On February 3, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark opened the special exhibition "H.K.H. Crown Princess Mary 1972 - 2022" in The National History Museum at Frederiksborg Palace, organized on the occasion of the Crown Princess' 50th birthday. Crown Prince Frederik, Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine were present at the opening.
During the opening of the exhibition, a new portrait of the Crown Princess was unveiled. The exhibition tells the Crown Princess' personal story through photos, portraits and personal objects as well as costumes worn by her at various tasks, travels and festivities.
The portrait is stunning! The artist has captured Mary beautifully.
ReplyDeletePrincess Josephine is a carbon copy of her mother, but Princess Isabella definitely takes after her father. She is sporting a little make-up here and is blossoming into a beautiful young lady. Her attire seems a little frumpy to me, and makes her look much, much older than she is. However it is cold and wintry in Copenhagen and perhaps that was best suited to the day's weather and event. Really nice to see them all. Prince Christian must be at school. It's an important academic year for him as well.

Agree about the portrait capturing Crown Princess Mary so well and it is lovely how CP Frederik and the three kiddos showed their support. Love Mary’s whole outfit (color, jewels, hair, etc.) Just not a fan of peplum over full skirt.
DeleteI do agree with you Anon 9:13 about the resemblance between each of the girls and their parents (Isabella-Fred, Josephine-Mary), although I see Isabella very much resembling her grandmother Queen Margrethe whom CP Fred so resembles. With her long soft curls here she so reminds me of the younger pics of the Queen.
As far as Isabella’s outfit- I strongly support all of these young, lovely/handsome royals as they try out fashion, finding their way, amidst these events in front of the public eye.
She is far, far too young to have a defined “style” at this point for anyone to “evaluate” they way they might an adult. She is a teen and has it moment by moment as they all do with full encouragement to try out all kinds of colors and styles to see what she enjoys and looks/feels good in herself. I absolutely think she looks just lovely here in support of her mother as do the rest of the kids.

The Portrait of the CP is delightful, I love this. What a great exhibition. CP Mary looks lovely in her blue suit, the brooch is gorgeous. The children look lovely. I particularly like Princess Josephine's outfit.
ReplyDeleteAwful outfit on Isabella. She´s so beautiful, but her outfit is better suited for a 60 year old bridge club member.
ReplyDeleteThe painting is wonderful.
That is very much Isabella's style, she dresses like an older lady. Hard to believe she is only 14!
DeleteJosephine dresses more like her age, i find her style is very chic

This is wonderful. Isabella looks grown up. Mary is stunning as always Mary
ReplyDeleteLately I don't get to excited about mode. Maybe what Mary wears is a wink to Baroque times wearing a hoop. In the fifties it has also a revival.
ReplyDeleteBut NOW I have to say the next generation is surpassing the past!!
What Isabella ( the name says it all) and Josephine are wearing! I just give them a big hug, giving big expectations! The royal kids are all looking after Frederik, Christian more Mary ( two cuties). I think Isabella has a stubborn side, just my feeling.
The golden earrings she's wearing, a simple design but o so remarkable and the dress has a fantastic color! The ruffles on Josephine's are modern and playful.
They for sure know how to dress themselves. With love from Holland.

