Queen Margrethe II abdicated on January 14th 2024, during the 52nd anniversary of her reign, and was succeeded immediately by King Frederik on this date. Christian became Crown Prince of Denmark. Mary became Queen of Denmark.

ReplyDeleteAnon 16:37 You keep repeating yourself. What's your point? By the way, it is "title".
DeleteThis is an unhelpful, troll-like comment on a fashion blog. The entire group of people in these photos, not just Mary, look happy in and smiling in most of the shots. We really do not know what any of them are thinking. The deep blue jewel tone of Mary’s outfit is a flattering color for her. Her hairstyle is also pretty with her face shape. Josephine’s soft pink coat is also lovely on her and suits her age and complexion.
DeleteYes, I see it really took the frowns away
Delete-A Summer
she has always had a warm smile and pleasant to the public, it you who is seeing her differently.
DeleteGive us a rest. Mary knew what her role would be when she decided to marry Frederik, just like Kate, Letizia, Maxima, Mathilde and Mette-Marit. Would you use the same comment about them? If not why Mary?
DeleteGenoveva is that you?
DeleteThis "Anonymous 16:37" troll keeps on getting in.
DeleteHelen needs to change the locks on all the doors.
In the meantime, let's just ignore her.
Queen Mary and Princess Benedikte look wonderful in their royal blue outfits. Queen Margrethe in her regal purple and lovely warm coat looks great.The children all smart and smiling 🙂
Delete@Anon 16 37, I’m sure she’s massively proud of her new title as she has every right to be. Not sure what point you are trying to make

Magnifique Reine Mary.

Lovely photos of the whole family and very nice to see Q.Margarethe and P.Benedicte.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering - is there any significance to wearing purple on this occasion, since all three senior royal ladies are wearing this colour?
- Anon 9:13
Purple, just like royal blue, is one of the colours historically associated with royalty. It is also one of Queen Mary's best colours, which I think she knows, because she chooses it often...
DeleteQueen Margrethe is wearing the same dress she wore when she announced her abdication on TV, that could also be why they chose it... But I think they definitely coordinated the colour.
C EST MARY ,et non Marie !
ReplyDeleteTout à fait et j'ai une petite astuce pour celles qui seraient tentées de les confondre car l'épouse du prince Joachim a des origines françaises -(née Cavallier) d'où son prénom de Marie !
DeleteEven count Ingolf of Rosenborg and countess Sussie were there as part of the royal family.
ReplyDeleteYes, nice to see them out and about. They are cousins to Queen Margrethe .
DeleteCountess Sussie has always been a smart dresser and often wore a "wow" evening gown to royal galas.
It is the same coat dress Mary wore to King Charles’ coronation. Soeren Le Schmidt once again.
ReplyDeleteAnd both girls are wearing coats previously worn by Queen Mary. The pink one CPM had worn with the matching pink skirt and black top & heels for a very sophisticated look in 2015/16 at a Women’s Conference on Shelters with Queen Maxima. What a great closet for the girls to shop. All 3 coats look great and with the added flower Josephine’s is so teen appropriate.
DeleteGlo
Josephine and Isabella look lovely in their coats and matching handbags, i wish they wore tights and not buggy trousers, or something teenage like.
ReplyDeleteQueen always looks divine.
teenagers wear baggy pants at least in this part of the world. I am happy they have nice coats in lovely colours borrowed from their mother's closet. Queen Mary looks great in the this beautiful coat dress she wore the other day. Everyone is really looking their best.
DeleteNot just kids. We all use baggy pants also the royal ladies like Mary and even me and I'm 56 ;) It's fashion right now.
