Mary so beautiful
ReplyDeletePrincess mary is the most beautiful royal in europ
ReplyDeleteNope! In Sweden we have princess Madeleine.
DeleteMadeleine is attractive, but nothing special. I never understood the hype over her looks. I she was not royal she would be considered just another pretty girl.
DeleteLa Reine est très élégante. Quant à la princesse héritière Mary, comme c'était le cas pour la princesse Marie il y a quelques jours, je ne trouve pas cette couleur de circonstance pour la période de l'année. J'ai préféré nettement sa récente tenue dans le velours et dans les tons de bleus.
ReplyDeletePrincess Mary of Denmark is a gem for the Danish Crown,Elegant,active,stunning,my favorite princess!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose pearls are AMAZING
ReplyDeleteMary is wonderful in white. I love her style. She's so classy.!
ReplyDeleteGood start of the year for Mary! I love this gown and especially the new pink stone the necklace!
ReplyDeleteMary is a beautiful, classy lady - so regal especially on formal occasions like this.
ReplyDeleteÇa sent l'abdication!
ReplyDeleteJe n'y avais pas pensé mais ça tomberait sous le sens. Possibilité en effet.
DeleteJe ne comprend pas pourquoi mon post n'a pas passé.
DeleteJe demandais tout simplement pourquoi cette personne parlait d'abdication quand on sait bien que la reine Margaret a toujours dit qu'elle n'abdiquerait jamais.
Wundervoll, Mary!!!
ReplyDeleteMary's pearls are outstanding. She is a regal per usual, but I would have taken the belt off.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's just me, but I fond the Queen related, at ease almost relieved without Prince Henrik by her side. Anyway the three of them represent Denmark beautifully.
Why was Prince Henrik not present?
ReplyDeleteAn official statement recently made on the Queen's behalf by Denmark's Royal Palace confirms that after 40 years service, Henrik, 81, has "decided to retire" and "slow down."
DeleteSie sieht aus wie Schneewittchen.
ReplyDeleteZauberhaft!
"Snow White" - well said, Anon 22:05!
DeleteFor me, this is an unexpectedly youthful look on Mary. The simplicity of the white gown, combined with a "half-down" hairstyle, has a "debutante" feel which I would usually associate with a junior princess. And there could hardly be a greater contrast between the minimalism of Mary's look and the lavish textures of the Queen's outfit.
However Mary's look is growing on me. It does showcase the necklace and the orders in a way that many busier frocks don't. And the white colour looks fresh in the line-up, next to the black and the blue of Frederick's and the Queen's outfits. My one wish would be for a pink/mauve coat or cape, rather than the grey one which to me looks too dull in that room full of brightly-coloured clothing.
Why do they remove the right glove and leave the left on?
ReplyDeleteThey remove the right glove to enable them to shake hands
DeleteTheytake off the right glove so that they can shake hands
DeleteTo shake hands.
DeleteBecause they are are shaking hands with their right hand.
DeleteI think the criticism of Marie's dress as being more suited for summer had more to do with the short sleeves of the dress than the colour.
DeleteThe protocol requires wearing gloves, but it's considered unpolite to shake hands with a glove, hence the keeping the glove in the other hand
DeleteThe royals shake the hands of the diplomatic corps at this event, hence, no glove on the right hand ;-)
DeletePerhaps it is more politey to shake hands without a glove?

DeleteMore polite in Denmark but not in Great Britain :)
What they are doing is considered INCORRECT etiquette. A lady (especially a royal lady) SHOULD wear gloves while shaking hands with anyone, as the glove is meant to protect her hand from perspiration and dirt. A gentleman may only shake a lady's gloved hand if he is wearing clean WHITE or KID dress gloves and formal attire - if he is wearing a different type of glove then he should remove them before shaking her gloved hand.
DeleteA man should never offer a gloved hand, even a white or kid glove, to a lady who is NOT wearing gloves - he should remove BOTH gloves before shaking her hand so that she doesn't have the unpleasant sensation of shaking a glove with her bare hand.
A person of either gender should remove BOTH gloves, and never walk around with only one glove on.
The scene pictured is thus incorrect etiquette in several respects (except for that of the CP, who is wearing both gloves and greeting a man who is also wearing both gloves).
