On October 29, Queen Margrethe, accompanied by Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary, hosted a concert a dinner in the Dome Hall at Fredensborg Castle for representatives of the unity of the Realm. Throughout the years, The Queen and Prince Henrik have held concerts at Fredensborg Palace to which various groups from society have been invited. This year, The Queen invited the some persons who make a contribution to the unity of the Realm between Greenland, the Faroes and Denmark. |
Nice outfits on both of the Royal Ladies.
ReplyDeleteI like Margrethe’s dress but I’m not fan of the belt with it. Love Mary’s outfit. The beading on her skirt and the detail at the neckline of her blouse.

Agree, today Queen Margarethe is the winner for me.
DeleteAgree but I was trying to think what to do about the belt- maybe a fabric one to match the dress that is a wide band fastened in the back(?)
DeleteYeah for the national dress.

Lovely red dress (skirt and blouse?) making up for that dull outfit earlier. Also like the colour of Queen Margarethe's dress
ReplyDeleteAgree with you AnnieM.
DeleteThe Queen looks great.I love the color of her outfit. Mary and Frederik are a handsome couple , very fit and elegant.
DeleteThe Queen looks wonderful, and so does Mary. However given that it is an evening Black-tie event, I think she should have worn a full length gown.

According to protocol black-tie is not worn daytime (at least not in Scandinavian countries). With gentlemen in black tie it is not obligatory for ladies to wear a full length gown. The choice depends on the type of the event. A concert + a dinner is a good example where ladies wear short dresses - or long midi as queen Margrethe does. If this event had ended with dancing, then a full length gown would have been the right choice.
DeleteSeveral of the guests are wearing traditional suits/dresses of their region. E.g. the white jackets are worn by men from Greenland.

@Margot: Thank you for that explanation. Yes I can see that now from the photos added after I posted. I appreciate your comments.

These events are very closely coordinated with dress protocols in mind. If protocol had called for a full length gown as the appropriate attire, I have absolutely no doubt the Queen and Mary would have been in full length gowns.
DeleteBeautiful dress on the Queen!
ReplyDeleteFrederik's suits doesn't fit well on the chest,as well as most of his suits does.
ReplyDeleteI think they are tylored, but they oll have the same imperfection. It's odd.
I like Mary's dress and the color (just the color) of Queen's dress
In this outfit Mary looks like a housewife from 60th-70th century. I think it's because of hair and shirt together. I like the skirt though.-Siri
ReplyDeleteActually, we live in the 20th century! So...?
DeleteThis queen is the most regal of Queens, whatever she wears
What?? I thought we were in the XXI century..21st...(60-70-20???)
Delete🤣
Mary looks fantastic in red. Also like her hairstyle and makeup.

How wonderful Mary looks!
ReplyDeleteRobe ou léger petit pull/jupe, Mary est élégante surtout avec quelques cm plus courts, ce qui permet de mieux voir ses belles jambes... Très chics les escarpins !!!

ReplyDeleteI love Marys dress. The queen looks lovely as well. I do like seeing some of guests in traditional dress. Very interesting to a foreigner
ReplyDeleteCP Mary looks superb
ReplyDeleteCP Mary looks so elegant and the Queen looks lovely and happy at this wonderful event. I love the national costumes from the Faros and Greenland.
ReplyDeleteI think Mary looks fabulous here. Beautiful colour and silhouette, perfect fit.
ReplyDeleteMargrethe looks nice too. Except for the white-looking tights.
Did you notice The Queen's black wrap with the beading? In first photo she is wearing it and in another photo she is holding it over her arm. Love it!