DeleteMary should wear this shade of purple all the time. It suits her so well. (Is it royal purple? 😄)
ReplyDeleteOn retrouve la même couleur de robe tant chez Margrethe que Benedikte mais l'une a bien su associer le gris de sa fourrure avec celle de sa toque ; comme d'habitude, beaucoup de goût chez Benedikte car elle a su trouver un look qui lui va à merveille et bien-sûr, je n'oublie pas le choix de ses bijoux ; dommage que je ne vois pas bien sa broche. Ravissantes Isabelle et Joséphine dans ces couleurs douces rose et bleu ; elles se sont concertées pour le même choix de pochette !
ReplyDeleteOn other photo's you can see that Mary wears the F - of Frederik- around her neck! How unreal real is this?
ReplyDelete-Anna-
Can't we stop gossiping? Spreading this, we only admit that we believed the press's bs, and narrative even if Casanova said all this was a lie.
DeleteI agree with you Anna. This is not gossip. The pictures and video in Madrid were real.
DeleteActually Anna she’s been wearing that “F necklace” consistently for years- so really real. Completely agree Anon 22/1/24 6:38.
DeleteGlo
I saw a close-up of the new queen, and the jewelry she is wearing doesn't go together at all. Total clash of style and color of the earrings, two necklaces and a brooch. On top a very heavy face up. BTW does Frederik wear an M tattoo or necklace?
DeleteIt is a shame we cannot zoom the pictures. Is it possible to change this?.
ReplyDeleteclick on - save image as... then press to your photos file where you can zoom pictures. It works for me.
DeleteAva
To my eyes, the colour doesn't actually suit a brunette like Mary at all. But otherwise it's lovely to see the whole family there and the teens borrowing their mother's clothes.
ReplyDelete-B.
I don’t agree. This blue and purple really suits a brunette. Funny how we appreciate it differently 😉
DeleteI think darker, jewel toned colors suit a brunette like Mary better than pastels. Pastels tend to wash Mary out in my pinion.
DeleteYes!! I love that they borrow their mum's coats. It is a lot like any other family. Although we had m&s coats and not prada ha ha. The girls look lovely
DeleteAnd then it becomes "first up, best dressed"
DeleteSometime there's not a great choice left for mum and her shoes will go missing 😁
I'm a similar brunette myself and purple -- especially the colder shade of purple as in these photos -- makes me look like a zombie, and the same goes for blue, too. The cold colours just clash with my own warmer shades, and the result is not flattering at all. You begin to look pale and your hair looks suddenly almost greyish, as is the case with Mary here too. Warmer, even fiery colours or more earthy tones would suit Mary much better. (No pastels or greys either, heaven forbid! :-) ) But perhaps there were other factors behind her choice of colour here.
Delete-B.
Mary, purple and a pillbox hat - it doesn't get much better than that. Lovely ensemble and the shawl looks quite elegant with it. Frederik looks smashing, too. Being king suits him and it makes me very, very happy that he can grow into the role without having to grieve his mother at the same time. I'm happy that we see the tradition of "ruling until the last breath" being broken more often these days. That being said, it's lovely to see Margrethe is still out and about and while I do wish her a fulfilling retirement, I hope she never fully disappears from the scene. And oh my, Benedikte - she's definitely up there with Mary fashion-wise. What a gorgeous cape! I'm also glad the girls got to wear coats. Looking at Christian and Vincent in just their suits makes me shiver, to be honest. Great family outing overall!
ReplyDelete-Nika-
Yes it does not get better than this. Mary and Benedikte are my favourites. (Can Mary give the brand of her tights to Maxima, who is always wearing those ugly shining ones)
DeleteQMar looks stunning! Her purple outfit is beautiful and the color is perfect on her. Its wonderful to see QMarg and PBenedikte--also wearing purple. They look great and QMarg has such a happy smile. Isabella looks very pretty in her mom's blue Prada coat--I have always loved that pale blue coat on Mary and I think it looks wonderful on Isabella too. Josephine is certainly pretty in pink and I believe the coat also belongs to her mother. What lucky girls having a chance to "shop" in their mom's closet! Christian and Vincent look handsome in their blue suits while King Fred is super handsome in his uniform.
