King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark are making a two-day state visit to Estonia at the invitation of President of Estonia Alar Karis. On 27 January 2026, President Alar Karis and First Lady Sirje Karis welcomed King Frederik X and Queen Mary at an official welcoming ceremony held at Town Hall Square in Tallinn. Following the ceremony, the King and Queen participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Monument to the War of Independence.
Queen Mary wore a new dress designed by Lasse Spangenberg. She also wore a sparkling sapphire brooch known as the “Flood Sapphire.” The brooch is part of the jewellery collection of the Danish Royal Collection. It was created around 1840 and once belonged to Queen Marie Sophie Frederikke, the wife of King Frederik VI.
Très beau manteau

They both look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMary has a great sense of style
ReplyDeleteMary looks better with this hairstyle than hair hanging in her face. Beautiful brooch! I hope that she wears more historical pieces!
ReplyDeleteAgree! Her hair away from her face is more flattering in my opinion.
DeleteFurther agreement here. The Princess of Wales could follow her lead
DeleteJ’aime son élégant manteau à l’unisson avec son époux !
ReplyDeleteLooks like she wore blue, black and white in honor of the Estonian flag. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteVery nice coat, good fitting though it seems to me the sleeves look a bit off in construction, or width, can’t put my finger on it. Maybe because she was wearing a dress of heavier fabric underneath. Lovely brooch at the neck line.
ReplyDeleteLove this look and love the earrings.
ReplyDeleteI like the blue tweed dress and adapted headband. The only thing I would change is the neckline (navy collar). I prefer the same neckline as on Queen Letizia's dark grey tweed dress she is wearing today.
ReplyDeleteThe collar is not necessary and doesn't make it more beautiful, on the contrary. Queen Mary could wear the brooch on her left shoulder. I also find the dress a bit too long and with the knee height boots a bit too dark and sombre. With all the frozen snow outside it is understandable that she is wearing boots.
The brown gloves don't match the blue coat and black boots.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right. It looks as if she had forgotten her own gloves and borrowed these ones.

DeleteOne of Europe's best Royal love stories, they seem so in love after all of these years. I love this brooch and I also love the Cannaught sapphire brooch Queen Margrethe gave Queen Mary when Prince Christian was born, it is more elaborate, but both are beautiful and my favorite royal Mary is so beautiful. I get excited every time I see her!
ReplyDeleteI like the dress,though I’d have preferred it without the collar. The brooch is stunning. I’m so pleased that QM has opened up the faults and is bringing life to pieces we haven’t seen in a while.
ReplyDeleteLowri.
I like the coat, color, cut etc. The boots with that block heel look great with it. The gloves are too sporty. The hat is very silly, a mere nod to the strict protocol of a State visit. The dress is a little too prim and buttoned up, especially with that attached Peter Pan collar. Love the sapphires.
ReplyDeleteI find a Peter Pan color on a mature woman is not becoming
DeleteNon, un col Claudine n'est jamais pointu, il est arrondi.
DeleteTop ! Elegant as always.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very "Mary" dress and it looks great on her, the coat following the princess lines of the dress. First lady's hat and coat are lovely.

The dress is lovely, stylish and fits well. Love the addition of the perfectly placed sapphire and diamond brooch, looks wonderful as does her earrings. Her Navy coat looks warm, her accessories are a good choice.
