrived to Aarhus with Dannebrog. Here the Crown Prince walked the famous One Mile. Later, he took his bike and followed the race in Copenhagen.

Crown Princess Mary arrived to Aarhus along with her husband in the morning. She then drove to Aalborg where she participated the 5 km race. She made it in about 26 minutes. The Crown Princess later participated in another race with the Christmas Seal Foundation and project Lykkeliga. It was a wonderful sight. She ran back several times support and motive the participating children to complete the race.

In the afternoon both Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary were headed back to Copenhagen. The Crown Prince arrived first. In Copenhagen the four royal children also participated in the family race. A proud father welcomed his children at the finish line right next to Amalienborg Castle. On several occasions the Crown Prince couple were seen along with their children, cheering for all the participants in Copenhagen. It was clear that all of them really enjoyed the day.

During the day, the Crown Prince family shared some moments on Instagram. First a photo of the Crown Prince Couple on board Dannebrog, here. Then Crown Princess Mary shared her excitement on her way to Aalborg, here. Prince Christian later posted a photo of himself and his sibiling's ready to participate the family race in Copenhagen, here. A proud father also shared a few moments with his children, here, here. Later Crown Prince Frederik posted a few photos from his bikeride, here. After a long day it was time to say thank you for another Royal Run, here.

Of course, Mary was dressed in a sporty outfit. She participated two races on occasion of Royal Run 2019. The white t-shirt and navy blue jacket are both pieces made for all the participants to wear. So did Mary and the rest of her family. The blue running tights has been seen before and a visible logo shows that they are from Nike. When Mary participated the 5 km race in Aalborg she also wore a light grey Under Armour cap. Seems like that is her style, because when seeing her out for a run she is typically wearing a cap. The same did Princess Josephine as the only one of her sibling's. Maybe she inherited her mothers love for caps while running? It even matched in color.

I also spotted that Mary wore a few jewellery. A golden necklace featuring green beads from Nadia Shelbaya and two golden bracelets from Cartier and Dulong Fine Jewelry. I wonder how that is at all comfortable. We also got see her in two different pairs of sneakers. One pair from Asics and another pair from Nike. Both seen before.
