On April 24, 2026, Queen Mary of Denmark received the First Lady of Germany, Mrs. Elke Büdenbender, at Frederik VIII’s Palace at Amalienborg. Mrs. Büdenbender is patron of UNICEF Germany and is currently visiting Denmark, where she is, among other engagements, visiting UNICEF’s Supply Division in Nordhavn.
Since 1962, UNICEF has maintained a humanitarian warehouse in Denmark, which is now the largest of its kind in the world and plays a crucial role in ensuring the rapid delivery of life-saving emergency supplies to crisis and disaster areas worldwide.

How stylish is q mary ? Just at her poise and elegance. Her open 'pleased to meet you' face is a joy to see. She looks perfect to me
ReplyDeleteI do love the B/white photo of the pair, this is splendid.
ReplyDeleteThis dress on Mary, looks dark Navy on my screen, its good to see a rewear of this dress, I find it very attractive and elegant. The design, style and fit suits her well. I love her necklace this is lovely. The First Lady of Germany, looks stylish and elegant. She has great fashion sense, she always looks good. The color is sublime, I love this shade of green.
Not in Tasmania yet! She is so committed to Denmark!
ReplyDeletePerhaps it’s less about commitment to a country over her Dad, and more about being a professional with a full calendar mapped out for her many months ahead?
Delete… which doesn’t mean she’s not committed to Denmark! Of course she’s 100% there! But I just meant it can be hard to slip away to a personal event when so booked up.
DeleteShe will tell you in due time when she is expected in Tasmania. People should stop guessing. All what royals are doing or where they are going can be found in the newspapers, magazines or on websites and blogs like this one.
DeletePerhaps she chose not to go. Perhaps at a later date, perhaps she needs to be with her family, perhaps, perhaps perhaps we don’t know her to pass judgements
Delete@ 02:50
DeleteI wonder ...what do you suggest?
Either she neglects her role as the Queen of Denmark and cancels each and every pre- arranged official engagement or she puts off any private "commitment " to a later date?
She is a Queen , not a private citizen and has to serve a country first, heartbroken or not.
Both ladies look lovely albeit in completely different styles.
ReplyDeleteI loved Mary's dress even more when she wore it with the hat and chunky pearlnecklace.
Cate.
Both women look splendid. The green colour in the suit is gorgeous and could easily be a 4-season suit. The angle of the jacket closure is so becoming and feminine. I want it! Mary’s black dress is beautiful: length, sleeves, neckline, shape. She probably wears it 2-5 times total?. Any of us in similarly cool climates could wear it from autumn right through winter to spring once a week because it is elegant, versatile and comfortable. I want it too?! Can’t remember the last time I wanted all the clothes I could see being worn in a photo here!
ReplyDeleteAgree - both ladies look gorgeous!
Delete@07:14 "She probably wears it 2-5 times total?" You mean on all occasions we don't see photos of her she ceases to wear clothes or restrains from re-wearing clothes? Just think about it. - But it is true, the dress is fabulous in its simplicity.
DeleteBeautiful neckline and her hair has the perfect lenght for her!
ReplyDeleteLess is more; QM is sooo elegant 👍
ReplyDeleteHer face looks very "worked on" but nevertheless she want's to make "the most of it".
ReplyDeleteLooking younger than her age,
I think she has a interesting life,
Not only work but lot's of holidays and horse-riding, jogging.
More time than most people have for keeping fit.
When needed presenting best for Denmark.
Elke Budenbender is a beautiful woman!
ReplyDeleteThe Queen’s dress is beautiful and the cut elevates a basic black dress into something special. I like the delicate gold accessories as well.
ReplyDeleteThe First Lady of Germany is perfection in the beautiful green suit. The color and side closure are modern touches and it fits her perfectly.
I do not like a square neckline. For the rest the dress is beautiful on Mary. It is excellent with the hat. (Last picture next to those from the model).
ReplyDeleteElke Büdenbender is looking good in her green suit. She always dresses stylish lately. In the beginning when her husband became president she was not dressed very good yet. But then later on, she started to wear more and more clothes in which she looked better and younger. In the meantime I think she found her style in wearing nice pant suits or (2 pieces) a dress and a coat in the same fabric and always in plain colors.
I like this dark dress, particularly the neckline, open but not plunging. Elke look very nice in this well fitted suit and colour
ReplyDeleteÉlégantes toutes les deux, chacune dans son style ; madame Büdenbender a choisi judicieusement la couleur vert olive pour ce tailleur-pantalon !
