Celebrating your 18th birthday is something special, at least if you live in Denmark such as Prince Nikolai does. Prince Joachim and Countess Alexandra's first born child, Prince Nikolai, celebrated this big day along with his family on board the Royal yacht Dannebrog Monday evening. The dinner was hosted by his grandmother Queen Margrethe. Invited were Prince Nikolai's mother, father, stepmother, siblings, aunt, cousins and of course his grandparents. All guests seemed to be in a splendid mood when arriving to Dannebrog in the evening. Especially Prince Joachim and Countess Alexandra showed great pride in what a civilized young man their son has become. Several times during the arriving, we have pictures of Princess Athena hugging her older brother with great love. Absolutely adorable. Also Crown Princess Mary and her four children were in a splendid mood attending the birthday dinner. We even got a smile from Prince Vincent, which we rarely see. Because of a IOC Coordination Commission meeting in South Korea did Crown Prince Frederik not attend his nephews big day. Usually, the royal family arrive by car but this time the Crown Princess and her children walked to their destination. Dannebrog was docked in the harbor right next to their home, Frederik VIIIs palace at Amalienborg. Prince Christians, in his black suit, was the one to carry the present (I assume) for his cousin. We differently need more of these family gatherings -am I right?

Both Prince Christian and Prince Vincent each wore a black suit, white button-downs and butterfly's identified as Ralph Lauren by Royalty Wardrobe, here. Already two handsome young men. Their sisters in full-skirt dresses and matching white coats from ZARA, here, similar to one of Mary's. Princess Josephine's yellow embroidered tulle dress has been identified as H&M, here. I guess that Princess Isabella could be wearing her birthday dress, here, from Morley, here.

Mary herself was dress in one of her good old golden Prada dresses. I am sure I will be able to find pictures of all the events she has worn this dress, but I will try and if one (or two) is missing you let me know, right? The dress goes back to Prada's Fall Winter 2004 collection. Mary has worn the dress in: 2004, 200620092012. This proves that style never outdate. When do you think she wore it better? Any favourite look? I am very thrilled of her latest look and the one in 2006. Even the shoes Mary had chosen to wear are reused golden wonders seen at several previous events -I hardly remember half of them. She embrace the golden outfit by wearing her Cenius & Bach earrings and a Cartier bracelet along with a few other bracelets. I also noticed a rather large ring on her right hand, but I can't seem to find any close-ups to get a closer look. As goes with the arrival, another thing was a... bit different than usual because Mary did not carry her own clutch at the birthday dinner -her oldest daughter did. Princess Isabella had the honor to wear her mothers clutch and she did like a royal woman. I don't know if you noticed it before I mentioned it, but I love the fact that the Princess helped out her mother. Hair and makeup were exquisite as always. Overall Mary's look reminds me so much of a typical 20s outfit with the low waistline, embellished dress and soft curly hairstyle.

Instagram: new royal puppies


A couple of months ago the Crown Prince family welcomed a new puppy 'Grace' in their family because the beloved Ziggy pasted away. Now eight new royal puppies have been born. It is Prince Henrik's dog Tillia who gave birth to these eight sweet puppies. The royal family shared a short video of Grace having a great time with the new puppies in the gardens around Amalienborg -where both the Queen and Prince Henrik and the Crown Prince couple live. 


Puppies are always a great joy for both children and adults. To share this joy with the rest of us (who can't play with them and have fun) the royal family shared a photo showing Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik along with the Crown Prince couple's four children and al the sweet puppies (and the proud mother) during Sunday at Fredensborg castle. A really lovely photo!

Meeting with Kræftens Bekæmpelse

Tuesday, August 22nd

● Instagram ● 

Unofficially the Crown Princess attended a work meeting along with Kræftens Bekæmpelse and some of their representatives. Only a couple of photos have been published taken by someone from Kræftens Bekæmpelse. From what I see the Crown Princess was warmly welcomed and arrived with a huge smile on her face on a sunny Tuesday. At the meeting she was informed about the organizations work -present activities and future projects. According to Kræftens Bekæmpelse she was very interested in everything presented to her at the meeting. The Crown Princess has for years been involved in Kræftens Bekæmpelse's work as, among others, their patron. 

We have had a few wonderful summer days in Denmark, but not many. One of them is for sure the day Mary payed a visit to Kræftens Bekæmpelse. An opportunity you can't miss and she didn't. Mary wore a brand new creamy outfit. For a very long time I was sure she was wearing a new blouse and an old Day Birger et Mikkelsen skirt. We really do not have any quality pictures from the event, which makes a bit more difficult. With help from Heaven the theory has been proven wrong. Heaven has found a dress from Stella McCartney that looks like a two piece outfit. It is not. In fact Mary is wearing a dress. A pretty cool design. Can't wait to see it again. Would really also like to have seen which pair of shoes she wore with this outfit, but I can't tell. Embracing the style with a Dulong Fine Jewelry bracelet featuring different stones, her diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and a long necklace she dazzled at this meeting. She has a couple of similar necklaces, but I think this one is new.

UNLEASH event 2017

Monday, August 21st



At this years UNLEASH event taking place in Aarhus, the Crown Princess was invited to attend. UNLEASH gathers about 1,000 young talents from all over the world and their creative and innovative solutions to reach UN's 17 sustainable world goals. A project the Crown Princess has represented at previous events. The event started on August 13th and lasted till August 21st, which is also where the UNLEAH Award Show took place in Musikhuset in Aarhus. Famous people from everywhere in the world entered the stage to give a speech. One of them was the Danish Crown Princess; speaking about new opportunities and how this event is challenging us to work together to find solutions to worldwide issues. Her speech has been praised and I understand why. Take a few minutes and listen, here. Earlier in the day she was given the opportunity to see some of the young talent's inventions and creative developments. And many of them caught the Crown Princess' interest. I am truly honored that Denmark host an event like this. 



Mary was really dressed up for the occasion. No doubt about that. She had chosen to wear her beautiful belted red Dolce & Gabbana dress. A stunning dress we have seen several time before. But I am actually not quite sure when we saw it the first time. I claim it was in 2014 when she attended a meeting before Christmas with the Mary Foundation, here. Then Mary appeared wearing the dress again in 2015 at a Christmas show hosted by DR, here and as you remember earlier this year, here. When do you think she wore it better? At the UNLEASH event she embrace a chic and business-like style by wearing a black blazer and python pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Talking about shoes, it is worth mentioning that during the day she changed to a pair of cap-toe ballet flats. I was so sure we had seen those ballet flats before. Still, it took me two days to recall when she wore them. It was in 2011, visiting New York along with the Crown Prince on a official state visit, here. We rarely see her in ballet flats at official event, but this time was different. As accessories Mary had chosen her favourite jewellery from Hartmann's, Orit Elhanati, Dulong Fine Jewelry, Cartier and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Another beautiful piece worn at UNLEASH is an good old brooch. I haven't heard anyone talking about her daisy brooch. So, now I will probably be the first one to mention it and the fact that it was worn before. It was on June 3rd 2010 on an official visit in Washington, here. Ten years later, Mary dazzled like a star wearing her Daisy brooch from Georg Jensen. Matching the outfit perfectly, she also wore red Prada sunglasses and a Dolce & Gabbana tote bag.
