On May 2, 2024, King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark officially boarded the royal yacht Dannebrog at the Nordre Toldbod Cruise Port in Copenhagen on the occasion of the beginning of the new royal cruise season, which marks the Danish Royal Couple's continuation of the tradition of annual summer cruises. The official boarding of the Danish royals on the royal yacht is a yearly event that takes place in May.
The royal yacht Dannebrog serves as the official and private residence for the King and other members of the Royal Family when they are on summer cruises in home waters or on official visits overseas. This year, King Frederik and Queen Mary will carry out a late summer cruise with the royal ship Dannebrog from 19 to 22 August.
IRIS & INK Alison polka dot satin midi dress
Strange outfit of QM for aboard a ship.
ردحذفI expect she'll change into something more casual once the ship pulls away from the dock. I think this dress and his uniform are for the boarding and the waving goodbye, for the benefit of the public.
حذفPerhaps she attended another event first
حذفI agree Anon 14: 42 , especially that unusual thing on her head.
حذفits a ceremonial event to board the Royal yacht, as you can see from the crowd the band is playing, the Royal sailors get a salute from their commanding officer who is dressed in full military uniform.
حذفQueen Mary's hat reminds me of a bride's hat. Her navy dress is a reuse I think, and looks completely outdated.
ردحذفOutdated? It's classic!
حذفMary’s headpiece actually reminded me a little bit at first glance of the way her hair and her veil looked on her wedding day when viewed straight on.

@ Coralie
حذفThere is classic and classic. The dress reminds me too much of the dresses worn after the end of World War II and in the 50-s.
I am not a fan of this dress and accessories. Maybe without the white belt and a different hat.
ردحذفI love the elegance and formality of the start of the sailing season. I love therefore that Mary is wearing a hat and Fred his uniform. They look so elegant and happy starting out on the beautiful yacht, and I guess, who wouldn’t be?! (Grace)
ردحذفI agree about the formality and elegance. Mary looks like a Queen in her hat and classic dress. Of course FredX in his uniform is always a welcome sight!
حذفCinci
Perfect assessment! I agree 100%.
حذفJanet
Toujours une belle allure dans cette robe légère à pois mais j'aurais bien vu son serre-tête sans la voilette tout en conservant la ceinture blanche !
ردحذفNot good, Q M looks much older in this style!
ردحذفIs it a problem if someone looks older? - to discuss! (Ps I don’t think she looks older here, but simply stunning.) (Grace)
حذفLove the swinging dress - very beautiful couple.
ردحذفMagda
I think she looks wonderful!
ردحذفI do, too. They are a handsome couple.
حذفIndeed, fresh faced and classic! I love that her clothes don’t wear her; she’s above the her clothes which I like very much. MR
حذفI agree wholeheartedly. Mary is the newest of contemporary queens who are making traditional monarchies relevant to the realities of the current world. Her fashion choices reflect this too. Simple, smart outfits with throwback elements (her headpiece in this instance) makes her endearing to many generations, young and old.
حذف- Anon 9:13
Mary is the worst dressed queen in the world!
ردحذفOh, please! Don't be ridiculous.
حذفI think you have the wrong Mary! MR
حذفLol some of these negative commentators can be mistaken for russian bots 😂
حذفShe certainly isn't the best. Totally overrated in my opinion.
حذفsomeone's comment seeking attention
حذفI like Mary’s dress sense most of the time but surely Anon 09:11 has a right to her opinion?
حذفYou don't think you are overreacting, considering we have 2 Queens who loves Natans not very flattering dresses, a Queen who consistently
حذفwear sleeveless dreeses even if it's not the best choice for her body and then we have Camilla. I'm not saying they don't get it right a lot of the time, but also a lot of bad choices. But if it makes you feel better piss on Mary who has been a Queen for 2 seconds, and as a CP got it more right then all these Queens combined.
I seem to remember that the start of the sailing season is a formal event every year, so this classic dress is quite appropriate. I remain on the fence about the headband associated with the pony tail.
ردحذفNice to see Denmark’s young, modern King and Queen carrying out and continuing the traditions of their country. They both look so elegant but Queen Mary’s hat bothers me.
ردحذفTo me it’s from another era. Queen Mum of England comes to mind.
As @ Achard62 (Tulipe) mentions, maybe without the veil. A smallish serre-tete (headband cum hat) could do the job. Keeping in mind the risk of strong winds in this region.
..on point.
حذفI wonder if the Iris from the fashion name of IRIS & INK originates from Iris Apfel, the (totally) zany American fashion designer and later model.
ردحذفShe was known for her flamboyant style, outspoken personality and oversized eyeglasses.
She died in March 2024 at the age of 102 years.
I often thought she made Vivienne Westwood look boring.
At the age of 97, she signed a modelling contract with the global agency IMG
Two of her favourite quotes were
More is more and less is a bore”.
“Fashion you can buy but style you possess”.

