Launch of Antibulli

Saturday, January 7th

Crown Princess Mary participated in the launching of Antibulli along with the Mary Foundation and handball player Mikkel Hansen. The launching took place in Silkeborg. 


Around noon the Crown Princess arrived to Vestergadehallen in Silkeborg to participate in the launching of a new project called Antibulli. The project is made in collaboration with the Mary Foundation MH24 - The association Mikkel Against Bullying which has handball player Mikkel Hansen as frontman. Antibulli are intended to strengthen unity and community among children in the Danish handball clubs. Maybe you remember having heard about this before, then it may be because you have heard about it before. The collaboration was announced a year ago and an interview with Mikkel Hansen and the Crown Princess were broadcasted on Danish television. Now it was finally time to test drive the project; here children, handball coaches and parents showed up to try out this new project. From what I see, it was a success. Everybody participating including Mary seemed to have a great time. A great start of something I think will continue as a success. I wish all involved in the project all the best and of course, congratulations!



Just a couple of days ago Mary was dressed in the most outstanding evening gown featuring expensive fabrics, lace and tulle. Completely different we saw her wear jeans, a black and white Hummel t-shirt and a pair of colourful New Balance sneakers at the launching in Silkeborg. Isn't this why we just adore her so much? Never too royal to show up wearing everyday jeans and sneakers. Dressed like all the others. At the arrival Mary wore a black coat from Hugo Boss featuring leather pockets -an edgy detail! I simply love when we see her all casual like this. But no outfit without something glittering which is why she was wearing her Cartier bracelet and a pair of Hartmanns diamond earrings. I would love to wear a casual outfit and diamond earrings with such elegance as she does, but it never works as good as for Mary. Think we saw a very comfortable Crown Princess, having a great time in Silkeborg.

Day 3. New Year's reception at Christiansborg castle

Wednesday, January 4th

Queen Margrethe hosted the fourth New Year's reception taking place at Christiansborg castle. Officers from the Defence and Emergency Management Agency, I., II. and III. social class and invited representatives of major union confederations and patronages were invited to attend the reception. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary represented the royal family along with the Queen. 


It was more than an overwhelming end of some fantastic days here at the beginning of new year. We have got three amazing days only dedicated to celebrate the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017. This last New Year's reception, which took place at Christiansborg castle as the third reception did, was held to honor officers from the Defence and Emergency Management Agency, I., II. and III. social class and invited representatives of major union confederations and patronages. More than 700 guests were invited. That many people can only be invited if you have a big house, like a castle. Luckily the Queen of Denmark has plenty of those. Talking about Queen Margrethe, then it is worth mentioning that she arrived in a golden carriage like she always do on the third day. She drove all the way from Amalienborg castle to Christiansborg castle, where she (of course) arrived as the last one, right after the Crown Prince couple. 


Only a few days past January 1st and we have already seen some dazzling new and reused pieces! What's so exciting about Mary when it comes to fashion and a reason why I admire her so much, is differently because she always manages to surprise and impress all at once. Seems like she never has to compromise 'fashion solutions'. She is always well-dressed and good looking no matter where she is going. Also when she is attending a huge reception with 700 special invited guests like this. Mary shone wearing a brand new plum gown created by Lasse Spangenberg Copenhagen -and yes, it has been confirmed, here. A figure hugging dress, floor length and simply gorgeous new gown. Perfectly matching she embrace the glamours style wearing a cape from the same designer. The very same we saw on January 1st. Splendid, right? Completely adoring she accessorized her look with black pearl jewellery from Dulong Fine Jewelry and modified ruby earrings as part of the Ruby Parure. I also see two more bracelets; one from Cartier and one from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Heaven made me aware the her burgundy clutch is from Sergio Rossi, thanks! Then we have the suede burgundy Gianvito Rossi pumps. Both makeup and hair were flawless as usual.

Day 2. New Year's reception at Amalienborg & Christiansborg

Queen Margrethe hosted two New Year's receptions. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary were present at both receptions which took place at Amalienborg castle and later on at Christiansborg castle. 

Program
  • 9:50 am. Queen Margrethe, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended a New Year's reception for Justices, The Royal Guard and the regiments Officer Corps at Amalienborg.
  • 11:30 am. Queen Margrethe, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary were present at the New Year's reception for diplomacy at Christiansborg castle.

Second best thing, after the big New Year's Banquet has to be the three other New Year's receptions taking place the following days. For the Queen and the Crown Prince couple the day began with a reception for Justices, The Royal Guard and the regiments Officer Corps taking place at Christian VIIs palace, Amalienborg -the same palace where the big Banquet were celebrated.

I have commented on her beautiful outfit further down in the post.

