I like the outfit...The jacket and the dress are very elegant... I agreed that she looks better without hat and that large, large necklace... But thatīs my opinion!

I would KILL for that jacket and the dress as well

She looked very nice! She could have looked even better without the hat.

The hat itself looks lovely on her...that bordeaux is terrific! But i don't see the point in matching it with a white/grey outfit. Maybe the shoes & purse should have matched the hat as well.
btw, I don't like the pearls...make her look older!

i don't think it's her best outfit either. she looks appropriate and regal, but it makes her way too old (the dress, the peals... and the icing of the cake is the hat) in my opinion.

I have to agree with you. I think she could have done without either the pearls OR the hat. A bit too much and it does age her. BUT she still looks beautiful nonetheless.

I don't like the coat and the hat colour is not the best for that outfit, although she looks good has always!

I love the outfit and the pearls kick-up the elegance factor. I am undecided about the hat, but if she wore matching gloves then it would have been a plus.

Must admit that the hat is one of Mary's that I like best - I adore the colour and there is just something about it which makes it very appealing to me.
Think we saw it the first time at the opening of the motorway in Jutland - together with that gorgeous coat from Marni (?).

Madame Royale - I am a sucker for pearls too

This is what I mean. The eyes are so "light", everthing is so clear: You can see every rinkle, every grey hair, every spot,... is THIS the real picture? Or are the others the real pictures? Which one is edited?

And I hate the hat... it reminds me of Olivia from Popeye. It is one of the hats she can throw into the rubbish... it is just ridiculous. (This is my own opinion...)

You're old aunt dressed well..haha.

The hat is a Philip Treacy creation and one of the first HRH wore. A beautiful colour and is quite simple and elegant.

Yes, I've always liked the hat, it just suits some outfits better than others.

Please!!! Not again this discussion: The hat IS nice because it IS a designer-hat.
Even designer-hats can be ugly!

Full frontal flashlight does cause this effect. As Soeren Steffen wasn't the only photog for this occassion there is always additional flashlight from other cameras. The pics don't look like they've been especially made over. Usually this is done by the media who buys them. The photographer only does select the best one and broadcast them as soon as possible as only the fast do sell.
