On September 5, 2020, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary participated in events held on the occasion of Denmark's Flag Day 2020. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess first attended a respect ceremony at 'The Citadel' (Kastellet) in Copenhagen held in order to honor soldiers and officials who are or have been deployed abroad by Denmark. Crown Princess Mary wore a new blue bespoke coat dress designed by Danish fashion designer Soeren le Schmidt.
Afterwards, a church service was held at Holmen's Church. September 5 is an official day which is celebrated for the purpose of honoring Denmark's deployed soldiers, and celebrated with various ceremonies and events across the country. The Flag Day was celebrated for the first time in 2009.

The periwinkle coat dress is gorgeous. Mary’s hair and make- up look great. The her hat is ok.
ReplyDeleteE.B.B.
Wow , Mary is stunning in her lavender( on my display) dress- coat!
ReplyDeleteLove her accessories and make up as well.
Her hair is beautifully styled.
Ten out of ten.
Totally agree! Ten out of ten!
DeleteAgree! She looks marvellous. Just love it.
DeleteAgreed.
DeleteA handsome Prince and a beautiful Princess doing their job very well.
Like the change in her hair style and colour.
Looking like (her hair) a tacky Hollywood celebrity.
You have to be joking dear Anonymous 9/5/20, 5:10 PM.
Agreed, she looks marvelous. Beautiful coat dress and accessories. Her hair and makeup look great.

Her new lighter hair coloration again not suiting her complexion and looking like some tacky Hollywood celebrity - this time even worse as the mixture with her original darker roots coming through looks horrendeous. Why not keep it natural and neat to begin with??? In her role she can't sport such messy style. And it ruins the whole coatdress look.
ReplyDeleteJealous!! The Crown Princess is doing a lovely job as Queen in waiting. Her overall look is on point.
DeleteI agree with you anonymous. This highlighting makes woman look tackyer, espacially when you have dark hair. Sofie from Sweden and Kate are also doing it. With Sofie i find it the most tacky.
DeleteNot a fan of the longer length and unnatural curls either.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Love the colour of the coat and slightly vintage feel to the whole outfit.
ReplyDeleteVery stylish:
ReplyDeleteBeautiful coat of Mary. (Her hairdo is not an approvement but still good; her little hat, the juwelery and the make-up: very well done), and even the Prince is decent and very becoming dressed in his uniform!
The earlier commenters are ridiculous! Mary is beautiful and elegant. We'd all be lucky to be as stunning as her.
ReplyDeleteMary's look is very ordinary, the hat and that hair is not stunning.
Delete👍👍
DeleteFrom Joann.For Amy. I agree. I can't add anything more. Mary looks wonderful. And I love the brooch.
DeletePerhaps not every single woman but an awful lot of us get a sort of "craziness" every so many years to try something else with ones hair (cutting it off short, other colour, perm straightened etc.) We then either hate it and desperately set about growing it back, trying to wash it out etc. or love it and live with it. In this particular case I plead "Dear Mary please write this orange down to a momentary aberration and go back to your own dark natural colou. It really is very attractuive," For the rest she looks lovely. I don't like the hat much too 1940's for me. even if it matches the rest of the look. Sensible shoes for walking around on cobbles.
ReplyDeleteSensible shoes for walking? They are sky high and other than a wider heel on the coblestone/brick, that is about all that is sensible about them.
DeleteHer outfit, so-so, not stunning, not over the top, just acceptable for the occasion. Her hair, why the fuss? It's not totally ugly, like a (Queen in the region) that has horrid hair and forgets she has a hairbrush).
The hat though subtle, does not detract from the rest of the outfit and scream 'look at me'. It is suitable for the occasion.
Mary a une superbe silhouette dans ce robe-manteau de couleur lavande qui va bien à son teint ; belle association de ses petites boucles d'oreilles avec sa broche en diamants ; je crois voir un saphir!
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning!
ReplyDeleteMary sempre meravigliosa!
ReplyDeleteP. S. Bel uniforme de l'homme un peu en retrait du couple princier. J'ai souvent remarqué qu'il était derrière la reine lorsque nous la voyons au cours de cérémonies. Qui pourrait-dire son grade et son rôle ?
ReplyDeleteMary elegant and poised, as always. I like that she favoured more of a block heel, rather than the normal stiletto. Have to agree with others, Mary's hair is her crown and glory, but the lighter shade, is looking a little 'brassy' (as in blonde ish), it needs to go a couple of shades darker or toned down. Perfect shaping on the coat dress, and fits her beautifully ! And a bonus with the Connaught Sapphire Brooch. Ana
ReplyDeleteCrown Princess Mary looks magnificent here--beautiful cut coat, great fit and perfect length in a lovely colour. Hat, shoes and brooch all great too. As a bonus, in uniform, the Crown Prince looks so much better that the usual dishevelled look he favours. Lovely couple
ReplyDeleteWhy comparing gorgeous Mary to "some tacky Hollywood celebrity"?
ReplyDeletePlease, be serious.
Mary couldn' t be tacky even if she tried hard to become that way!
She has natural beauty, class, perfect posture, modesty and whatever any woman may want!
Totally agree with Deadeggs - 8.48 p.m.
ReplyDeletePhoto no. 2 - is this hair colour a mix of black and bronde?
ReplyDeleteI do like the colours and style of Mary's dress except I'm not too crazy about that flap and how ...untame it is past the waist. It spoils the looks for me when it is caught in the wind.
ReplyDelete- Anon 9:13
Agree that flap has me on the fence about this but otherwise she looks so lovely and well put together for this event.
