Queen Margrethe, Crown Prince Frederik, Crown Princess Mary and Princess Benedikte attended the celebration of the Royal Yacht Dannebrog's 90th anniversary at the Port of Copenhagen. The Royal Yacht Dannebrog serves as the official and private residence for the Queen and other members of the Royal Family when they take summer cruises in Danish waters or make official visits to other countries.
The Royal Yacht Dannebrog was named by Queen Alexandrine in Copenhagen in 1931 and hoisted its flag for the first time on 26 May 1932. The Royal Yacht Dannebrog is administered by the Chief of The Queen’s Naval Household, who is a member of the Royal Court.
Both ladies are dressed very nicely - Queen Margarethe sporting the colours of the Danish flag and CP Mary wearing typical naval colours in an untypically styled dress. From the look of the unusual cuffs, I seem to recall that she has worn this dress before, and it does seem a little tight from the waist up. I do like the shape of the neckline and the chiffon pleats showing through under the skirt.

Interesting dress worn by CPM; wish we could see it somewhat closer, as now it seems to me the top is a bit tight and there's too much white fabric in the skirt.
ReplyDeleteQM's jacket combined with the red bow blouse look good on her. Love the red clip in her hair. The skirt somehow doesn't work for me; maybe because of its white colour.
From what I can see from PB she looks super elegant again; the soft apple green looks good on her.

Not a fan of Mary's dress especially from the waist down. Those tightly folded white pleats poking out the front of the dress is just quite strange to me.

That is what makes it special and elegant. Siv
DeleteI agree with you, Renee! I also think it is a strange looking dress.

Mary has worn this dress before on an official visit to Paris I believe. I like the dress it is unusual & something different. All the ladies look great. Mary
ReplyDeleteCrown Princess Mary’s dress is gorgeous and I like the ponytail for this event. Princess Benedikte looks as cool and elegant as always and the Queen is cheerful in her red and white. Good looks for all.

That's exactly what I thought, AnnieM. The only thing I'd add is that Prince Frederick
DeleteThat's exacty what I thought @AnnieM. The only thing I'd add is that Prince Frederik, to be well dressed, has to be in a uniform.
DeleteYou missed the best photo I think, bit spicy when Crown Princess Mary got onboard the boat, the light hits her dress in the most tasteful way - a great spot shot..

Great looks from the Danish royals! Fred is dashing in his naval uniform. HM looks marvelous in her Danish colors ensemble--perfect for the occasion too. CP Mary looks beautiful in this interesting repeat. I liked the first time out and still really like it. One thing I'd love for her to know--that white panel in the shirt is a bit sheer; the 2nd and 6th photos are showing quite a bit of leg through the unlined skirt. On another note--I like how Mary is dressed in the navy colors for this occasion--blue and white are just the right note. Finally, the one shot of Princess Benedickte looks like she's wearing a floral skirt with a fitted pale green jacket. Lovely colors for her.

Princess B looked lovely in her soft spring colors. Not a fan of the dress Mary was wearing.
ReplyDeleteHer Majesty looks outstanding in the Danish colors, I particularly love her blouse. Princess Bene looks immaculately groomed, I love her ensemble. CP Mary lovely, but there is something about her dress that isn't appealing to me, but I am not sure what? I love her navy shoes, and beautiful pearl earrings. Lastly I have to say how handsome and dashing CP Frederik looks in his Naval uniform, he has a lovely smile.
ReplyDeleteLove Mary's ponytail. Her outfit looked elegant and her sheer dress offered some tastefully sexy moments :)
ReplyDeleteBenedikte looked good in her green blazer. The Queen eyecatching in her red-white outfit.
Sexy ???
DeleteCP Mary's dress looks old-fashioned almost like a theatrical costume and it doesn't fit, the navy blue colour is perfect but all the white fluttering fabric in the skirt is not suitable for a boat trip.
ReplyDeleteA no to the dress.
Queen Margrethe in Dannebrog's colours looks lovely. Princess Benedicte always in the same kind of outfits regardless of the event. / Mille
Trois look différents pour la famille royale mais j'aurais aimé mieux voir celui de la princesse Benedikte dont une veste ajustée et longue étole vert pastel ; les fleurs de sa jupe apportent une touche plus soutenue ; porte t-elle des chaussures à petits talons ou plus plates comme celles de la Reine ?!
ReplyDeleteMary and Benedikte has beautiful outfits, especially Mary's dress has an interesting design. I'm not always fan of Queens clothes but at least she has very strong own style, thumbs up for her.-Siri
ReplyDeleteMary always looks so mesmerized by the camera.
ReplyDeleteJealousy will do nothing for you. Siv
DeleteWhat makes you think it is jealousy? I would not give anything I have in return for what I see in these pictures.
ReplyDeleteYes...Mary never met a camera she didn't love as long as it's pointed at her. It's not jealousy to point that out.
