Opening of Human Rights Forum 2021

16th August

After a long holiday with the rest of her family, Crown Princess Mary was back at work again. She started an exciting week by attending the opening of Human Rights Forum. The forum is a part of WorldPride and EuroGames. All three LGBTI+ events goes by the name Copenhagen 2021. Human Rights Forum is hosted by both Copenhagen 2021 and UNFPA.

Crown Princess Mary attended as patron of the United Nations Population Fund - also known as UNFPA and Copenhagen 2021. She arrived to the UN City in Copenhagen around 3pm local time. She was warmly welcomed by, among others, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UNFPA Dr. Natalia Kanem and Minister for Development Cooperation and Minister for Nordic Cooperation Flemming Møller Mortensen.

Human Rights Forum was all about human rights and the inclusion of LGBTI+ people. The Crown Princess beautifully made that part of her speech. She had the honor of giving the opening speech. A speech full of love, commitment and hope. Especially, love gives life fully meaning according to the Crown Princess. We should all have the right to find love and be loved. You find her speech here.

After her own speech, Crown Princess Mary closed followed a few panel debates from front raw. I guess, it was with open ears and eyes that she attended the debates. This is truly a topic close to her heart: we all have the right to belong. We all have the right to be heard.

Crown Princess Mary also had a more personal meeting with Executive Director for UNFPA Natalia Kanem and her team. They met at Amalienborg to discuss UNFPA's work on, among other things, COVID-19 and its impact on the organizations work locally and globally. Human rights were also on the agenda. Crown Princess Mary was accompanied by Christine Pii Hansen, her private secretary.

According to the royal court, Deputy Executive Director Ib Petersen, Chief, UNFPA Resource Mobilization Branch Klaus Simoni-Pedersen, Chief, Nordic Office, UNFPA Pernille Fenger and Senior Adviser in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Jane Werngreen Rosales also participated the meeting with the Crown Princess.

Many of us loves jumpsuits, but somehow we do not like to admit it. Well, at least we 'forget' to wear them. Jumpsuits are so lovely! They can be comfortable. Easy to style. Perfect for almost every occasion possible. We differently need to embrace jumpsuits and Mary gives us a clue on how. 

She looked smashing wearing that bright blue YDE Copenhagen suit. She has worn it a few times before. Twice, actually. First, when she attended a reception in addition to Women Deliver in 2016 (here). Later that same year, Mary showed us how to wear it another way. It was when visiting the United States in September 2016 (here). Finally, she wear it again!

This time, she embraced the style with a simple blue belt. A perfect colormatch. The colorpalet was all blue and gold. A match made in heaven. I love this colorcombo. I read that her pointed suede Gianvito Rossi pumps are a reuse, but somehow I cannot manage to recall when she has ever worn these before. I know she has quite a few pairs of blue pointed shoes made of suede, but these still look new to me. Can you enlighten me? Her leather handbag, on the other hand, is indeed a reuse. A lovely reuse. This Prada tote is truly one of Mary's favorite handbags.

As jewellery, she wore golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry featuring small diamonds. Looks really great with the rest of her look and others jewellery. Especially, the golden Cartier bangle and that little golden ring of hers. I see that I do not quite agree on one of her others bracelets. To me, it looks like Mary was wearing two diamond bangles from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. One in white gold and one in yellow gold.

Meeting with Executive Director for UNFPA Natalia Kanem, Mary embraced the same lovely outfit expect one little detail: she was wearing other shoes. At the opening of Human Rights Forum she wore navy blue suede pumps and at the Amalienborg-meeting, Mary wore nude Prada pumps. Amazing how much one single detail can change everything. Do you prefer the blue or nude ones?

First day at Herlufsholm

10th August

It was indeed a big day for the young and handsome Prince Christian. On August 10th, he started his three years a the gymnasium Herlufsholm. A boarding school in Næstved. He is to enter their health and nutrition department. His older cousin, Prince Nikolai, just graduated from Herlufsholm so he know all about how it is to both live there and study there.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary shared the day along with their oldest son, who is now living away from their family home. As any other parents, I guess it was a huge day for both of them. Their first born is now confirmated, moved and entering the gymnasium. The royal court shared a few new photos of the Prince and his parents from his first day at Herlufsholm.

Mary looked all proved next to her big son and husband. She had chosen to wear a brand new dress for the occasion. A blue, v-neck dress featuring what looks like a white leaf print. A bit 90s vibe or is it just me? I had really no idea, were to find this beautiful dress. Heaven was way more lucky than I. She was able to identify the dress as Miræ Paris.

In a way, I wish she was wearing wedges for this dress. That would be a lovely combination. A dress like this takes wedges with perfection. Mary is often seen wearing heels also in private. That is why I guess she was also wearing some for this special occasion. But I would not be surprised if she more casual heeled sandals or as I mentioned, wedges.

