King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark are undertaking a state visit to Australia from 14–19 March 2026. Governor of Western Australia Chris Dawson and Mrs Darrilyn Dawson welcomed King Frederik and Queen Mary at Government House in Perth. Afterwards, the King and Queen took part in a formal welcome at the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park.
Accompanied by senior Aṉangu, King Frederik and Queen Mary visited a lookout to experience the sunset over Uluṟu. Aṉangu are the Traditional Owners of Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park, which has been inhabited for tens of thousands of years. Uluṟu is a massive sandstone formation rising 348 metres above the flat desert landscape, changing colour throughout the day and glowing red and orange at sunrise and sunset.
Très joli look dont les couleurs s’harmonisent à merveille avec le style du chapeau idéal !
ReplyDeleteI genuinely like her style and her but I wish she had a less gigantic wardrobe. She is much less a repeater than other royals and each outfit, although beautiful, just makes me think "that's lovely, but couldn't she just re-wear some of the tens of similar pieces she already owns." Does it really affect the quality of her "job" if she does not appear in something new?
ReplyDeleteShe has to get the attention away from her always awfull dressed husband. She absolutely is the queen and he…?
DeleteHer girls re wear her clothes, so no worry.
DeleteI disagree on the "insufficient rewear"; we see frequently the come back of blouses, suits and even evening gowns and so on.
DeleteFred is fan of a casual and relaxed style, but formal when needed. The welcome here seems to be in a general relaxed style.
Mary is a true aussiegirl!
ReplyDeleteMade my day!!!!
DeleteFor the welcoming by the Governor and his wife they could have dressed a bit more formal. Afterwards they could have change their clothes into the more relaxed style they are wearing here. Well, maybe there was not enough time to change outfits and probably Mary knows the best how to manage this depending the circumstances since she is an Aussie herself.
ReplyDeleteTo welcome a KING and QUEEN in our century, others could have dressed a bit more PROFESSIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteShe is dressed perfectly for the Aussie weather. I am disappointed with the kings attire. He looks scruffy, and wears his clothing to tight. You can see he prefers a casual look, which is okay. I think he could have dressed up a bit to meet the governor, just out of respect for being invited to their country. He could take a lesson from his cousin King of Spain on how to do casual with class.
ReplyDeleteFred usually looks like he fell out of bed after a three day bender.
DeleteMary and Frederik are always well dressed and appropriate for the context. Here however I think they look uncomfortable in the reality of the day which for those who don’t understand the geography, involved a very very long trip, complete change of climate, an outback stop, with unusually unseasonal once in a lifetime rain and flooding, flies and heat. In trying to plan out clothes to wear for a certain event in a different continent and season is always hard, but this season around Alice Springs has surprised the locals too. So I can see what Mary might have imagined for this shirt and skirt and shoes, but it might not have been that comfortable in reality and we see that from the evolving shoes. Same goes for Frederik, a very long day to plan for and hard not to be uncomfortable in. Landing into Perth from an overnight set of international flights from winter into hot summer weather, meeting dignitaries, then switching planes for another long route into central Australia in probably a commercial airline doesn’t give a chance to change clothes, rest, etc.
ReplyDeleteI understand what you are saying, however I am sure arrangements could be made on the plane to appear more presentable. I like the is couple and appreciate how the king wants to be less stuffy, but respect for your hosts should be first.
DeleteHow are your dresses... hopefully better than your comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteThey both look great in tonal colors that complement the surrounding landscape. Mary’s hair is a wonderful length and style. If only Kate would cut her hair…
ReplyDeleteYes I like the length of her hair now.
DeleteIndeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteConcur with the criticizers of King's appearance. It's not a random occurrence.
ReplyDeleteNothing else to comment?
DeleteThe blouse is so boring and looks really cheap, which it most likely is not. Could have worn a white shirt instead of buying this horror.
ReplyDeleteWhat about your boring dresses?????????????????????????????
DeleteSometimes I wish that our dear Helen was a bit more selective with the comments. I am sure a better quality would attract more people with more good content.
DeleteThose who criticize could have a look to the recent article dated March 6th. I see that the international press has repeatedly very positive articles about the elegance of Qn Mary.
ReplyDeleteI think they both look fine. These state visits are carefully choreographed between embassies. They travel with staff who organize their wardrobes and who they are going to meet. Schedules are set out in advance with consideration for weather conditions. Nothing is left to chance so as not to create offense or controversy. I'M sure the people of Australia were happy to see them, considering they had to travel so far to get there. No one bothered about their clothes.
