    Woooww, what a lovely set of family pics!!
    Happy birthday to one of the most elegant royal ladies portrayed on this blog!
    This is a meaningful milestone in one's life.
    Class displayed both in one's fashion choices (even the casual ones) and exquisite manners always leave a trace, as is the case with this sophisticated lady.
    Well done, Princess Marie!

      P., I. totally agree with all your comments. Princess Marie - always a 10+ in my book. Lovely family of “5”.

      @ Virginia Dogwood
      Thank very much, that's so kind of you!
      Yes, you are exactly right, Princess Marie is always a 10+ in my book , too.
      I especially value her demeanor and kindness even more than her fashion choices.
      Sartorially speaking, I'd venture to say that she has a natural, instinctive fashion sense.
      She exudes class even when dressed in lthe most casual pieces.
      I read that her shirt is from Ralph Lauren , good choice.
      And yes, this is a truly lovely, closely- knit family!
      Cheers.

      Always elegant in such a “inconfundable “ French way. These photos are a case in point.

    Lovely family photos.
    I wonder if the cute little dog stays in Denmark or travels
    across the Atlantic when the family is residing in Washington dc.

    Lovely! The resemblance of Mary and Marie (down to their names) is striking.

      15:53 / 19:36. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - but comparison and put downs are cruel.

      Aber sicher nicht, wo bitte sehen wir hier eine Ähnlichkeit, das sind zwei eigenständige, unabhängige Personen. Vielleicht wirkt es eher witzig da wie erkannt, beide Damen eine Maria sind, aber Ausstrahlung und Schönheit von Prinzessin Marie kann man nicht übertragen, da bin ich mir aber ganz ganz sicher, das es nicht funktioniert. Auch wenn man meint, man erkenne Ähnlichkeit zwischen den Cousinen, ich wäre weder in meiner Kindheit noch heute glücklich darüber, mit Ähnlichkeiten verglichen zu sein. Jeder Mensch ist eigen, sehen wir den Mensch das ist vielleicht wertvoller als kleine Rivalitäten anzufeuern. - Dorothe -

    5. Dorothe, natürlich sehen sich die Beiden äußerlich ähnlich. Aber Sie haben natürlich recht damit, dass das nichts über die Persönlichkeit aussagt und dass es Quatsch ist, die eine mit der anderen zu vergleichen. Schön sind beide. Jede auf ihre eigene Art.

      Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and some people behold Marie as prettier than Mary.

      Dorothe hat völlig Recht. Und Marie und Mary haben auch ganz unterschiedliche Körperstruktur. Nur die Haar- und Augenfarbe und vielleicht Länge sind ziemlich gleich.

    They are such a lovely family. The Danish royal house is blessed with all it's member families. Princess Marie is a beauty, and always looks good in whatever she chooses to wear, from casual to glad rags. I together with many, send her the best birthday wishes.

    Sie werden ein schönes Festwochenende feiern, eine Ausstrahlung man möchte Goldstaub über sie werfen. Gratulation und beste Gesundheit zum großen Geburtstagstag! Hier liebe ich die Prinzessin Marie in den klassischen Blusen, sie braucht einfach nichts, sie bringt das besondere immer mit, sie trägt es von innen nach aussen. Beneidenswert. - Dorothe -

    I like the blue blouse, it goes nicely with jeans as it would with other pants or skirts. Her sweater is a lovely colour , looks warm and cozy. What I like about her style is that it is not haute couture but good quality, well made clothes that fit her.

    Countess Athena and Princess Josephine could be sisters! Not surprising since Mary and Marie look so similar as well. Beautiful family.

  13. These are among the nicest royal family photos I have ever seen. Relaxed, natural and engaging. The family interact so naturally in with each other, just going by looking at their body language. Princess Marie looks really wonderful in her casual yet stylish and chic choices. Love the shirt, simple grey sweater, and her pants, lovely choice of shoe color. Her hair though down, looks styled well and natural. It looks to be diamond earrings and bracelet, subtle but lovely. The children have grown up. I like what they are both wearing, fits in well withe their parents outfits. Mother and daughter look so alike. I wish the Princess a very happy birthday.
