Both Crown Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine were up for the challenge to make a gingerbread house. Prince Vincent teamed up with his older brother and Princess Josephine joined her sister.

The two brothers had "a little help" to build their house but confessed in the end. At least they tried. Have you ever tried to built a gingerbread house?

Day of Research 2022

22 April

For many years, Crown Princess has attended the opening of Day of Research (Forskningens Døgn). So did she this year as patron of the event. 

This year, Day of Research was part of the event "Common about the Fjord" (Fælles om Fjorden). An event aiming to strengthen and protect the climate and environment in and around Roskilde Fjord. The project work with this through initiatives by both citizens and researchers.

Day of Research takes place at the Viking Museum in Roskilde.

The Crown Princess was in a wonderful mood at the opening. She was accompanied by the Danish Minister of Education and Research, Jesper Petersen. They joined each other for opening, which contained a panel debate, some sining, touching eels and having a lot of fun with science. It looks like the Crown Princess had a great time in Roskilde.

Mary wore a stunning and super chic outfit in Roskilde at the opening of Day of Research 2022. Very moderen and polished. The fine long vest is a reuse from Harris Wharf London. She wore it once before at a private event (here). She matched it was a knitted blouse in almost exact same colour. I have always been impressed by her ability to match colours with such perfection. The white wide-legged trousers was a lovely addition to the vest and blouse.

She embraced the style with beautiful accessories. Like the golden Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen earrings. Don't know if I am the biggest fan of this design, but Mary wears them with such elegance that I have come to like them very much. We also get a glimpse of her golden Cartier bangle and diamond ring from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. She was wearing another ring as well. A new one, but I am still missing a close-up to tell more about it.

The striped colourfull hairband is another one from Kknekki. Seems to be her favourite hairbands. Have you tried them? My hair is still too short to wear these hairbands, but I am curious to know. For sure, you noticed those incredible ankle boots as well, right? Heaven and UFO No More were able to identify them as Yvonne Koné. And they we not brown, but olive. No matter what the colour is called, they are magnificent.

-May, 16th-
The Crown Prince visited the DR City in Copenhagen to participated in the recording of a radioprogram called Crown Prince Frederik at P4 (which is a Danish radio station). He was interview by Alex Nyborg Madsen and Anders Agger about music from the 60's to today. The Crown Prince shared some of his personal favourite records and related stories. It was broadcasted on May 20th.

-May, 20th-
A brand new documentary called My Way was broadcasted on TV2 in Danish television Sunday evening. A TV crew has followed the Crown Prince family for a couple of years, showing the Crown Prince and his family at official event and on more private occasions. From my personal point of view, this is indeed a remarkable portrait of His Royal Highness. Even the filming techniques are outstanding. I sincerely hope you had the chance to watch the documentary or at least some of these few clips published, here.

-May, 21st-
Early Monday morning the Crown Prince share the first of many pictures from him participating Royal Run, here, here, here, here. The event took place in five different Danish cities (Aalborg, Aarhus, Esbjerg, Odense, Copenhagen) across the country. And what a massive support the event had from more than 70,000 Danes participating the run. It was simply impressive. The Crown Prince expressed how sincere he was for the support. He was also supported by his wife, who also happen to run 10 km in Odense, here. The Crown Princess and their four children joined a mile run in Copenhagen before she went to Odense, here.

-May, 23rd-
The Crown Princess arrived on board Dannebrog in the morning to accompany her husband on a trip to Aarhus, here. She was perfectly dress in a brand new dress from Apiece Apart, here, brown sandals from Yvonne Knoé, here, a Ralph Lauren bag, here, and new golden earrings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, here. The day earlier, Crown Prince Frederik hosted a reception on the royal yacht for all this patronages on occasion of his 50th birthday, here. Around noon the couple the arrived to Aarhus where they were warmly welcomed. Both of them took plenty of time meeting people placed at the harbor. They day was all about celebrating the Crown Prince. Among other places, they visited Njord Gin and Film City Aarhus, here. The Crown Princess dazzled wearing an old Temperley London lace dress with a pair of nude Prada pumps and matching Naledi Copenhagen clutch. Think her new Susanne Juul fascinator amazed most of us. She embraced the style of her new hairpiece with earrings from the Ruby Parure, an Orit Elhanati necklace and Cartier bracelet.

