A birthday girl on her 49th birthday


Many years has passed by since we have seen a new photo of Mary on occasion of her birthday. That happened this year. The court published a new photo of her taken by Daniel Stjerne. My guess is that it was taken in November 2018, here. Around the time when she become new patron of DR's Girls Choir and new official photos were taken. Now we have one more moment from the day - a really lovely photo of beautiful woman wearing her aquamarine blue diamond earrings, an Orit Elhanati necklace and that navy blue creation from Issa London. Congratulation to Crown Princess Mary from all of us.

The Women's Board Award 2020

31st January

For quite a few year now Crown Princess Mary has attended the presentation of a very special and unique award: the Women's Board Award. It is given to the most talented female board member of the year. With the award...... This year, the event was themed "Sustainable Leadership".

She arrived in a really splendid mood. I wonder if she is happy to be back on duty? Well, I imagine she has enough to handle with everything, while staying in Verbier with the rest of the family. Nevertheless, the Crown Princess was warmly welcomed with lots of smiles, handshakes and of course a bouquet of flowers.

The Crown Princess handed over the award since 2015 and knew very well, what was suppose to happen. She entered the stage and gave a few words on occasion of the presentation. At the same time she announced that board member of FLSmidth, Finansiel Stabilitet, Bavarian Nordic and TopDanmark, Anne Louise Eberhard is this years recipient. Congratulations to Anne Louise Eberhard with receiving this prestigious award. She was given the award because of her holistic way of working out long-term strategies for the various companies.



Mary is usually a cause of stir, so was she attending the Women's Board Award 2020 in Copenhagen on Friday. A strong woman, handing over an award to another powerful woman. We have already seen her wear some pretty incredible outfits at this event. Maybe you remember in 2016, when Mary showed up in a fitted Prada dress and burgundy accessories, here? And what about last years smashing look, here? That was when she paired a chic tweed jacket with a black pleated skirt. I am sure you remember clear as day.

This year, she had then chosen her outstanding light brown skirt from Giuliva Heritage Collection. It was first worn at a private event in last year, when the Crown Prince Couple attended the opening of "Celestial Choreography" - a photo exhibition by Prince Nikolaos of Greece, here. Later, Mary stunned in the exact same skirt when visiting Rødding Højskole on occasion of their 175th anniversary, here. At the Women's Board Award she embraced the style by wearing a brand new CO blouse. Similar to the white one worn when visiting Rødding Højskole. It was identified by Heaven.

Mary also wore quite a few interesting jewellery: diamond earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe, three different golden bracelets created by Dulong Fine Jewelry, another one from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and a fifth iconic bracelet from Cartier. Maybe you also noticed a couple of rings. With who I know, one is from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a second one a diamond band from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. The third one is still unknown to me. Again, it could be her wedding ring "replacement". From what I hear her engagement ring and wedding ring are getting cleaned.

Once again, she wore her quality Quidam leather clutch and brand new suede heeled boots. I have still not been able to identify them, but keep an eye out there and let me know what you see, hear and find. Personally, I am crazy about this out. Aren't you?

Two meeting's at Amalienborg

30th January

The official calendar only tells that Crown Princess Mary was suppose to attend the presentation of the winners of the Media Competition for Schools 2020 at Politikens Hus at January 29th, here. The second event in her calendar while staying in Copenhagen, before going back to Verbier, is her being present at Women's Board Award 2020 on January 31st.

Apparently, she spent her time wisely because on her day of rest (Thursday) she hosted two meetings at Frederik VIIIs Palace at Amalienborg. It was a patron of the DRC Dansk Flygtningehjælp and Mødrehjælpen, that Crown Princess Mary met with representatives from both organizations.

From DRC Dansk Flygtningehjælp the Crown Princess met with General Secretary Charlotte Slente and Chairman Agi Csonka. The two of them informed her about the current refugee situation and how the organization, with different ongoing activities, are trying to create permanent solutions for refugees around the world.

