Denmark’s King Frederik and Queen Mary are paying a two-day State Visit to Latvia on October 28–29, 2025, at the invitation of the President of Latvia, Edgars Rinkēvičs. The President officially welcomed Their Majesties with a ceremony at Riga Castle, the Presidential residence. Afterwards, President Rinkēvičs, the King, and the Queen attended a flower-laying ceremony at the Freedom Monument (Brīvības piemineklis).
Later, the King and Queen visited Latvia’s Parliament (Saeima), where Speaker Daiga Mieriņa received Their Majesties and introduced members of the Latvian delegation. The King and Queen then visited the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia (Latvijas Okupācijas muzejs). Afterwards, they visited the Latvian Academy of Culture, located in the former Scandinavian tobacco factory known as Tabakas fabrika.
Very classy!
ReplyDeleteLovely. Though I prefer the dress in its original form,without the belt.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what HM will treat us to tonight at the State Dinner?
Lowri.
Yes, agree there is no need for the belt. It looks better without it.
DeleteI think the original does have a belt - it's a wrap dress.
DeleteÉlégante la reine.
ReplyDeleteL’ajout de cette ceinture ton sur ton est une bonne idée.
Cette robe est jolie et féminine. De plus, elle sied comme un gant à la reine.

Perfection in navy! I most admire Mary’s perfect posture, even when signing a book while seated.MR
ReplyDeleteThey look very nice.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like Europe got really cold really quickly this year. Just went straight from summer to winter, no fall. Maybe it just seems that way to me. I'm in CA and it's supposed to be 79 degrees Fahrenheit here today.
This is true, no fall this year
DeleteHello 17:11! Well of course Europe is huge and has multiple climates, but yes at least where I am in Switzerland there’s been a northerly front for a few days, so a sudden cold snap with snow, but the warm southerly systems return this week and we’ll be back to tshirts!
DeleteVery nice. I like the cape easy to wear, and I like the headband versus a full hat

DeleteMary looks very regal and exquisite in this beautiful blue dress. The wrap style is very smart and classic. I adore the headband/psuedo hat.
ReplyDeleteUne belle robe, à la fois chic et sobre, sans fioritures inutiles. Très beau bleu.
ReplyDeleteLe décolleté a une forme élégante. (Elle a d'ailleurs plusieurs chemisiers en soie qui ont cette même encolure).
La voilette ajoute de la douceur mais la reine est aussi très bien sans serre-tête ni voilette (dernières photos). Paloma.