DeleteGlo
I totally agree about that flap thing hanging down from her lapel. I´m surprised I had to scroll this far down before someone mentioned it. What a random piece of fabric. I find it highly distraction and effectively ruining an otherwise very nice outfit.
DeleteI like the colour, the block heels, the accessories, and the hat. The coat dress is lovely (except for that flappy thing), although a bit snug on her.
so Duchess Kate style
ReplyDeletew
Yes and no. Kate has many, so many coats but not 1 looking like this.
DeleteI've always thought for many years now, that those two are so similar in their sartorial style. They even have many physical similarities.
Delete- Anon 9:13
When commenting on Duchess Kates fashion choices I never read anywhere that says so Princess Mary style. Princess Mary has been a royal a lot longer than Kate so maybe Kate is copying Mary, give her credit where credits due. I read a article recently published by Hello magazine where they did a online survey of over 30,000 people and the best dressed royal was as follows. Crown Princess Mary first place Queen Maxima second Place and Duchess Kate third place. although I do not agree with Maxima being in second place she has had some fabulous fashion moments that only she can pull off!
DeleteI can see lots of similarities between Mary and Kate.
DeleteNot sure if I need glasses, but I don’t see the horrible orange or the unnatural curls??
ReplyDeleteI see a lovely woman wearing a very elegant dress, and the hat is just perfection, not the over the top favored by some royals. Simply exquisite in my opinion.
Maybe it is my monitor but on the second photo down just above her brow you can see that where her hair was lightened it has gone a rather awful orangy colour. I presume as a result of the summer sun playing havoc with the lightened parts of her hair.
DeleteWhat a very beautiful church interior.
ReplyDeleteImo Mary looks superb -- am not a fan of the extended lapel hanging down, but it doesn't ruin things for me and (along with the shoes) prevents the overall look from being overly retro.
I see the point some commenters make about the orangey tone of the streaks in Mary's hair, but I'm onboard with her desire, as she ages, to soften her appearance by subtly lightening her hair. She is still quite young-looking, but being in her forties she may be looking ahead to when solidly dark hair will begin to look harsh on her. I hope she will continue to work with colorists to achieve a look that avoids the orange tones.
Why work with colourists at all. It will lighten by itself as she gets older no one escapes that. Sooner or later it will happen. Look how pretty Letitias grey streaks look. It can look stunning as well although not many ladies appear to find that. Why do we think greying men look distinguished and ladies must colour? Admittedly many men colour their hair too but far more ladies with beautiful thick dark hair should way the cons of letting it be salt and pepper instead of the bother and hassle of the dye pot every 6 weeks. . It can look really beautiful (from the lady that can not leave her own eyebrows alone and reaches for the paint pot too on observing a grey hair.)
DeleteI agree with you, Jane Chantal, on all points.
DeleteI agree with you Sandra. I find that Mary looks lovely from head to toe. I like her hair style ... it has a vintage vibe which goes well with her outfit.
ReplyDeleteJudy.
Yes, I agree with Sandra, too.
DeleteCP Mary carries herself with a quiet dignified presence, she has a great aura, a real lady. This is a gorgeous coatdress very elegant. The fit and flow of the dress is perfect, love the length. The colour suits her perfectly. Her accessories are on point. Her diamond and sapphire brooch, is fabulous, a brilliant choice with the background colour of her coatdress. Makeup is natural and just right. I love her hair. She looks beautiful. Crown Prince looks impeccably well groomed. He looks marvellous in uniform, a very handsome man. They make a fantastic team.
ReplyDeleteVery well said, Ava!
DeleteMary "has a great aura, a real lady".
What a pleasure to read Newmyroyals this morning with my cup of tea. The majority of the comments concerning the Prince and Princess's participation in the ceremony were on topic, that is, related to fashion, hair styles, hats etc.
ReplyDeleteIs our moderator culling out the off topic comments? If so, thank you and please continue.
Think I'll have a second cup of tea now and then get out of my non-fashion pyjamas.
p.s. maybe the photos of that handsome Prince in his uniform helped my reading pleasure also.
Deadeggs you' re very nice, exactly my thoughts!
DeleteWhat a glorious morning!
Good morning, Deadeggs, enjoy your tea! I had a Cappuccino because my hubby loves making Cappuccino!
DeleteI agree! Now if we could just get away from these bizarre comments about Hollywood. Maybe we could stick to comparisons we have some knowledge about, the opinions of the person commenting could be taken more seriously.
Deletep.s. The Prince is easy on the eyes, isn't he?
Cette robe n'est pas renversante. Mary pourrait moderniser son look, et je n'aime pas la couleur de ses cheveux, ni d'ailleurs son chapeau. Mary est une très belle femme et pourrait être plus audacieuse dans ses choix vestimentaires, trop classique
ReplyDeleteThis occasion requires a formal outfit.
DeleteI think style is something beyond fashion trends.
May prosperity of Denmark and Danish Royal Family continue to reign
ReplyDeleteIt surprises me in a sad way that you accept anonymous comments! Totally unnecessary. Why hide?
ReplyDeleteProbably , better accepting anonymous but polite comments than unkind ones with names written on them.
DeleteI have never (and probably never will) equate the words tacky and CP Mary. For those that think she is in this for whatever reason (hair, hat, etc), I must ve missing something. Comparing her to a tacky Hollywood celeb is laughable in my opinion. She has more class in her little finger.
ReplyDeleteChel
@ Chel
DeleteI fully agree.
Totally agree, Chel!
DeleteI find it extraordinarily tacky not to notice that when the sun shines directly on brown hair, it necessarily gets a reddish hue. - Anyway, she looks elegant as always. (-Ann.)
