Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary visited Vordingborg

On June 15, 2019, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary visited the Danish Castle Centre in Vordingborg to celebrate the 800th anniversary of Dannebrog fall (Danish flag). Danish national historiography connects the introduction of the flag to the Battle of Lindanise of 1219. According to the legend the Danish flag fell down from the sky in the Battle of Lindanise, also known as the Battle of Valdemar, near Lindanise (Tallinn) in Estonia, of 15 June 1219. Presently in Tallinn the Danish King's Garden in Old Town is regarded as the place where the flag fell down, and it is marked with a memorial. (Crown Princess Mary wore a silk-georgette dress by Raquel Diniz.)

    1. I think what is bothering you is that the hat is not Mary’s style. It’s too “fussy” for her.
      Everything else is just right.

    2. Beautiful dress!! the hat is the problem indeed, as already said "too fussy" for her! To me the hat = some overdressing for the event.

    1. As if she is walking on the Danish flag - insult!

  5. The shoes are incredible. What a brilliant idea.

  6. An unusually exuberant hat for Mary, which I like but I don't think it coordinates well with the red dress. I will hope to see it again, with a different outfit. That said, Mary as usual looks lovely and event-appropriate.

      That hat does not go with her dress at all, there's really no need for it. Frederik and Mary seem a lot - a lot - happier together in the last little while.

    I love the beige hat with the red dress. Red and beige go very well together. I think the hat is a nice touch with a simple red dress. The shoes!! She's just stunning!

    Magnifiques chaussures! Par contre, je ne trouve pas que le chapeau va avec le style de la robe.

    ...und Mary trägt endlich mal wieder ein Hut.
    Wunderschön. Auch das Kleid. Die Farbe steht ihr richtig gut.

    Same here. I don't like this hat, especially with the dress. Anyway the red color does look spectacular on her, great idea for the shoes as well. They are a very handsome couple.

  13. Mary looks very good, red is becoming color to her and I love that hat. Also I love to see how they look like newly weds after 15 years of marriage and four children.

  14. Love the dress and shoes and I also love the hat - but not here. It seems too dressy and too formal.

    I've also noticed that Mary and Frederik seem to enjoying a sort of second romance recently. Good for them.

    It's my thinking that she chose a fussy hat because the dress is relatively 'plain', beautiful though as the dress is. Yes, the hat is not her usual style (Catherine would love it), but I'm fine with it. The red and beige combo work fine together and Mary looks fantastic in the overall ensemble. Good for her for stepping outside the box and surprising us.

  16. Mary in Red - fits her perfectly. Lovley to see this happy couple.

  17. And no to the dress and the colour.
    The hat or should I say what is not flattering at all on her.
    The outfit would have been perfect in the wizard from oz movie.It is only the magic stick missing.

  18. I think the flower on the hat is HUGE!!!!
    Kate Middleton has a similar but nicer hat!!!!
    Perfect dress and shoes !!!
