Day 1.

Official visit to Greenland

29 June 2024

What we have all been waiting for: the King and Queen have started their official visit to Greenland. It turns out the Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine accompanied their parents. The family are staying at Dannebrog while visiting a number of Greenlandic cities.

The family arrived in Pituffik Space Base with an official welcoming in Qaanaaq. The couple also visited Qaanaaq back in 2004, when the Queen attended her first official visit to Greenland along with (then) Crown Prince Frederik and her parents-in-law.

After a reception at Qaanaaq City Hall and a following 'kaffemik' they arrived at Aasiaat and were welcomed at Aasiaat Museum and Niels Egedes Square.

A long day has passed and the royal family boarded Dannebrog to dock Qeqertarsuaq tomorrow.

The weather seems a bit on the close side in Qaanaaq. Mary was warmly dressed in a pair of black wide-legged trousers and a brand new knitted sweater. We get a glimpse of a soft reused ba&sh blouse underneath. 

Mary had then chosen a new caramel wool-blend coat from Stella McCartney. Like these oversize coats/blazers but not for me. Makes me look smaller and wider. The down-vest is an old one from Uniqlo.

She styled the outfit with black boots, cozy brown gloves, a knitted hat (new?) and an amazing navy blue scarf. I also see a golden diamond bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry and stunning shiny earrings. I have never been able to identify the earrings. Maybe one day. Her ring is Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

Crown Prince Christian's graduation ceremony

28 June 2024

On June 24th, Crown Prince Christian graduated high school from Ordrup Gymnasium. Graduating high school in Denmark comes with a graduation ceremony. Ordrup Gymnasium celebrated the graduation on June 28th.

The Crown Prince was accompanied by his fellow students and of course his family. King Frederik and Queen Mary attended the ceremony from front raw with Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine.

Tradition prescribes 'studenterkørsel'. The students drive from one students home to another in different types of trucks. Partying, having fun and celebrating their graduation. Of course the truck also stopped by Amalienborg. The Crown Prince and his classmates were all warmly welcomed by the royal family - also Queen Margrethe.

Love her look at Christian's graduation ceremony! She looks amazing in her POLO Ralph Lauren two-piece. Mary first wore the set at the opening of Jetsmark in August 2023. Really like the 'casual vibe'. Great match with those brown heeled Gianvito Rossi sandals. Comfy meets classy. Once again, she wore the set with a simple white blouse.

She accessorized her outfit with incredible reused golden earrings from Orit Elhanati. Adore Elhanati's craftsmanship. She is very talented. Her masterpiece necklaces are created by Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. Did you notice that Mary also wore her green emerald and diamond ring from Annikat?

I am a Prada-bag-girl. I do not own a single one, but Mary convinced me years ago. Her Prada bag collection is outstanding. Especially, her handbags. Like the one she wore at her son's graduation. Everything is perfect.

The cool blue shades are from Gucci.

The King's personal library

27 June 2024

The King's personal library (in Danish 'Kongens Håndbibliotek') was founded at the time of King Frederik 5. in 1746 and is a collection of the private books, manuscripts, maps, pictures, photos and music. 

Till now, the library has been limited for the Danish monarchs but from June 29th the personal library will be open to the public - on weekends and during the summer holiday. It is located at Christian VIII's Palace at Amalienborg in Copenhagen.

A few days before the official opening, King Frederik and Queen Mary visited the library for a little talk and a view on some of the library's fine art.

Wish we had more photos from their visit at the library. Something that showed a few more details about her outfit. But I like what I see. Mary matched soft blue button-down with what I believe to be light grey trousers and a chic brown leather belt. I am nothing closer to identify her outfit. Maybe one day.

Mary's is indeed casual and down-on-earth. Hardly any makeup and simple ponytail. I love her confidence and that fact that Denmark's Queen are willing to post photos like these for the world to see. Adore the message.

Her beloved necklaces are Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. The tortoise-like glasses are Gucci. Think it is her favorite pair of glasses.

Crown Prince Christian has graduated high school

24 July 2024

Our beloved Crown Prince Christian has finally graduated high school! He graduated from Ordrup Gymnasium in Gentofte.

Both his proud parents and younger siblings were there to congratulate him and celebrate the day. No doubt that King Frederik and Queen Mary were incredibly proud of their eldest. Even I feel he was just brought home from Rigshospitalet in 2006.

In a few days, he will participate a traditional graduation ceremony along with all his other classmates.

What a lovely family! It is precious to see them all togther. Celebrating Crown Prince Christian's important day. They were all dressed casual, yet polished. Princess Isabella and Princess Josephine in windy blouse. Prince Vincent in white shorts - matching his older brothers bright white trousers and King Frederik in two different shades of blue.

Mary on the other hand wore a wonderful printed Zimmermann skirt and a beloved white linen Bagutta blouse. One she has become very fond of lately. She first wore the beautiful skirt on a business trip to Indonesia in 2019.

She embraced the down-on-earth-look with brown midi heeled sandals from Gianvito Rossi and a chic Prada bag. I really love that bag! The texture is great. Mary's fine jewellery are earrings and a golden bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau necklaces. The ring is created by Annikat.