I have many etiquette books from various periods including modern and several cultures, European and others, and they all agree regarding gloves and shaking hands.
The image of the Queen's bare hand in the gloved hand of the man immediately jumped out to me as perplexing, before I even saw these many comments about it. Perhaps this is another effort by the modern royals to seem "approachable" or informal? Which is hardly necessary and even strange in formal attire at a formal event.
In the United Kingdom a lady does not remove her glove/s to shake hands but a gentleman does and it has to be taken off finger by finger!
DeleteThis is about an event in Denmark - why the need to teach us correct etiquette in the UK............?
Deletethe coat smells Prada to me..hmm
ReplyDeleteAll seem to love CP Mary in white.
ReplyDeletePrincess Marie was criticized for wearing white as "more wedding dress" and "suited for summer".
Marie had sleevles white gown of chiffon or other very lightweight material, Mary´s dress has long sleeves and is thicker material. White Color was not what made Marie´s dress look like a summer dress.
DeleteYou are right, some gets away with everything and are always so perfect like Mary and Victoria, and some are always wrong no matter what like Marie, Kate, Mette and Sofia! Gets so tired of this bullshit...
DeleteThere is a lot of differences with the dresses, Marie has no sleeves and it is in evening while Mary has sleeves and is in the morning, it was not the colour that made Marie's look unsuitable more the type of material.
Deletehmm crown princess mary looks lovely looking lovely
ReplyDelete@Coco Ambros
ReplyDeleteI think Maries sleeveless and lacey dress was more wedding dress and suited for summer but Mary's sleeved one doesnt have the same look...
I agree with you, Coco Ambrose! Just show the hypocrites that leave comments on this blog.
ReplyDeleteI wish she had worn a cape instead of a coat draped over her shoulders.
ReplyDeleteMary looks wonderful and the pearls fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAnother point of etiquette is that the royal family are the hosts and should thus "receive" the corps, not the other way around... The corps should file past the royals and be greeted by them, not the royals file past the corps. The only occasions that the royals should move along and greet stationery persons (be "received" by them) is when the royals are guests in another country or when the royals are touring their own country to meet their citizens.
ReplyDeleteThis scene appears to be the royal family being received by a corps of hosts, which is quite incorrect, especially in diplomacy where protocol is important.
So are you here to teach the danish Queen and her court about what should be the etiquette in their own country? You sound a bit childlish for me.
DeleteThe Danish Queen and her court choose to break with etiquette and protocol. Because they do doesn't mean that this is considered correct, just that they have chosen to do so.
DeleteYou sound a bit snide for me.
You are also off-topic.
They inspect the guard and shake hands with the officers, but when receiving the diplomats they are stationary while the guest file past.
DeleteMary est royale, j'aime beaucoup sa coiffure ondulée et magnifiques perles
ReplyDeleteShe looks so elegant....simple elegance and perfection, great start for this 2016
ReplyDeleteMary radiates warmth and directs herself towards the people. I have a feeling her mother in law is going to hold onto that throne forever and Mary stays classy and cheerful and has wonderful style. It would be nice if older royals could relinquish their thrones to the next generation like the Queen of the Netherlands did. Why not step back and relax?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The bag is a new Naledi Copenhagen clutch, called Allana ;) Same colour ostrich as Mary's older Naledi clutch, but a new model.
ReplyDeleteAlmost all female royals today are like a barbie doll with new dresses from an exclusive designer showing us all other glamour we can not afford to have our own.
ReplyDeleteThis spectacle is what our taxes goes to.....fairytales dresses.
Mary is probebly very nice in her own way,but there seems to be a lot of a fashion industry around her and nothing more than just PR for danish designers and other as well.....is that okej as work for a state?
And so it has always been, so what? Even Queen Victoria did this. First of all, they don't pay that much for these dresses. They have big dicounts. Everybody knows this, they even get a lot of free stuff! Why do we never see these excuse me for saying this...stupid remarks when we talk about the old Queens like Elisabeth, Margrethe, Sonja or Silvia? They do NOT use less money on their wardrobe or less designer clothes, but get away with it, the other CP/P...NOT!
DeleteI don't see Queen Margreth or Princess Marie propping up the fashion industry.
