    Princess Benedikte ( not mentioned in the headline) outshines the younger generation!

      No she does not! And why do you have to make comparisons? Does it add value to your life to be negative towards two stragers?

      حذف
    2. Is it possible to compare two ladies with a 30year difference of age ? Ok, YOU may prefer Benedikte. If Mary were dressed in Benedikte's usual style, she would be called old fashioned for her age.

      Something you cannot buy or learn is that royal attitude no matter what kind of clothes you wear (ref. Princess Benedikte has it). Something her nephew the King doesn't seem to have inherited although he is a descendant of royals and princes.

    7. @Anon 07:17 King Frederik is making good progress.
      He's been taking note of the good examples set by Queen Mary.
      He looks quite yummy with his shorter haircut 😁

    Lovely dress Q Mary is wearing, the only thing maybe a different belt? I like Benedikte's outfit but a bit too many flowers on the coat, the dress and handbag are nice. Nice smile from the King. css

    Both ladies look terrific but I’m partial to Princess Benedikte’s gorgeous red coat. The pattern is beautiful and Benedikte elegant and classy as always.

    Both ladies look so casually elegant.
    It's also nice to see Frederik in a different coloured suit, AND one that coordinates with his wife's dress, lol. Well done :)

      No sensational hair here.
      She begins to look like a copy of a personage from " Little house on the prairie" with her hair everywhere.
      With short hair or a bun will take the dress to center stage.

    Also, Prinzessin Benedikte! Das Outfit ist einfach umwerfend, der Mantel, die Farbe des Kleides und die Handtasche (Ferragamo?) farblich passend zum Kleid. Ganz wunderbar.

    Both royal ladies are looking very good. I like their dresses.
    King Frederik should try to keep his legs together (picture N° 8), or asking for a non transparant desk.

    1. Maybe instead of having him sit at a non transparent desk they could shackle his legs together. That will teach him a lesson and besides I like his smile!!!

      حذف
    2. @12:02. Well yes, but King Fred is quite tall.
      If he stood with his legs together, he'd probably fall over.
      He stands like that for stability ....no?
      I think it's more important that he learns how to sit at a Royal banquet.
      For example, both elbows on the table is not too "King" like.
      There's still a bit of the untamed boy left in him.
      But with Queen Mary's examples, he'll get there.

      King Frederik quite tall ? Put him next to queen Mathilde or queen Maxima and he looks like a little boy. Someone on this blog said he was wearing special shoes to make him look taller. (As we can not control this, I assume it is gossip).

      What must King Felipe do then ? I've never seen or heard him asking for a chair when he must give a speech and his legs are not so wide open as King Frederik's. If he still must learn how to sit at a Royal banquet and how to stand when he has to give a speech, it is a bit late don't you think ? What did he do all the time when he waited to take over from his mother Queen Margrethe ? To come back to King Felipe on the evening before the opening of the Olympic games in Paris, I saw him step out of the limo in front of the Museum of Modern Art where the diner took place, even if you didn't know who he was you saw immediately at his attitude he was a king, the way he held his shoulders and his back only a very important aristocratic gentleman looks like that.

    5. Two comments on the net that say King Frederik is 'around' 6ft. tall.
      Queen Mathilde, 5ft. 9 inches. Queen Maxima 5ft. 8inches.

      Queen Mathilde is taller than Queen Mary. When King Frederik stands next to his wife they have the same length. By deduction Mathilde is taller than Frederik. Look at the picture when several Queens and Princesses were invited by Queen Camilla for afternoon tea. Queen Mathilde was the tallest : taller than Rania of Jordan, taller than Queen Camilla, taller than the Duchess of Edinburgh, taller than Queen Mary, etc... By the way, I bet that Princess Benedikte is taller than her nephew K. Frederik.

    Nice, but the patterns are clashing. Unintentionally, I am sure. This isn’t my favourite Zimmerman dress Mary has in her closet. In particular when beside Benedikte’s red heavily patterned coat, this dress washes Mary out.

    Benedikte's coat boarders on looking like an elegant bathrobe. Mary's dress is ok, needs a belt that is not so casual as the one she used.

    It’s not very often anyone outshines Queen Mary,but this time Princess Benedikte has.The colors,cut and accessories are beautiful.
    I like QM dress,but would have preferred a slimmer belt.

    New outfits for almost every occasion. Is materialism and excessive shopping what we are to look up to in royals?

    Princess Benedicte like her sister and many of us older women who begin to have a problem with our postures would benefit from a tailor or seamstress altering our hems so that they do not hike hike up in front. Not a criticism just a suggestion.
