    As always, P.Benedikte is the epitome of elegance. All three outfits are lovely and appropriate to the events as well as the surroundings.
    I really like the wrap in the first photo, and I love her dress in the last few photos.

    Didn't know she made foreign travels, what a lovely surprise! She looks wonderful, and very elegant in all of the outfits. I would wear the striped dress and the pink outfit myself (I'm half her age). The pink suits her very well and her hair and make-up are perfect. She's a true role model in ageing gracefully and staying active.

  6. Quel véritable modèle d'élégance, la princesse Benedikte ne manque pas de m'étonner qu'elle soit en robe ou pantalon ; j'aime bien l'ensemble de sa tenue de la première photo même si elle a tendance à se froisser peut-être à cause du lin !

    A really very pretty dress! Pleased to see somebody who can wear this difficult length to her advantage.

    Au risque de me répéter, la Princesse Bénédicte est une femme fort élégante.

      Totally agree! She’s lovely and elegant even in simple clothes. Terrific organisation and quite a milestone 50 years.
