On Friday, August 1, 2025, King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark attended the traditional changing of the guard ceremony held at Gråsten Castle. Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent, and Princess Josephine accompanied the King and Queen during the ceremony. Also present at the event were Prince Gustav, Princess Carina, and their children, Prince Gustav Albrecht and Princess Mafalda.[ads id="ads1"]
A ceremonial changing of the guard with a parade is always held when the royal family is in residence at the castle. For the occasion, Queen Mary wore a polka-dot dress by Weill. Princess Isabella wore a botanical-print midi skirt by La DoubleJ, while Princess Josephine chose a green “Minthe” mini dress by Ba&Sh.Weill Polka Dot Dress

They all look lovely. Casual and relaxed, yet also stylish. All the women are perfectly dressed, each according to their particular styles, especially Josephine and Isabella.
ردحذفThe little kids are so cute. I love the family interaction between these little ones and the king and queen, and on a broader level, between all these various first and second cousins. Happy summer holidays to them all.

Das ist kein schönes Urlaubskleid mit den Punkten, es strahlt keine Ferienstimmung aus. Auch wirkt es gewollt schwungvoll ; ) aber so leicht und Urlaubsfröhlich sehen all die anderen Damen aus. Na ja sie sind privat sicher haben sie sehr viel Programm zum entspannen und erholen. -Dorothe-
ردحذفMir gefällt Marys Kleid sehr gut. Sie sieht, wie immer, toll aus!
حذفIsabella hade lånat den långa kjolen av mamma Mary! /Wahlstedt
ردحذفJe crois que Mary n'a pas porté cette jupe. Vous confondez peut-être avec les jupes Zimmermann. Paloma.
حذفWahlstedt at 16:47 is right. Mary has worn this Botanical Print Midi Skirt earlier, source instagram @royal.fashion.daily
حذفI agree with some other commenters that Isabella's outfit looks a little bit "heavy" but she still looks beautiful in it. I like most Josephine's dress, it's youthful and suits her young age. The little children are adorable.
@royal.fashion.daily indique que Mary a déjà porté cette jupe mais il n'y a pas pourtant pas de photo. Je veux bien un lien vers une photo de Mary avec cette jupe svp car je n'ai pas le souvenir de l'avoir déjà vue. Merci Zucchina. Paloma.
حذفPaloma, me neither couldn't find a photo and I have searched everywhere in internet.
حذفAll look lovely and casual. These outfits queen has a nice dress that looks like it woild be comfortable to wear
ردحذفGlad to see the second earring has gone from Mary's daughter. The skirt she wears is much too long.
ردحذفMuch too long? Nah, have you tried wearing a long cotton skirt in summer? Feels lovely and feminine and free. Just the summer holiday vibe we hope every young woman can feel.
حذفI am thinking the second earring was cuff that bends a round the ear without actually going through it.
حذفWhy shouldn't she wear a second earring if she wants to? I don't understand what is wrong with that.
حذفHer skirt is being worn as it was designed to be worn, therefore it is not too long. Too long means that skirts and dresses are being worn longer than they were designed to be worn. A knee length skirt worn to the ankles would be too long. This is perfect.
Always in a judgemental mood?
حذفThis is a maxi summer skirt. Very nice, rarely out of fashion, and - of course - perfect in length. Why is there such a drama because of a second earring worn on one of her ears? It was a point of criticism at their last outing (arrival ceremony at Graasten) as well.
حذفTop!
ردحذفWhat a lovely company!
Q. Mary in lovely dress, nice skirt of the eldest and cute dress of the youngest daughter; men smart casual!
Finally a dress that really, really suits Mary.(with the quirky dots).
ردحذف???
حذفOnly exaggerations ...
حذف!!!
حذفLittle Mafalda looks like Isabella did at that age. So precious.
ردحذفAll the ladies look lovely in their chosen ensemble.
What a lovely time to catch up with family and friends.
Lowri.
Little Mafalda looks adorable in her pink floral baby outfit and, in the 3rd picture close-up, very much resembles her cousin Isabella!
ردحذفI don't think so.
حذفNo she looks like her mother
حذفI agree @19:21. Very cute!
حذفLovely outfits for everyone. Mary's dress looks great. Little Gustav Albrecht and Mafalda are so cute. Hope more family members will join them, let's hope. I must say Josephine is a real beauty. Sadly, Christian was not there.

