King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark are making a two-day official visit to the Federal Republic of Germany. On 21 October, King Frederik and Queen Mary were welcomed by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender at Bellevue Palace. Afterwards, the King and Queen visited the Reichstag Building and were received by the President of the Bundestag, Bärbel Bas.
Today, King Frederik and Queen Mary, along with The Royal House of Sweden, The Royal House of Norway, the President of Finland, the President of Iceland, and the President of Germany, will take part in a joint Nordic celebration. The event marks the 25th anniversary of the Nordic embassy complex in Berlin.

Mary’s outfit is really pretty. I like the colors and fabrics and the pattern on the skirt. Very elegant.

Agree !!
DeleteLooks like Catherine, I do not like the diadem, too much Catherine-vibe.
ReplyDelete:))) Thanks for the laugh!!!!!
DeleteQueen Mary was a Royal many years before Catherine ever stepped in a palace so to say Mary is copying her should be the other way around. she is styling herself differently now that she is Queen and wearing headbands (not diadems), hats, fascinators like so many other royals do. I think that Catherine may adopted her look so are you going to say the next time Catherine is dressed similar to Mary that she has too much Mary vibe going on. Probably not!
Delete@FITZHUGH It does not matter that Mary is much older, since she is putting on these headbands years after Catherine started wearing them. have you noticed that this year Mary is wearing exactly the same items as Catherine? few days ago Jane Taylor headband the exact same model as Catherine, but in different colour. Same model alexander mcqueen suit, but in a different colour. It goes on and on. Even the brands, so many British brands, almost no Danish/Australian brands.
DeleteLooks like Catherine! I wish Mary did not wear diadems, they do not suit her.
ReplyDeleteI find Mary’s outfit particularly flattering, and the headband-hat absolutely beautiful in framing and enhancing her face. The colours are gentle and feminine on her. But I don’t envy the ladies walking in such high heels on cobblestones … pic 4 looks like the president’s wife’s shoe is about to twist under her?… Grace
DeleteI disagree, I would rather see a diadem than a hat. Perhaps if stopping the comparisons to Catherine, she is not the royal standard for Europe, then we can appreciate that the headband is a more modern look. It suits everyone and you can see their face clearly. Dark colours do look nice on QM but this blue is lovely too.
DeleteThe outfits are not bad. Not keen on the head thing though, but the colours are all wrong for Mary. She kinda dissapear in this pale colour.
ReplyDeleteThe outfit is elegant and original but I don't think that baby blue is the best color for the Queen Mary. Aziliz
ReplyDeleteUne jolie couleur pour le manteau. J'aime aussi l'encolure très simple.
ReplyDeleteBeau chemisier. La jupe est raffinée mais un peu longue.
Tenue déjà portée en mai lors de sa visite en Norvège, mais je ne retrouve pas cet article dans les archives ici ??
Belle harmonie des couleurs : bleu glacier et beige-doré très chic pour les accessoires qui s'accordent bien avec les quadrillage de la jupe.
Par contre je ne suis pas sûre que ce foulard-turban soit une bonne idée.
J'aime bien la tenue très simple de l'épouse du président. Paloma.
La jupe peu trop longue
DeleteThe two ladies look lovely. I'm much looking forward to the celebrations this afternoon in the capital of my home country, when we will also see CPs Victoria and Mette-Marit, alongside their respective husbands. Plus the presidents of the Republics Iceland and Finland, of course. It is such a great idea to have a large joint embassy for all the Nordic Countries, and it should serve as an example for other countries (like Latin American ones, for example) to consolidate, get more effective, and perhaps save money as well.
ReplyDeleteBelle association des couleurs bleu pâle et camel chez Mary - Cela faisait un moment que je n'avais point vu ses boucles d'oreilles ; j'aime beaucoup l'ensemble ivoire de madame Büdenbender !
ReplyDeleteShe looks like Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser from Qatar.
ReplyDeletePas du tout ; Mary est unique !
DeleteNo !!
DeleteLol who?
DeleteNow that you said that, I cannot unsee it!
DeletePetra
Mary looks lovely and Ms Büdenbender elegant. I think we will see wonderful photos of the Joint Nordic Celebration!
ReplyDeleteQueen Mary's skirt is too long. It is not very elegant when it is longer than the coat. The colors are good. The headband would be lovelier without that piece of fabric hanging out on the left side of her neck. Elke Büdenbender is looking very good all in Winterwhite. She has a nice haircut for the moment.
ReplyDeleteSi, è vero. Mary sparisce con questi colori che sono comunque belli.
ReplyDeleteE dico no al fascinator che penzola.
Rossella
We already saw that Frau Büdenbender is a woman of taste: today again she looks quite good in white with black shoes.
ReplyDeleteQueen Mary tried too hard, but alas, the neckline of the coat is not good in combination with a V- neck blouse.The blouse itself is beautifull, but the skirt just too long. The head- thing? Mwah
I love the headband very much, it is so decorative with Mary's dark hair. Also, I would like to suggest that dear Catherine does not have a monopol for headbands, sure she also would not want to. The whole ensemble is very well coordinated and extremely elegant, the headband is the dot on the "i".
ReplyDeleteQueen Mathilde and CP Elisabeth are wearing headbands sometimes. Nobody has a monopol. Fabienne Delvigne made already headbands before anybody else did.
DeleteThe pale colors tend to wash Mary out a little but overall she looks very nice. And I love her coat.
ReplyDeleteQM looks great in this pale blue colour combination -beautiful. The only thing I'd like to change is how long are the skirt and coat - they should be the same IMO. Zofia
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I really like the whole outfit but the skirt hanging down below the coat detracts from the polished appearance and looks sloppy. Kudos to both ladies in their heels on the cobbles. Wonder why they are not walking on the red carpet
DeleteAnnieM
A similar headband - as o Queen Mary's in her hair - is what I wear when I clean my house: when I mop the floor to keep my hair out of my face.
ReplyDeleteThe colors of both ladies are nice, but Mary needs to shorten her skirt, the President's wife needs to shorten her sleeves, and Mr. President needs to shorten his pants.

HRHnesses, Queen Mary and King Frederik: Charming, beautiful, elegant as ever!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's "Their Majesties"
DeleteFor me Mary's casual clothes are great. Her evening wear is terrific but her smart day time clothes somehow often just do not appeal. I rarely like the hats so this new trend of hair bands just fits the bill for me personally. I love this blue coat, shirt and skirt and the total look is lovely colour and style wise.
ReplyDeleteMary looks well groomed and elegant, love her outfit.
ReplyDeleteI love this whole outfit! Queen Mary looks very beautiful in her elegant outfit--the skirt and blouse are a repeat from her trip to Norway or Sweden this summer. Given that it is now much cooler, it's great that she paired this look with a coat she's worn for years. I think the headband--by the way, I started wearing headbands when I was about 3 years old and I'm 64 now (in other words they have been in and our of fashion for years so no one has a monopoly on this style of headpiece)--is a perfect choice here. Yes, Mary looks great in hats but the headband allows her wear her hair down and control her hair at the same time--I love the scarf-like details on this headband too. And, it's a restyling of a recently worn outfit because the first time she wore a fascinator. I also like that she changed up the earrings this time too--the Notkin earrings pick up the gold tones in the skirt. Ms. Budenbender also looks terrific in her stylish coat dress. Can't wait to see the CP Victoria and CP Mette-Marit--I've seen them on other sites and they look fabulous!

I do love the headband on Mary. I think royal women should wear them more often, especially on windy days. I always thought it was awkward seeing one arm arm raised trying to keep the hat from blowing away while hanging onto their purse with the other.