On their way home from Aarhus, a picture was taken of the couple on board Dannebrog, here. To me it shows a happy couple enjoying themselves. I'm not quite sure why they are all dressed up, but nevertheless the Crown Prince looks smashing in his black uniform next to the Crown Princess in her floral dream from Giambattista Valli, here, white trousers and beautiful Annikat earrings, here.

Finally time is up for Prince Vincent and his twin sister Princess Josephine to begin school. As their two older siblings, Prince Christian and Princess Isabella, the twins started at Tranegaard School in Hellerup on Tuesday August 15th. Also Princess Athena, daughter of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie, has also started school the following day. Yes, all of them are growing up so fast. Think their parents feel the same way. As with Prince Christian and Princess Isabella, the Crown Prince couple joined the twins on their first day. The prince and princess met the national- and international press in front on Frederik VIIIs palace, Amalienborg, accompanied by their very proud parents. Crown Prince Frederik followed his lively daughter, while the Prince Vincent closely followed his mother a little more shy and uncomfortable. And who wouldn't be? -it is your first day at school with new faces everywhere and then you even have to face a crowed of journalists and photographers. But the Crown Princess was aware of her sons uncertainty and made sure he was all right before leaving the square in front of Amalienborg. Moments later, everything was back to normal and we even got a smile from the little prince. For sure it is an emotional day, where much is going on. I clearly remember when Prince Christian and Princess Isabella had their first day in 2011, here, and 2013, here. It was two exciting days for all of us. Proves that the kids are growing up and are ready to get older along with the rest of us. It is a big step for a child to go from kindergarden to begin school.

An event like this even gives us the opportunity to take a look at previous outfits, which I know many of you loves just as much as I do. In 2011 when Christian began school, Mary was casual dressed in a printed dress and ballet flats. Two years later on her daughters big day she dazzled in snake pumps and black trousers. Because of these rather casual outfit I was surprise to see that her outfit was way more formal (if that is even the right word to describe her look?). Heaven is the one to identify her dress as Isabel Marant Étoile. Think it will look great with a pair of pointed pumps and/or maybe a blazer. Don't you think? Meeting the press she was wearing her brown leather sandals from Yvonne Knoé seen at previous occasions and a matching belt. If you ask me, then the colour combo is simply perfect. Mary embrace her "first-day-at-school" with couple of bracelets, a necklace and golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry, a golden one from Orit Elhanati, her Cartier bracelet and (of course) her Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond rings. I have always been in love with the way she wears several bracelets and necklaces at the same time. Makes a great look. I have come to enjoy this very much myself. You should try it.

Crown Prince Frederik matched his wife by wearing a brown blazer and kerosene colored trousers. First day at school also takes the right outfit for the twins. Prince Vincent was dressed in comfortable green shorts and a light blue button-down, while his sister stunned in a blue dress featuring a bow and pleated skirt. And of course, brand new backpacks -Josephine's with horses and Vincent's is LEGO.

Visiting Bangladesh

April, 5-6th

Crown Princess Mary is visiting Bangladesh along with Minister of Development Ulla Tørnæs from 5-6th of April. The visit focuses on strengthening women's economic opportunities as part of the UN world goal number five on equality. 


Crown Princess Mary visiting Farmer Field School in Dhaka


I came as a total surprise to me when pictures of the Crown Princess in Bangladesh started showing up on my computer screen. Haven't heard a thing about this trip. Well, I wondered why she had no events coming up in April, but some months are quieter than others. What I have been able to find out, then Mary arrived to the capital Dhaka in Bangladesh on Wednesday April 5th left the country the following day. But I am not quite sure about the schedule. It is rather unusual that we don't hear about these official visits but it could be a matter of her safety. This is Mary's first visit to Bangladesh and she travelled along with Minister of Development Ulla Tørnæs and a Danish business delegation. The visit focuses on strengthening women's economic opportunities. As first thing in the morning she visited the project Farmer Field School in Moddhu Rakudia. The project aims to improve women's knowledge of the agricultural technician. The Crown Princess also visited the village Panbari which has been severely affected by floods, storms and high water levels due to climate changes. As both visits there were plenty of time for her to meet the locals which happily told Mary their stories.

During her first day in Moddhu Rakudia and Panbari she wore a comfortable outfit; a white button down shirt, beige trousers and matching slip-ons. Sunglasses protected her eyes while her hair were place on top of her head, keeping everything under control during the midday sun.

Bracelet: Anni Lu Mess Blue


Crown Princess Mary meeting with Jaago Foundation and Auko-Tex Group in Dhaka


As part of the Crown Princess' first day in Bangladesh, she also met with a few schools supported by the Jaago Foundation. It has been a true pleasure to watch pictures and a video's from her visits. From the second she arrived every one of the children tried to get her attention -and they did. Every minute she spend along with the school's children. Earlier in the morning Mary also payed a visit to the capital slum. Everywhere she went, Mary was pleasantly greeted by the people met. Many of them were happily surprised to see a real princess for the first time in their life, although a little disappointed that she was not wearing a crown and a gown. In the afternoon the Crown Princess and Minister of Development Ulla Tørnæs visited a clothing factory Auko-Tex in Ghazipur. They were also accompanied by the Danish Ambassador in Bangladesh Mikael H. Winther.

Spending her last couple of hours in, among others, Ghazipur she had changed to a bit more colourful outfit. Mary paired a powder pink blouse with a pair of brown dress pants, accessorized with matching ballet flats.

Crown Princess Mary attending a reception

We haven't got that many pictures nor information's about her whereabouts during the stay in Bangladesh, nor do we from the Crown Princess' last reception before leaving Dhaka. At the evening reception on Thursday several locals, women, contractors etc. were specially invited to attend the reception. This gave Mary yet another opportunity to hear about challenges, projects, stories told by the locals and experience with what climate changes can cause of problems and maybe even how to turn it into something positive.

As many of the other attending women Mary were dressed in a colourful printed dress at the reception. She embraced the style with loose wavy hair and natural makeup.

Annual photo call in Gråsten

Friday, July 15th


Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik met the press at the annual photo call at Gråsten castle. The Crown Prince couple did also attend the photo call and have stayed at Gråsten during summer along with all four children. Prince Gustav and his girlfriend Carina, Princess Alexandra and her husband Count Jefferson and their daughter Ingrid also joined their family in Gråsten.

Finally, it is time for me to share this post with you from the annual photo call in Gråsten. The Crown Prince couple and their four children have spend most of the summer at the castle. A few times we have seen them on their way to Gråsten Riding School and when visiting Legoland in Billund. Now Queen Margrethe, Prince Henrik, Prince Gustav and his girlfriend Carina, Princess Alexandra, Count Jefferson and their daughter Ingrid joined the family in Gråsten. I am sure they were all warmly welcomed by the Crown Prince couple and their children at the arrival.

 Gråsten castle was given to Queen Ingrid and King Frederik IX by the State, as summer residence. This has become a tradition, adopted by both the Queen and her husband and now by the Crown Prince couple. A wonderful tradition to keep alive, don't you think? It is all about gathering family from near and far and have a great time. Then on Friday it was time for the family to meet the rest at the annual photo call. That one time a year we get to see the family all relaxed and casual. It is something I look forward to with great pleasure.

Around 10:00 pm. the family showed up and met the press with smiles on their faces. A beautiful moment was captured and is now part of royal history. Despite wind and lots of clouds every single one of them seemed to enjoyed themselves and having a good time with the rest of the family. Especially Prince Vincent and Princess Josephines enjoyed a good time playing with the dogs.




The atmosphere is all relaxed, which makes it perfect for something casual to wear. The dresscode is simple and causal. The Queen wore a bright pink suit, marching the girls with her choice of clothes. Because both Princess Isabella and her younger sister, Princess Josephine were dressed I lovely pink and powder pink dresses. Meanwhile the Crown Prince and his sons, were all wearing some kind of blue clothing's.

