Summer tour with Dannebrog

- end of the tour

11 September 2024

Disembark Dannebrog

The King and Queen have enjoyed this summer on board Dannebrog visiting both Sweden, Norway, Greenland and a number of Danish cities - Bornholm, Ærø, Assens and Vejle.

Now the couple are back in Copenhagen and the summer at the royal yacht has ended. It has truly been an incredible summer! Don't you think? What a way to celebrate their first year as ruling couple of Denmark.

First a state visit in Sweden, then Norway followed by a trip to Greenland where the couple were accompanied by Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine. They ended this years session by visiting two Danish islands and two cities.

Somehow, I can't decide my opinion about this outfit. I really like her old navy wool-blend The Fold London suit. It's classy, chic and elegant at the same time. The details are outstanding. I'm also in love with the matching new patent leather pumps. Really clever of her to wear shoes in a similar color. Make the outfit look a bit more complete. I'm still on the look for the designer of her new pumps - any ideas?

The slash of green also makes a great combo. The Nina Ricci clutch is actually a cross-body bag with a removable strap. Mary first wore the clutch/bag at a business promotion visit in the United States in 2016. Then again in 2018 at the "World No Tobacco Day" and in Texas in 2019.

I also like the idea of matching the clutch with similar colors from the fine scarf, but the way she wore it as a hair piece, bothers me. For me it's a little too casual for the suit.

Mary styled her outfit with a fine anchor brooch, her beloved Halberstadt necklace and exclusive diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. This combo of diamond rings have been a favorite of hers for many years.

Gala dinner at Amalienborg

In the evening, King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted a gala dinner at Christian VII's Palace at Amalienborg for the officer of Dannebrog. Queen Margrethe also attended the prestiges dinner.

In Danish, the dinner is actually called a 'Strygemiddag' (stryge dinner). 'Stryge' is when the royal flag is removed from Dannebrog to mark the end of a successful summer tour.

Lately, I think Mary has switched from really classy and elegant outfits to confusing and odd combinations of clothes and accessories. Do you agree? Her outfit at the gala dinner was truly impressive! I always loved the colors of this Erdem dress. Looks amazing next to her fair skin and brown hair.

She first wore the dress 10 years ago at an anniversary event at the Opera on May 23rd 20214. Somehow, I favor her look from 2014 - except from the hairstyle. Her updo at the gala dinner take the lead.

Mary beautifully accessorized the fuchsia dress with stunning diamond and Amethyst earrings and a matching bracelet and ring. Think the earrings are a gift from her husband. The fine satin knot clutch is an iconic design by Bottega Veneta and the smashing purple suede pumps are from Gianvito Rossi.

Flag Day 2024

05 September 2024

Every year on September 5th, we honor those who are or have been missioned abroad. To honor their professional effort in some of the worlds areas of conflict.

The royal couple have been attending the Flag Day for many years. This is their first as King and Queen of Denmark. They attended a ceremony at Kastellet in Copenhagen and honored Danish soldiers who died or are lost in battle with a wreath.

Afterwards, the King and Queen joined a memorial service at Holmens Church.

This is an event that deserves a moment of silence. The course deserves to be the main focus. With Flag Day we honor Danish soldiers sent abroad to fight. Danish soldiers who have died or may be lost in battle. To their friends and families. I don't feel like commeting on style and fashion today. It is about much more important things. Let it speak for itself.

One minute in silence...

Mary looked like a shining star! I always adore this Moss & Spy dress. The detailing are so exquisite and delicate. The lace work is incredible. It is the forth time she wears the dress. First was in 2019 at a business promotion visit in Paris in October. Then at the opening of 'Mind the Music' in 2021 and again in 2023 at an official dinner. Which outfit do you fancy most?

She beautifully accessories her elegant dress with a brand new hairpiece from Ellen Hunter. About now, she owns six of these stunning combs. I bet you, more are coming. Love the combo of soft curls and a little shimmer.

The custom-made Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings are a perfect match. Did you know that these earrings comes with a variety of different pendants? - diamond, rose quartz, amethyst. She also wore fine golden bangles and some other sparkly bracelets.

Midnight blue Gianvito Rossi pumps and a matching blue satin box clutch from Prada. What is not to like? Think this is my favorite outfit worn with this dress.

Meeting with the Advisory Committee

29 August 2024

Queen Mary hosted a meeting for the Queen Mary Centers Advisory Committee at Kancellihuset at Fredensborg.

The meeting was centered around green solutions. One specific project was discussed. It's an initiative to bring scientists and students to work in closer relations with practitioners of green solutions outside of their usual workspace - laboratories and auditoriums.

The Queen Mary Center is all about knowledge through partnerships to create changes.

Mary really did look good in her simple white linen Bagutta blouse and black wide-legged trousers. Can't say anything bad - other than, I wish she would soon wear one of her other blouses. Think we have seen the Bagutta blouses enough at this point. How would you style black trousers?

Nevertheless, I like her casual look. Ponytail, Gucci glasses and golden Dulong Fine Jewelry jewellery. Her choice in jewellery made a comfortable outfit way more stylish. Perfect for a meeting. The shirt diamond necklace is Halberstadt. 

I see a second ring featuring a green stone. She has a few similar rings, but I not sure if it's new or reused. The diamond band is Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Imagine she's wear black pumps.
