On August 19, 2026, Queen Mary of Denmark visited Momentet in Gentofte, Copenhagen, a residential facility providing social and psychiatric support operated by the Deaconess Foundation (Diakonissestiftelsen), where she met with some of the residents. The Queen is the patron of Diakonissestiftelsen. Momentet provides accommodation and support for young adults aged 18 to 35 who face mental health and social challenges.
Diakonissestiftelsen is a large site in the Frederiksberg district, owned by the Danish Deaconess Community and used for various social and healthcare-related activities, including a care home for older people and nursing education. Diakonissestiftelsen was founded in 1866 at the initiative of Crown Princess Louise, the wife of the future King Christian IX.
The outfit is ordinary and boring. I like delightful colors and fancy clothes that announce a visit by a queen!
ReplyDelete19:36 am sure your opinion is shared by many and I do like the way you wrote it. As in, not “she got it wrong”, but what your prefernce is. Whereas my opinion is that it’s wonderful to see her dressed simply, and I think for the people she’s visiting, it possibly makes it easier to have a chat and removed a formality barrier. Her jacket and blouse are lovely … the trousers by rights should be hemmed up to not drag on the ground. I don’t like the style at all… the dragging and dirtying the fabric seems wasteful and the cut isnt flattering even to Mary.
DeleteI really don't know what you're talking about. Perhaps you might like to re-read the cause of Mary's visit. It is about young people who face serious mental problems. I think it is wise to put on kind of casual, neutral clothes.
DeleteMary is dressed appropriately. She looks very good.
I rarely disagree with you Coralie, well said.
DeleteIt’s very tricky to comment exactly correctly on this blog. I think the outfit is boring. That is my opinion.
DeleteThe cause of her visit notwithstanding her pants are too baggy and sloppy looking. The rest of her outfit is fine.
DeleteLove it !
DeleteAgree, 11:50….while I understand her outfit is suitable for this event it’s not particularly exciting….and that’s fine. We all have a right to our opinions .It is tricky to comment on this site especially about Mary because apparently everything she does and wears is always wonderful and perfect and to suggest otherwise brings out her ardent defenders who believe criticizing her outfit is a personal attack on her. It’s crazy!
DeleteThese street sweeper pants need to come to an end asap. They just make the wearer look so awfully sloppy
ReplyDeleteAgree…and pants that drag on the ground…no! They probably were very expensive too.
DeleteIt's Mary's shoes which I notice (pic 6). They look so awkward, being the wrong size and shape for her feet, with none of her toes fitting into the toe box of the shoe! :(
ReplyDeleteHowever I very much like the concept of animal print footwear with the colour scheme of her outfit. Lyra
I’m with you in that observation Lyra. Some years ago I switched to shoes that actually fit my foot and since then regularly notice that even most people (?) wear shoes which do not match their foot shape. Frequently too short, and frequently bringing the toes to a point, which is not foot shape. Ballerinas reveal this quite well.
DeleteNice to see her.

This is a neat and well groomed outfit - good fit, except for the a-bit-too-long pants. I like the blouse, has some detail without being overly fussy. A nice for choice for the people she will be meeting with, imo. She doesn't need to bowl them over with an outrageous colorful outfit.
ReplyDeleteI love the brown jacket, the fit and length of the jacket I like. Her pants another yes from me. Love her two toned shoes.
ReplyDeleteJ'adore cette nouvelle couleur de cheveux lumineuse !
ReplyDeleteI pantaloni sono molto belli, purtroppo non rendono con le scarpe basse.
ReplyDeleteL'unico modo per valorizzare questo modello è il tacco, oppure una scarpa da ginnastica.
This is a time when fashion may become a common generational ground to start serious conversations, I'd say.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that Q.Mary selected these Pieces with an idea in her mind:
" I want to talk to these young people as I were one of them , not just the Queen of Denmark performing another of her scheduled engagements out of sheer duty".
Also trousers dragging on the ground may abate grnerational and social gaps as much as her simple, trendy animalier- printed flat ballerinas.
Linguistic codes can act on a number of levels, fashion being one of them.
Kudos to her!
Smart comment P. I think you’re onto something here !
DeleteI just love how youthful she looks with her hair and all, Queen Mary can rock a simple white blouse and look so elegant and pretty at the same time. Beautiful Mary!
ReplyDeleteAs an older woman I’d be nervous about tripping in those oversized pants! 😵💫
ReplyDeleteA very rare miss - it just feels shapeless and ill fitting. Great cause though and she looks beautiful ( hair and makeup) LRB
ReplyDeleteMary is dressed appropriately. In some cases, more formal wear can be intimidating.

ReplyDeletePrima outfit, ze weet hoe het hoort, niet alle aandacht naar je toe trekken.
ReplyDeleteBORING
ReplyDeleteMary is boring.
Delete… or smart, fitting the context of the visit. I suspect it’s this.
