Edit: Dennis you were 4 minutes faster than me with the pics ( grr )

What do you think about the coat? I don´t think it looks really elegant. Looks like something for a pregnant woman

Pregnant women normally avoid horizontal stripes (or they should) because it makes them look wider then they really are...

I like the coat, although I agree it doesn't really look elegant. It's different.

Like say Britters: " Is different." , Mary always wear different things and i love that a lot.
Thanks for the pics.

I like the whole ensemble. The coat is very lovely and elegant when paired with the black slacks, and her earrings are very subtle but beautiful. I think she looks great, this is probably one of my favorite looks from her.

[Mandy]

Thanks for the pictures. I also like the ensemble and I think that Mary looks very good.

[Guess Who]

[Danielle]

I agree she does great work. I just think it's almost like she became a present and thought she had to dress like the princess in the castle. I particularly disliked the lolly pink ball gown she wore to M+F's wedding, with the embroidered cape. If nothing else, it just didn't seem very age-appropriate.

Thanks for the pics! I think Mary's coat looks lovely!

I really like her coat! Those colors are awesome and look nice on her. Any idea who designed it?

I guess prada cause prada has a few skirts with the same shades and tops in the same color as the jacket.

yes, I like the colours too, very much and because she is tall and elegant she can wear horizontal stripes and manage not to look broad.

Marys hjertesag

Mary lyttede og spurgte ivrigt, da hun i to timer blev informeret om Julemærkefondens arbejde for børn med problemer

Mary tog i går for alvor hul på en af de hjertesager, som hun nøje har udvalgt sig. I to timer besøgte hun nemlig Julemærkefonden, hvor hun over en kop kaffe hørte om de danske julemærkehjem og fondens arbejde med børn med problemer.






Et arbejde, som interesserer Kronprinsessen så meget, at hun for nylig sagde ja til at blive protektor, og der er ingen tvivl om, at det er meget vigtigt for hende at sætte sig godt ind i sit nye område.

»Kronprinsessen ønskede et overordnet møde for at se os og for at sætte sig ind i arbejdet.

Hun spurgte meget interesseret hele vejen igennem, og vi orienterede selvfølgelig om julemærkehjemmene, om vores historie og om organisationen. Man må sige, at hun er meget sød og imødekommende,« siger direktør i Julemærkefonden Joan Vestergaard.

Masser af opmærksomhed

Hun modtog Mary uden for kontoret i det smalle Brolæggerstræde i det indre København, mens naboer og genboer hang i vinduerne for at se den berømte gæst.

Et tydeligt bevis for, at Julemærkefonden har fået en protektor som mere end nogen anden i landet kan tiltrække sig opmærksomheden. Mary bliver også mere og mere professionel til at tackle opmærksomheden. Hvor hun tidligere havde travlt med at stige ud af kronebilen og hurtigt gå forbi de mange ventende pressefotografer, når hun ankom til noget, stoppede hun i går op, så alle kunne nå at få et godt billede af hende, mens hun modtog blomster fra bestyrelsesformand Sigfred Sørensen. Foruden Julemærkefonden har Mary også valgt at være protektor for Copenhagen International Fashion Fair, Landsforeningen SIND og PsykiatriFonden

Oh no! she forgot to take off her bathrobe that morning.

[Lillia]

I like the top -- I think she's wearing pants too, is that right?

I also certainly she takes her fashion cues from her lady-in-waiting. CP's style was very different when she was doing her wardrobe by herself -- but it seems to me that her style seems to take a little from her elegant 'lady-in waiting' -- has anyone one else see the similarities in other pictures?

just my opinion...could be wrong...

[Lady Jean]

Are these pictures w/the aqua robe outfit from today or August 6, as it reads where the photos were posted. Thanks. I just like to keep track.Thank you for posting the pictures. She looks confident and lovely and seems to be doing a great job, especially on all of these solo engagements.

Mary has worked very hard to learn Danish and now speaks it fluently.