Crown Prince Frederik & Crown Princess Mary attending the New Year reception at Christiansborg


Unlike previous, we got plenty of pictures from the second reception taking place at Christiansborg castle -the same place as for the Danish Parliament. It was around noon, 11:30 pm local time, the Queen and the Crown Prince couple arrived, here, to attend a reception for the diplomacy. Special invited guests from 75 different nations participated. The three royal family members arrived last and before before the reception began, each and everyone were welcomed with a handshake given by Margrethe, Frederik and Mary. This little ceremony was followed by a speech given by H.E. Ms Mina Marie Baldé Laurent. She is ambassador of the Ivory Coast. As the longest serving ambassador is she in charge of the speech on behalf of diplomacy. Queen Margrethe also gave a speech, thanking Ms Laurent and the diplomancy.


With more than 75 nationalities from all over the world gathered at one reception, we get a unique opportunity to see clothes in all colours and patterns. Something that makes this event more than special. Indeed we saw some amazing national costumes! Because the Queen loves coloured clothes this much, I imagine she was impressed by the variety or colour combinations and patterns. Not quite as colourful, yet absolutely stunning, we have Crown Princess Mary in her grey gown. And wauw! First thing that hit me was the magnificent waist line. Such an innovative way to create a gown never seen before. I simply love the way two different materials matched each other in this one dress. Maybe you even recognize this Julie Fagerholt creation? Because actually it is a reused gown, worn by Mary at several previously occasions in 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2013. But at that time it was a two-piece evening gown -jacket and a the dress. This time she wore it without the jacket. And as you see on the old pictures the top has now been changes and I really fancy "the new look". Perfectly matching the floor-length gown she embrace the style by wearing suede Gianvito Rossi pumps, a grey Hugo Boss clutch and earrings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Incredibly beautiful! For hours I could comment on this look, but I will leave it to you. 

 What do you think? Are you as impressed as I am?

Day 1. New Year's Banquet at Amalienborg castle

Sunday, January 1st

Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik hosted the first, of four, New Year's reception for the government, representatives of the official Denmark and the court at Christian VII's Palace, Amalienborg. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended just as Prince Joachim and Princess Marie did. 


First of all it is time for me to wish you all a Happy New Year! I hope you had the most wonderful evening along with your friends and family. Unbelievable that the calendar already says 2017. I really look forward to share one more year in your company. Once again, a Happy New Year everybody!

Well, a new year also means three days with New Year receptions for the royal family including the biggest evenings of them all: the New Year's Banquet at Christian VII's Palace, Amalienborg. The ultimate evening! Already around 6 pm. local time the guests started to arrive and about 5 minutes before the dinner began the royal family members arrived. First Prince Joachim and Princess Marie, followed by the Crown Prince couple and then, last but not least Queen Margrethe and her husband Prince Henrik. It was all broadcasted live on Danish television, with me glued to the screen (as usual). One day I hope I will get the chance to be there myself and watch them arrive. Maybe one day. They all dazzled looking their absolute best! No doubt that this is my favourite evening.
  The royal family share a couple of pictures, here, taken from the inside of Christian VII's Palace, showing a beautifully decorated table and a room ready to host a magnificent dinner. 


Speaking about the most incredible evening, we also have to speak about splendid outfit. Indeed we saw overwhelmingly outfit and many of them are worth mentioning, but I'll leave the commenting to you. My specialty is royal outfits and I am really thrilled to be the one talking about Princess Marie's, Crown Princess Mary's and Queen Margrethe's evening look with you. Let's take talk about Princess Marie first. She was wearing a grey gown that surprised me. Not something I'd expected, but wauw she made it work. What a figure, not much to hide, but I doubt there is anything to hide. Then we have the Queen in one of her reused taffeta gowns. That colour looks just amazing on her. For sure she is a Queen! Now our Queen-to-be, Crown Princess Mary in her dazzling golden dream of a gown. The very same dress as she wore on the Marco Grop portrait, here, created by Jesper Høvring. Mary got her very own version of one of his dressed from his Aw2016 collection, here. Since we first saw it on the photograph, my only wish to see her wear it for a occasion like this and we did along with a brand new cape made from Lasse Spangenberg Copenhagen! It perfectly matched the golden gown and the Ruby Parure. And look how beautifully the hemline is. Sorry to say to you who didn't like this, but I really do. Even with the black tulle underneath. I also see a Cartier bracelet as well as a Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond bracelet. Till anything else tell's otherwise, her clutch is the one from Judith Leiber. The only thing I have not been able to find out about is what pair of shoes she was wearing, but they look golden or maybe metallic. With makeup and hairstyle, Mary is my number one!
