Maybe I'm kooky, but I find images of couples making just a geasture or a look that seems to hold private meaning much more romantic then kissing in public.

In anycase, they seem to be having a lovely and successful trip.
I like, that they sometimes choose to share their love with us. But I stress 'choose', because I don't like people expecting them to overdo it.

Yesterday in Odense, it was not a part of the original programme, that the couple should wave from the balcony of the town hall. However, after the kiss in Aarhus, the officials in Odense made a quick decision to make the balcony ready for the couple.

The couple was then asked, after they actually had arrived at the town hall, if they wanted to enter the balcony. I don't think, they really had a choice, because the mayor already announced the changed programme in the press, and crowds were waiting below the balcony. They then made an appearance at the balcony, but only twice, and they didn't kiss.

For me, it would have been really fine, if they had kissed today in Sønderborg as well. However, they choose not to do so.

And yes, I think they are having a lovely and successfull trip :)

Did Mary switch her shoes? It doesn't look like she's wearing the aqua colored shoes in the "hand in hand" photo.

Frederik actually changed his clothes every day. Each day, when they first arrived, he was wearing a long black jacket with lots of decorations etc. In Århus, Aalborg and Odense he changed into another black jacket, while he in Sønderborg choose to wear his "summer-uniform" due to the warm weather.

As for Mary. All I can say is, that they actually had a small break on board Dannebrog today, because the revealing of the sculpture by Günther Grass took place on the quay.

I know, that when they visited 'The old town' in Århus, she had actually been advised not to wear her high heels. She chose to keep the high heels though, and maybe she regretted that walking the cobblestone covered streets

My guess would be, that she today choose a more practical foot-wear, when they visited 'Dybbøl Mølle'.

I love her hats! She looks very polished with her hats on. And hats gives you that "oommph" factor, as Maxima can readily attest!

Go ahead Mary, we love your hats and I might just steal the one you wore to Odense off you! :P
She looks better with hats although sometimes i have to search where is her face....

She looks better with hats at least they cover her fine flat hair

I'm interested .... can I ask if English is your first language? Because it's usually "where her face is"....

Anyway, did anyone see the Graasten pics??? I thought Mary looked sooooo beautiful! So elegant and subdued!!

I think Humble means means that Mary's hats cover her face so much, that it's hard to see it. So you have to look for some parts of her face, at least. I like Mary's hats, but I don't think the types of hats that she has been wearing matches with her clothes.

Hats don't necessarily need to match with the clothes. They can match with a shoes or purse for example. They can also serve to bring out the color contrast in an outfit so the entire outfit isn't just uniformly one color, or they can play up a minor color in an outfit.

Matching hat and shoes:

Alexandra

Mary

Playing up less dominant colors of an outfit:

I like the photo of where Frederik is smelling the rose. I expected Mary to be smiling but her expression is rather serious.