Later, she hosted a meeting with the CEO of Mødrehjælpen Ninna Thomsen and their Vice President Trine Schaldemose. They told Crown Princess Mary about their work in counseling and helping families with problems and challenges.



No one wears an outfit like this, like Mary does. I love how relaxed and comfortable she looks. Of course that is just not because of what she wears, but if you do not feel comfortable in what you wear; well, it does not show on your spirit.

Meeting with both the DRC Dansk Flygtningehjælp and Mødrehjælpen, Mary wore simple black trousers and a brand new blouse. I wish I was able to wear such trousers with such elegance as she is. I think we often forget to talk about the different types of trousers. Mary has worn this shape for many years and they make her look super classy.

The blouse is quite interesting. A classic button-down in a fresh color featuring white hemlines. So far, I have not been able to identify where it is from. Any idea who created this beautiful blouse? Also, let me know what you think.

Am I the only one who think Mary has got her hair done? It looks great. A bit more light brown than usually and white lighter brown highlights. She embraced the style of her gorgeous hair and outfit with reused diamond earrings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and a matching diamond ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry. The second ring could be her wedding ring or her temporary replacement. I cannot tell for sure. The matching black and powder pink rivet pumps are her Valentinos.

Winners of the Media Competition 2020

29th January

So, we have not seen Crown Princess Mary for quite some time now. You all know why: because at the moment she is living in Switzerland with the rest of the family while all four children are joining a 12 weeks program at Verbier International School. This means we have only seen her and the family once, when they gave an interview about a month ago, here. I am probably not the only one who have been looking forward to this day where she returned to Copenhagen, right? Well, it is just temporarily because the Crown Princess is going back to Verbier again.

Crown Princess Mary is in Denmark to attended the presentation of the winners of the Media Competition for Schools 2020 at Politikens Hus in Copenhagen.

The Media Competition has death as topic - something that is hard for many, both children and adults, to talk about. This is what the competition is all about: getting knowledge about the media industry and use it as a way of opening up for a dialogue about a difficult topic as death and illness are. Children and young people in 6-10th grade have participated the competition. The project is organized by Ekstra Bladet, Jyllands-Posten, Politiken and now the Mary Foundation, Children, Youth and Grief and Stifterne joined the program. Crown Princess Mary attended to present the winners along with the Mary Foundation.

She was in a really splendid mood. All smiles and a happy spirit. Both participating children and other involved in the project, welcomed her with handshakes, flowers and smiley faces. Shortly, after the arrival Crown Princess Mary entered the stage. She gave a speech with personal references from her own life and how she dealt with both death and illness in her own family, when losing her mother in a very young age.

In her speech, she also announced the winning class (7th grade from Frederiksberg School), who received medals and a check of 5,000 Danish kroner. The Mary Foundation shared moments from the big day at Facebook. See the wonderful pictures below.

I cannot hide that I have been looking forward to this day. The day where she would return (also only just briefly) and attend the presentation of the Media Competition for Schools 2020. I did not know what to expect from her outfit, but it was not this. This is much better.

Mary had chosen a brand new printed blouse. It features some pretty incredible details: the color, print, collar and golden button. I learned that Sarah managed to identify Mary's new blouse as a Roberto Cavalli creation. Lovely, right? How would you style a blouse like this?

Mary matched her new pieces with simple black trousers and a long blazer-like coat. My guess is that she has worn the trousers before, such as the coat. It goes back to when Prince William and Catherine, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited Denmark in November 2011, here. Since then, Mary has worn this coat on three more occasions. Even though this makes it the fifth time she is wearing it, I still do not know where to find it.

She embraced the chic business look with old earrings from Figaros Bryllup. Maybe you remember that she wore them when visiting Moldova in 2016, here. The two bracelets have been seen before. One is from Cartier and the other one is a golden bangle from Dulong Fine Jewelry. If you look closely you will see a rather large ring on her right hand. To me it looks new. What is not new, it her leather belt from Céline and that quality Quidam clutch.