I like the king his belt. Not a fan of PrIsabella her out fit. Maybe a blouse without puffy sleeves would have better with this busy printed skirt.
ردحذفThe royal family looks very good -- casual and all neatly attired. I knew someone would bring up the "earring thing". But own it and sign your name, please.
ردحذفVirginia, you will never ever meet this person who goes by anonymous, will you feel vindicated if they sign their name, what if they use a fake name so at the end of the day can you prove the identity of this person. Lastly if Helen did not have the support of all of the commenters she would not be able to bring us this wonderful content that we all enjoy. Let it go darling!!!!!!
حذفQueen Mary looks lovely in this dress, I really like this dress. She looks fabulous.
ردحذفWhat I like about this family is how the cousins are together, enjoying the special summer location
ردحذفMalfalda is that a typical danish name? Teasuremine
ردحذفNo, Mafalda is not a typical Danish name. It is the Italian or Spanish/Portuguese equivalent of the German name Mathilde. Her father, Prince Gustav, belongs to the House of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, and he is also the head of the entire House of Sayn-Wittgenstein. This is German nobility. Princess Benedikte is Danish. She married Prince Richard zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, who sadly passed away in 2017.
حذفI have a Portuguese friend and her name is Mafalda.
حذف- Anon 9:13
As far as I know Princess Carina's mother is of Mexican origin. So, that might explain the name Mafalda for their daughter.
حذفThe name Mafalda has most probably been chosen on purpose. There is Mafalda of Hesse, long dead, you will find her sad history on the Internet. Practically all major German princely, ducal and royal houses are related so that the name Mafalda carries a certain weight.
حذف🌞 Virginia
Not only does Mafalda sound very cute, it is also the name of a well-known character from a children's book: she is strong, funny, clever and has a great sense of humour. She always finds a way. Who wouldn't want that for their child? It's quite possible that Princess Alicia, who also writes children's books, had this connotation in mind when choosing the name. At the same time, several women in the German aristocracy are called Mafalda. For example, the designer Mafalda von Hessen.

حذفMathilde is indeed an old German (middle ages) name. It is a name that is used in France (Mathilde), Belgium, (Mathilde) Australia (Mathilda, Matilda), England (Maud), Germany (Mathilde), The Netherlands (Mathilde). There has been an English queen Mathilde in the middle ages, I think, but I have to look it up again to be sure.
I found the history of Queen Mathilde (Maud) of England. The resume is in Dutch. You'll have to use google translator if you wish to know who she was :
حذف"De vraag "koningin Mathilde Engeland" verwijst waarschijnlijk naar Mathilde van Vlaanderen, die in 1066 koningin van Engeland werd na haar huwelijk met Willem de Veroveraar. Ze was een Vlaming, geboren in Brugge, en werd na de Normandische verovering van Engeland gekroond. Hoewel ze bekend staat als Queen Maud in Engeland, is haar Vlaamse afkomst en invloed op het Anglo-Normandische rijk van groot belang."

Is Josephine’s hair dyed? Her hair looks so pretty, I like her long layers.
ردحذفC'est un vrai plaisir de les voir réunis pour cette occasion - Trop craquante Mafalda avec sa jolie frimousse et ses yeux bleus ; oh, j'ai failli oublier leur adorable toutou !
ردحذفJ'aime beaucoup la robe à pois, et de moins en moins les robes Ba Sh. La jupe Double J est un peu trop longue à mon goût et l'ensemble serait plus joli avec un haut un peu plus ajusté, il me semble.
ردحذفi like Isabella’s outfit very much, and it it being worn as designed. being summer I would prefer the skirt just above my ankle and the blouse to have 3/4 or shorter sleeves. However nothing wrong with this look. Josephine’s dress is very much keeping with a 14 years old style choice, though I find it a bit short, especially for bending over, or sitting.
