As President of the Mary Foundation, Queen Mary of Denmark shared a special Christmas greeting on the Foundation’s digital platforms on December 18, 2025, along with two new photographs. The photographs were taken on December 5 at Amalienborg during a Christmas gathering held for Mary Foundation staff and partners.
In her Christmas message, Queen Mary shared her reflections on the past year at the Mary Foundation and spoke about the Foundation’s activities in 2025. Among other things, the Queen expressed the following wishes for the new year:
Christmas is just around the corner, and a new year awaits just ahead. This invites us to take a look back at the year that has passed. There have been both bright and less bright moments.
The darker times can be difficult, but they often also bring new experiences, new understandings, new knowledge, and perhaps even new connections. When we are able to embrace adversity, we can gain greater insight into ourselves, our fellow human beings, and our surroundings.
When we at the Mary Foundation work to make a difference for those who stand outside the community, we do so with great care. That is why knowledge is always the foundation of our work. We need knowledge in order to act, to create change, and to break taboos.
Thank you for the cooperation over the past year. With wishes for a Merry Christmas, a safe and cozy time with those who matter, and a new year filled with hope, curiosity, and community. H.M. The Queen
Élégante jupe dont j’aime beaucoup l’imprimé ; à mon avis, son haut dans une couleur ivoire donnerait une meilleure allure !
ردحذفMy favourite royal ❤️
ردحذفThough I like the colours in the skirt, I am not fond of the print. Nice necklace on an otherwise plain sweater.
ردحذفPowerful, heartfelt, eloquent message.
ردحذفI very much relate, I'm doing my on reflection on the past year.
"The darker times can be difficult, but they often also bring new experiences, new understandings, new knowledge, and perhaps even new connections. When we are able to embrace adversity, we can gain greater insight into ourselves, our fellow human beings, and our surroundings."
Genuine, true words, food for thought..
No fashion review needed.
Thank you, Queen Mary.
Merry Christmas.
Beautiful words, P the original. Articulated perfectly!! Hugs
حذفHello, dearest @Ava!!
حذفThank you for your lovely, kind post.
How are you doing?
I'm longing for my festive break , Just a few days and then yuppee,
I'll have time for family and rest!
Sorry for not being able to spend more time on the blog and write to you...
But now here I am, wishing you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Hope that the year ahead will bring us reasons to rejoice and feel a bit safer in this crazy world.
You know that I love poetry.
I remember a line from " Idylls of the King" by Alfred Lord Tennyson, reading :
" And the new sun rose bringing the new year".
That's what I wish for all of us
I read about that terrible attack in Sydney, so sad.
Queen Mary's message touched me, so thoughtful, a lot of insight, great.
Hugs for you!!
👍👋
P the original. Aw thank you for such a lovely comment. I am well thank you. I bet you are so excited to have time off and more importantly catching up with loved ones and some down time. Thank you so much for your lovely festive wishes.
حذفThat is a lovely line. thank you, its extra meaning to me. My home town born and bred, our Sydney a abhorrent attack, lives lost. I am guttered and heartbroken. Now angry that this could happen. The beautiful Bondi beach should be a safe place, for recreation, the natural beauty and happiness. I have never seen evil before, I have now. Thoughts and prayers for the lives lost and to the injured, so many, still struggling. Our emergency services alo't to comprehend. The Queen's message heartfelt, we all appreciate it greatly as well as other moving messages from many people. Take good care, importantly stay safe. A wonderful Xmas to you and a healthy Happy New Year. Hugs x
This was the combination I didn't like and which we saw already on December 5. The necklace or collar don't go well together with the color and the style of the earrings and certainly not with the animal print of the skirt and the lace details on the sleeves of the sweater. It is a mix I cannot like and I wouldn't know what I would change or what I would keep. There is too much going on here.
ردحذفI agree. Too many textures and colors that don't go with each other and are fighting for attention. A rare overkill from the normally elegant queen.
حذفMy thoughts as well, I usually love the skirt/ blouse combinations she wears, but not this is time. I would like to give it another chance to the skirt and be surprised, let's see.

It’s possible that it looks much better in person or movement than in a still photo.
حذفNo good combination!
ردحذفSo much wisdom in her words.
ردحذفThank you Mary.