This is very interesting, Deadeggs. I wonder what a conversation between her and Coco Chanel would have looked like?
حذفWell Coralie. I think a conversation between Iris Apfel and Coco Chanel would have been very interesting.
حذفThey were both “excellent” business women.
I think neither of the two had children. Business was their lives.
Wasn’t Coco Chanel a Nazi collaborator? Maybe you should read up on that before praising her.
حذف@ no name 18:40.
حذفCoco Chanel, Nazi collaborator - sorry not guilty.
If you reread my comment, I said - “Iris Apfel and Coco Chanel were both excellent business women”.
Dear ‘no name’ - sorry I won't be taking up your advice to do some reading.
If I do some reading, it will be on the massive fortune Coco Chanel left to her two partners. One of the partners is quoted as being the richest man in Switzerland.
She looks beautiful. The dress is classic, so elegant. I don't like the white belt but that's personal choice. The navy accessories look good. Not liking the hat either, but overall lovely presentation. It looks to be a Navy coat, I like this.
ردحذفLove the hat, love the dress - but not necessarily together. I think the dress is lovely for the occasion, the hat calls for a more formal/church-y event and a less busy gown. I prefer the picture with her hair down and the navy coat on top, but it's by no means a disaster.
ردحذف-Nika-
I think QM wore this dress for Christian’s confirmation.At that time she matched it with a nude pump and blue headpiece and belt.I wonder if that color is a better choice than the white.
ردحذفIt must be exciting time for them both! The start of many ‘firsts’ as King & Queen.
Looking forward to seeing QM attire throughout the tour.
Lowri.
I wander what will happen in the future to the feet of all these royals. It looks that Mary most of the time is walking on 10 cm high heels? The same goes for Maxima. She wears often the shoes of Natan that I have, impossible to walk on and the materialen cuts in your feet. Letizia has problems with her feet. Is that because of these high heels?
ردحذفI don't think we will ever get some statement on Letizias feet-problem. But I am quite sure it has to do with her shoes. When I was younger (which is a time ago), there were times in my life I owned only high-heeled shoes. Not one pair of flats! If I had a foot broken back in those days, I would have had to ask my best friend to go and buy me some sensible shoes. Well... I pay for that now...
حذفHer outfit seems to harken back to a time when traveling by ship was still popular, at the advent of airplanes and flying. The late 40s - early 50s, perhaps? Is she wearing a headpiece so the crowd can see her, is she adopting that practice? Veronica
ردحذفDear Veronica.
حذفI remember having to dress up to take a plane trip.😎
Can't see anything I like here.
ردحذفI remember reading that her hairdresser and her….(I think?) stylist both resigned just before she became Queen. Her look just is missing that sophistication she used to have.
ردحذفYes, no name 01:16
حذفIt appears Queen Mary’s hairdresser and makeup artist is retiring. He is 68 years old and is laying down his scissors and combs and passing on his responsibilities to a younger generation.
I think it's just a "changing of the gards" and nothing else.

Her stylist ?? don't know.

This has been my inner thought exactly since mid January. Even her hair style has changed. Less volume, more flat. It’s just my observations...
حذفI say no to the dress...and hairpiece.