ReplyDeleteJanet
I love the dark blue and purple colorcombination. Such a warm and chic combo. It suits QM very well. She looks great but personally and with the hat I would have loved her hair in an updo.
ReplyDeleteI was pleased to see QM re-wear this coat dress. Its a slightly different shade to the hat.The dress is a more cool toned purple. Not a criticism more an observation.
ReplyDeleteThe young princesses wearing their Mothers coats keeps the re-wear policy going in the family.I’m sure we’ll see Vincent in Christian clothing in time.
QM2 looks cosy and warm.Though I was surprised to see her brave the weather.If anyone deserves a day in front of the fire it’s her!
PB as always looks well put together. Bea
Ok for the rewear policy, but the youngest daughter seems to drown inside that pink coat... And the blue one too seems too big for Isabella. Next time buy new coats, at least for an event such this one.
DeleteAnon 22:20. Josephine drowning in her coat, Isabella's also too big? On another forum a commenter criticized that it was one size to small. I guess, we all see what we want to see and if it is criticizing one wants to do, then nothing will be good enough. To me, they all look great. Lucy
DeleteWhat style fantastic look of the Q and the Pss,s I like the colors and style of the pink and light blue coats a lot. IMO the pink coat is more elegant. I wish I had them in my wardrobe. As usual Mary looks stunning and so do Margreth and Benedikte. css
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the whole family. Everyone looks great. The princesses are becoming lovely young ladies, Vincent will definitely break some hearts! :-)
ReplyDeletePillboxhat isn’t elegant, so many other hatstyles is better!
ReplyDeletePersonally i find it suits her well. Very elegant and class.
DeleteFiona
I love the coats.Josephine looks stylish with the pearls.The lads look good in their suits .
ReplyDeleteQueen Mary has certainly gone all out with everything matching,gloves,bag,hat shoes.The pillbox hat is good as Mary's face is not obscured .King Frederick looks very Regal in his uniform.(Tara)
I’m not feeling the navy blue with purple. That notwithstanding, Queen Mary looks happy. Her hair is styled beautifully with the pillbox hat. The boys look smart in their respective suits and both girls look stylish with their colorful coats. King Frederick is always handsome in uniform. It was nice to see Queen Margarethe and Princess Benedikte out as well. Both lovely in royal purple.
ReplyDeleteMary is a winter toning so therefore the jewel colours suit her perfectly, it is the pastel pinks and greys that do not suit her. The girls look lovely today, even if they are wearing trousers, they look their age and it is cold there. All the family look happy and well mannered. Leave them alone.
ReplyDeleteLove the color combination of dark blue and purple. Queen Mary looks wonderfully elegant, just as Queen Marg and Princ.Benedikte,
ReplyDeletePrincess Isabella in blue and Princess Josephine in pink also look lovely.
Kaarin
Pillpox isn’t elegant? I just ♥️ it and the hole outfit!
ReplyDeleteContradictory statement, the hat is a part of her outfit, yet you love her outfit.☺️
DeleteI love that they share coats. So like a regular family
ReplyDeleteThe colours of the coats Josephine and Isabella are wearing are simply beautiful ~ Louise.
ReplyDeleteMary is a beautiful and elegant lady, of course she always looks good, but here she is breathtaking! And her pretty daughters in these lovely coats...simply wonderful. The danish people must be so proud!
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be so fun and interesting to see the fashion evolution of Queen Mary and the princesses. Right now, I'll be wondering, "What special touch did she make to elevate this from Crown Princess to Queen?" For this ensemble, it seems the color and the cape is quite dramatic as well. All look lovely, however. You can see the children are really enjoying this as well, which is nice.
ReplyDelete-Aloise
As my favorite royal Mary has always been special and beautiful to me and she will always be special. The entire family are dressed impeccably. God save the Queen (s) ! FITZHUGH
ReplyDeleteSplendid outfits on all the ladies. Especially enjoyed the deep purple them crossing over the generations to each woman. Edwina
