    Really the worst dress on Queen Mary. It does absolutely nothing for her and it makes her look old. I don’t think black is a good color for her.

      Formal military wear for Mary. I love the table setting, did you notice the forks are upside down though? I’m used to the English formal table setting, can anyone from Denmark educate me on this?

      No worst dress really visible anywhere, she wears a beautifully tailored short feminine jacket as background for the military adornments she has to wear on this occasion.

    What a lovely photo. Love queen M huge medallion brooch. Perfect amount of bling. Queen Mary has a nice uniform jacket, not fussy on her hair. Nevertheless they all look appropriately dressed, even the kings hair is looking better.

      Lovely photo. So glad that Queen Margrethe’s blue skirt provides a spot if colour in an otherwise very sombre line up

      What happened to Mary? I am a huge fan of her style but this is not a look I can find anything positive to say about, and so unusually for her , her hair is a mess. Let’s hope it is a one off. LRB

      @Anon 19:21: At closer inspection you'll notice that she wears a military uniform jacket and if you read Helen's introductory text, you will know the reason.

      Anon 18:47: Her hair looks disheveled as if she had faced a strong wind. Queen Margrethe's hair also looks a little disheveled.

    Everyone looks lovely! I think I see one Navy woman peeking from the back row, second from the right. Does anyone know the history of the mighty jewel circle brooch pinned to Margarette’s bodice?

    Désolée, il n'y a que le dressage de la table qui m'intéresse !

    I don't know what's doing her hairdresser, this is the worst looking hair on her seems to me. Wake up call. Poltroni