She also embraced the style by wearing a few pieces of stunning golden jewellery. First I noticed her rather huge Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings. Looked great! The longer necklace are from the same talented designer. Meanwhile, the other golden necklace is from Orit Elhanati. One of her most beloved necklaces probably of all times. I see a few rings too (or maybe just one), but the photo is too blurry for me to identify these rings.

Yet another thing that caught my mind is how long her hair has become. Some photo from their vacation have appear and they really show how long Mary's hair is at the moment. I do not think we have ever seen it this long. I like it. Do you?

UEFA Euro 2020 in London

07 July

It is no secret that I know very (very!) little about football. This kind of sports has never caught my attention, but the rest of the world seems to disagree with me - even our royal family. Both Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary share a great interest in numerous different sports. Riding, handball, swimming and of course football.

The Crown Prince Couple and their oldest son, Prince Christian, have already attended several games to support the Danish team. Wednesday evening, the three of them flew to London to watch Denmark against England in the semi final of the European Championship 2020 . The game was played at Wembley Stadium.

They arrived at Wembley twenty minitues before eight in the evening. All three of them were in a splendid mood. Smiling, laughing and having a great time together. Prince William sat close by and had a little chat with the Crown Princess and Prince Christian before the game was about to start. Prime Minister Boris Johnson watched the game too and also had the pleasure of meeting the family.

The Crown Prince Couple and Prince Christian had to leave London with no victory. England won the game. Congratulations!

I simply love Mary's style during these football games. I love that she wears the Danish colors and no the "obligatory" black. So many at the VIP lounge wore black and white, but not our beloved Crown Princess. Mary showed up wearing an old white Athé by Vanessa Bruno blouse and a dark red Alexander McQueen blazer. The blouse was first worn at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 (here). In London we only get a glimpse of how great this blouse looks, but luckily we have seen it before. We know how beautiful it is. Looks like she embraced the style with simple black trousers.

A closer look revealed to me that Mary had chosen some pretty incredible pieces of jewellery. Expensive jewellery, but easy to find cheaper. Her short golden necklace is from Orit Elhanati - one of her most worn necklaces. The other one, is from Dulong Fine Jewelry. This designer also created one of the golden bangles. She matched her look with a few other bracelets as well from Cartier and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

Mary also wore a couple of diamond rings. The golden band is an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen creation. Because of this design, I am pretty sure her new diamond earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Opening of Generation Equality Forum 2021

30 June

With a clear calendar, Crown Princess Mary had time to fly to Paris and attending the opening of the Generation Equality Forum. Prior to the opening, she met with Phumzile Mlambo-Ngucka the UN Women Executive Director and Anita Bhatia the UN Women Deputy Executive Director. The meeting took place ahead of the opening ceremony at the Danish Embassy in France.

Later that day, she arrived to the big opening of the Generation Equality Forum - an international summit that focuses on gender equality. Crown Princess Mary attended the summit as Honorary Advocate for Leaders for Generation Equality. She was accompanied by the Danish Minister of Development Aid Flemming Møller Mortensen. They two of them arrived at the same time.

The French President Emmanuel Macron hosted the opening ceremony at Carrousel du Louvre. Gender Equality Forum is organized between France, Mexico and UN Women. It gathered Ministers, international organizations, businesses from all over the world, etc. as a common platform to discuss issues and possible solutions for more equality. But the summit also marked the 25th anniversary of the Beijing-declaration constituted in 1995 as part of the UN's 4th World Conference.

I guess she arrival a day prior to the opening or earlier that Wednesday morning. Ahead of the opening ceremony of the summit Generation Equality Forum, Mary participated a meeting with Phumzile Mlambo-Ngucka and Anita Bhatia. For that meeting, she had chosen to wear a brand new blue suit. A comfortable and stylish linen blazer with matching trousers. Hope we get a close look some day soon. I feel in my bones that I will love it even more. She kept her outfit very simple. Suit, white t-shirt and brown leather belt but it works! Keep it simple, right? Mary really made that clear with this look.

Later that day, she changed to another stunning outfit. Arriving with Flemming Møller Mortensen, Mary wore a new black dress from Prada. I learned about the dress from Heaven. It features a pleated skirt, white dots and rather large gold buttons. In a way it features many retro vibe. Do you like her new dress? As Jennifer noticed, Mary has decided to make a few adjustments. A few golden buttons have been removed, some part of the satin ribbon has also been cut off and originally it comes with a little black bow on the neckline. In a second, I thought about something was different about the two dresses, but nothing I payed attention to. Maybe because the adjustments are so natural and well-made.

She accessorized her look with white pearl earrings and a golden bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry, such as a diamond ring from the same creator. Her other golden bangle is from Cartier. One of her most beloved pieces of jewellery. A close look revealed a diamond ring from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and two diamond bracelets from the same talented designer. Love this combo of bracelets.

The beautiful light brown leather tote is a Prada handbag. Mary has worn it on several occasions, but I was never able to find the right color. Apparently, it is hard to find this model in brown. Now I hit the jackpot. I found her brown Prada bag in the lovely brown color. She matched the bag with beige python pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Her face mask is from Kartó - a reusable mask. What an outfit!