 Mary wore a stunning new printed dress by SEA made of 100% silk. It was identified by Kate, Heaven and Pernille. Don't think we have ever seen her in that label before - have we? She embraced the style by wearing a simple black cardigan (maybe not the best combo), a pair of pearl white Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and some colourful bracelet from the same designer. Another piece of jewellery worth mentioning is of course the golden Cartier bracelet on her left wrist. Though I like her new dress very much, I am somehow more fascinated by her new brown heeled sandals. From first sight, I have been almost obsessed trying to identify them. Reminds me of a pair of wedges previously worn by the Crown Princess of Sweden during her public birthday celebration, here. I even manage to find a picture showing the logo, but no matter who I asked no one was able to help. Suddenly a name came to me - Yvonne Koné. And I was right. The best finding in a very long time. After all this is a smashing outfit featuring some pretty amazing details. Something you would wear? I would; at a dinner with my friends.

I found a collection of some of her summer outfits, here. Do you have a favourite look?

Christening of "Princess Isabella"

Saturday, June 6th

Crown Princess Mary and Princess Isabella visited Samsø to named the new ferry Princess Isabella in Sælvig Harbour. Mother and daughter also visited Samsø Berries and Samsø Nature School. This is Princess Isabella's first official job.

* Frederiketmary.centerblog.net 1 2

The two royal ladies were welcomed to Samsø with all what it takes to have a royals visit. They arrived shortly after noon for Princess Isabella to name a new ferry by her own name Princess Isabella. And she did a great job and was, as her mother, relaxed and smily. On every photo to find the Crown Princess looks so happy and seems so proud of her daughter. Princess Isabella was handling the entire situation with her natural person and smily personality. Even though this was an official event, I think we saw the opposite of a normal official visit. Nothing was too formal. I'm sure mother and daughter had a great day together. The big moment of Isabella's first job which are remembered forever by the press' photos, picking strawberries together at a field and we got to see them both dress in waders, walking in waters to the middle of the body -what a sight!


Mary was well-dressed as usual. I'm so thrilled to see her wear colours again. Bright pastel colours that perfectly goes with spring and the great sunny weather at Samsø. With a magnificent mix of colours, Mary made me think that I need a white blazer. Always thought it looks great, but now I'm totally convinced. It's now added to my wish list. Mary's has been identified by Krap Ennazuz as Alexander McQueen. She wore this gorgeous new dusty pink blouse from Marni. The ID was made by Royals & Fashion. I instantly fell in love with the colour and shape. It goes so well with the white blazer and black trousers. As a mother you sometimes need a quick, easy and practical hairdo and the classic ponytail is what you need. It is easy to make and even a simple hairstyle like the ponytail, it can chance an outfit with perfection. Remember, sometimes it is all about the small details. When we are talking about details, I'll draw your attention to her accessories. Let's start with earrings and the two rings on her finger because all three are designed by Marianne Dulong. For third or fourth time she was wearing the Anni Lu bracelet found by Diana. It is by a coincidence I found a similar model in a magazine from a Danish shoe designer Yvonne Koné and I'm so sure it's the same as Mary wore. She also flashed a brand new dusty pink cardigan which has been identified as Wuth Cashmere. I can't wait to try a similar outfit myself.

By no doubt Isabella are going to embrace her mothers amazing style. She was even dressed in her own little pastel blue blazer matching her mom's. With a Norlie ruffle blouse and dark trousers which might be from the same designer, she was just so cute. I think some of you might find it as interesting to find Isabella's clothes as Mary's and actually more of Isabella's outfit has been identified then her mother's, with the help from a great reader, Krap Ennazuz we now know that her blue blazer is from Zara Kids and ballet flats from Petit by Sofie Schnoor. If it's possible for you to find a photo of the Princess' braided hair then I think you should take a close look. Mary's hairdresser might have used his magic to create this wonder and finishing it up with a blue flower.
