A long video from TV2 showing the DRF recieveing the Slovakian President at the airport. VIDEO: Kongehuset har besøg fra Slovakiet - TV 2 Nyhederne

The DRF turned out in force as you can see. And QMII was again-again wearing her now legendary Tele Tubby outfit.

The honour guard was inspected, correctly, from it's right flank and down.
 
In the video, I was surprised that the 2 ladies did not say hello to the family or at least the Queen & Prince on arrival to the airport. It looked like last minute greetings at the step of the plane before the President and his wife came off.

I never liked that outfit of the Queen but it is a great color. I love Mary's hat.

It is great to see Mary wearing the Aquamarine & pearl choker again. We haven't see it in a long time it seems. The Danish Prime Minister looks lovely as always. She could have been a model.
 
Looks like the DRF has pulled out the jewels wonderfully for tonights State dinner. I am so psyched!!!
 
Great pictures , Queen Margarethe wears the same evening dress as Friday in Luxembourg. I love Prince Henrik smile to Princess Mary.
 
Thanks for the pics, ladies :flowers:

And we have a gallery from BT: Se billederne: Thorning underholdte prinserne til kæmpe galla | www.bt.dk

Notice pictures #12 & 14.
The current three government parties are all led by women.
#12: Prime Minister Helle Thorning. - She is incidentally a living proof that women can be just a accomplished as men - in screwing things up...

#14: The real prime minister! Margrethe Vestager, known among some of those who are less than admiring as Queen Margrethe III.

#27: Each time I see that hat I involuntarily reach for my remote... It must be some kind of signal divice.
 
Princess Marie look's just amazing with that white dress! Just beautiful.
 
Love seeing the pearl choker again. I wish she would wear it with a cocktail dress also not just save it for state dinners. Its a lovely piece and could look great in a variety of ways.
 
Prince Henrik should order new Gala Coats to wear correctly his sash and all his Decorations. The same happened in luxembourg for the gala dinner.

Muhler ,
Thanks for your pictures. The blond lady in red did laugh your two Princes. She is Danemark Prime Minister.
I hope during the Dinner Prince Frederik paid attention to the women on his right : Mr. President’s Wife.

Loved the gala pics thanks to everyone who posted the links. The Prime Minister appeared to be telling an amusing story to Frederik and Joachim. Am delighted to see Marys pearl and Aquamarine choker again.
 
Thanks Polyesco.

A very large picture of our Marie and her Joachim on the way to the return dinner: http://www.bt.dk/sites/default/file...-ivan-gasparovic-og-fru-silvia-gasparovic.jpg

Then they presumably went home for a quick change before going to the Bond premiere. Joachim og Maries travle aften: Først statsmiddag - så Bond-premiere - Royale | www.bt.dk
Unless they changed at the hotel. I doubt very much they changed in the car on the way to the cinema as the article almost seems to suggest.

:previous:Thanks Roskilde:flowers:

nice pics of Mary with the kids at the center
 
It is a pity we don't see more photos of the First Lady and Mary inside the wonderful Rosenborg castle. It is a very impressive castle of artifacts.
 
Thank you Iceflower for posting the link. I always love to see Mary escorting the First Ladies to this wonderful castle, as it contains such fascinating history.
 
The BB coverage of the state visit is pretty shallow, to put it mildly!

However here are a couple of details that may be of interest.

The dress our Marie wore at the gala was from Max Azria.
Mary recyled a dress from Kenth Fredin.

At the return dinner, Marie wore a dress by Rikke Gudnitz - and Frederik wore a golden tie. (Which would no doubt have left the legendary valet Jeeves in a state of shock). :scream:
