On August 28, 2025, King Frederik X and Queen Mary arrived at Kolby Kås Harbor in Samsø Municipality aboard the Royal Yacht Dannebrog as part of this year’s summer cruise. Upon arrival, the King and Queen were welcomed by the Mayor of Samsø Municipality, Marcel Meijer, at the harbor in Kolby Kås. Together with Mayor Meijer and his spouse, the King and Queen rode in a carriage through Tranebjerg to Anton Rosen’s House.
At Anton Rosen’s House, the King and Queen were introduced to the members of Samsø Municipal Council, after which Mayor Meijer delivered an official welcome speech to Their Majesties on Anton Rosen’s Square. Anton Rosen’s House was designed by architect Anton Rosen and built in 1900 by the Samsø Craftsmen’s Association as a technical school.
Upon arrival at Tranebjerg Church, the King and Queen were welcomed by Lis Nymark, former director of Samsø Museum and current member of the Samsø Parish Council. Tranebjerg Church is a medieval church with Denmark’s largest village church tower.
Their Majesties were given a presentation about the church, which is particularly known for its well-preserved tithe barn, where farmers once delivered crops as tithes and which was later used as a secret ammunition depot during the Napoleonic Wars.
The King and Queen later arrived in Nordby, at the town’s iconic bell tower, and walked down to the village pond, where Their Majesties met with local food producers who presented their products and production methods. Nordby is one of Denmark’s best-preserved villages, known for its cobblestone streets, well-preserved half-timbered houses, and historical atmosphere.
Lovely dress, but it’s better combination in the little picture with the belt and that jacket!
ReplyDeleteVery appropriate dress and shoes. I do prefer the jacket it left open and not belted as worn before. Good hat with the Aussie vibe. The king is very dashing in his uniform
ReplyDeleteGreat look. I think Mary could wear a potato sack with golden belt and she looks perfectly fine.

I love this dress and I'm so glad to see Queen Mary have another chance to wear it again before the real change of season hits. It's beautiful on her and I love how she styles it--and I love this hat. As others have pointed out it does have an Aussie vibe. I recall Mary referring to seeing Frederik in his dress uniform for the first time and essentially saying he was so good looking that she better step up her game. Well, he is very handsome in his uniform and, Queen Mary, you certainly have met and exceeded the standard you set for yourself.

Lovely dress, great to see a re wear. The skirt has nice movement. This style suits her beautifully. Her jacket looks lovely. She wears this style of hat well.