Stunning portrait! Mary looks beautiful in navy and today she doesn’t disappoint. The family looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis blog seems more and more dedicated to Mary Donaldson... Isnt there any other royal to talk about just to change matter for some time??
ReplyDeleteI think you need to consider that there is an event every day in Denmark celebrating the 50th birthday of the Crown Princess--there numerous events happening to honor Mary so there are numerous photos right now. Further, the other royal ladies need to be out and about at events where they are being photographed. I hope you noticed the coverage on this blog of Queen Mathilde, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Duchess of Cornwall just today.
DeleteI believe they cover who's "out and about" on any given day. Mary's been working it these last few weeks.
DeleteThis week it is indeed Crown Princess Mary's week. We noticed also Queen Mathilde, DCambridge, DCornwall and a couple of others. I can only talk about Queen Mathilde but on the website "Fashion Queen Mathilde" I see pictures where she received people in the Royal Palace or places where she went for a visit which are not mentioned on this blog. That was the case during december 2021 and january 2022. If there is only one photo of Maxima, Kate, Mary, etc. taken during a visit they made, it is on this blog. So I'm happy that this week QMathilde has not been forgotten and it is not over yet. I'm curious for today.
DeleteIsabella is growing into a beautiful young lady. I see a resemblance between her and Martha Louise of Norway.
ReplyDeleteMary looks great in her beautiful blue suit! The portrait is sensational--and really capture's Mary. How nice that Isabella, Vincent, and Josephine were able to join their parents for this special event. Isabella is really growing up--and she is a very pretty girl. I love Josephine's dress--that ruffle is so stylish and adds the perfect fashion dash to her dress. Vincent is such a handsome boy and he looks like such a gentleman in his suit. I love how Denmark is celebrating their hardworking Crown Princess.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing in these pics that get me excited is that gorgeous painting. Mary's dress is a gorgeous color, but something about the fit or style of the dress is off for me. Isabella's outfit is way too frumpy for such a beautiful young lady. The twins look great.

I see some just can't help themselves they just have to criticize children. Do you have any idea how deep wounds you make in a young mind? Do you care? I guess you would care if this was your own children. And before you say they don't read what we write. YES THEY DO! As Princess Ingrid Alexandra said in her interview. She read what people said even if she probably shouldn't. Who isn't on the net these days. Why don't we try to use the mantra is this something I would like to read about my own? If not, we know it's wrong to write it. So time to grow up and behave like adults. This is embarrassing people.
ReplyDeleteYou are so very right.
DeleteSome comments on royal children are disgusting.
You know, a few narratives come up when some people run short of argumentations or do not even have anything to say at all.
My opinion: Isabella is so beautiful, She resembles a young Queen Margrethe.
She is dressed elegantly and a bit formally, quite appropriatly for this occasion.
As for all the others , they look fabulous.
Mary's midnight blue( on my screen) suit or dress is just exquisite.
I like the portrait and the clothes on display too.

DeleteWhat are you talking about???
Everybody is glorifying the kids.
-A-
Agree P. They all look great. Is mind boggling that so called adults behave like the biggest bully in the school yard.
Deleteblah, blah, blah, blah
DeleteA, the nasty one has been deleted, but you obviously haven't read this blog if you don't have noticed trashing of the kids over the years.
DeleteAno 12:43 congratulation you just told us how you and yours want to be treated. You must be proud.
Les photos de la famille sont merveilleuses dont Mary qui est superbe dans cette couleur bleue - Beaucoup d'allure chez les jumeaux qui ont bien grandi ; trop mignonne Joséphine et Vincent qui est vraiment beau ; il va en faire craquer plus d'une plus tard - Isabella est devenue une très jolie jeune fille avec un de ces regards !!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful portrait of CP Mary. Princess Isabella is becoming a beautiful young woman.
ReplyDeleteNothing new, we have seen these royal portraits a 1000-times before. Why not dare to hire a more modern artist? I'm so tired of these ultra conservative royal portraits, they communicate absolutely nothing about our time or the subject other than being "pretty".

Una bella famiglia, ma il principe Vincent è il più bello di casa…promette bene!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family! CP Mary is grace and beauty personified!
ReplyDeleteIsabella I think is a mix of her Dad & Mom.
Josephine is a mini Mary.
Vincent is looking more like Mary’s father.
Wishing CP Mary a wonderful birthday!
Que belleza de cuadro. Isabela viste muy de mayor para su edad
ReplyDeleteI see a portrait of a woman with razor sharp shoulder bones, and not the Mary who lives and breaths, I know many said they like it, maybe it looks better in person, but I was not a impressed with it.
ReplyDeleteNo one’s talking bout the prince Vincent he’s stunning
