    Loving all the fashion from this visit! They all are showing well amid the busy schedule and the weather looks perfect. One question, I’ve never seen a car shown in the first photo. Are there three sets of doors…one for the driver plus two more?

      All the big brands of cars like Rolls, Mercedes, ... sell cars like that. It is called a limo. Aristocrats, movie stars, musicians, famous hotels, .... they all have (or hire) a car like that to drive (and entertain) their guests from one place to another.

      The car is an Audi A8 L Extended 2015 model with a total length of 636 cm and has three doors on each side and two seat rows in the back with very comfortable seats.
      The car was delivered when the King and Queen celebrated their 25 years anniversary on the throne.

      That’s an extended limousine. I think other royal families have similar limos too.

    5. Now girls (and boys) isn't this off topic?
      BUT as it's for the 'royals' maybe the off topic can be stretched a bit (like the car) 😊

  2. I always think it's a great sign when a dress looks better on the subject than on the model. Here, it may be that I just prefer Queen Mary's choice of shoes. Either way, pretty dress! Everyone looked very well turned out, and happy to be together.

    1. Apparently the wardrobe teams/planners/advisors/coordinators
      in both Norway and Denmark did their jobs well and communicated between the two royal houses about who’s going to be wearing what and when.
      I can imagine there must have been a lot of memos going backward and forwards with details to avoid clashes, embarrassing moments, faux pas.
      Hope they give each team a bonus for the good synchronisation with the ladies (and gent's) wardrobes.

    Q S looks fantastic, like a sister to M and MM!

  4. I think we have seen this lovely dress on Mary before but those shoes would be way too high for me.
    MM looks smart and Queen S always looks great in a bright color.

    MM is wearing a new Pia Tjelta Alice Tinkerbell dress. They all look fab. So nice to see how close they are, and how much they appreciate each other.

    Nice summery dresses on both Queen Mary and CPMM. I am not a fan of prairie dresses but at least these do not have flounces.

    Great fashion and love seeing the close relationships during this visit! And, this Zimmermann dress on QM is an excellent example of an otherwise "girly" or "frilly" dress or pattern that still looks stylish and sophisticated because of the shoes and the overall styling and tailoring to body type. We never really see this work out entirely for MM, but I do think we see how it can work well with QM's styling here.

    All of them turn out well and relaxed. Especially the women have particular taste when it comes to their outfits.

  11. Queen Mary and Mette M look very nice and springy. Queen Sonja not so much, the color and shape of her dress clashes with the other ladies' looks.

    I like Mary's dress; and her earrings and jewellery,but I think Queen Sonia looks fresh and bright.I dont particularly like Mette's dress a bit old fashioned;even her hair looks boring(Tara)

    My favourite here is the crown princess’ outfit, but all the ladies look beautiful.
