Crown Princess Mary's Daytime Fashion Part 17: May 2012 - August 2012

[cepe]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but another thread is discussing the cost of the Duchess of Cambridge's wardrobe following media speculation today. Someone posted that there had been press in Denmark about the cost of Princess Mary's wardrobe.

Is this true and is there an estimate on what the cost is?? I'm not being negative about Mary just trying to get a perspective. Many thanks

The article that someone posted in the Cambridge thread details that the couple apparently spend 600,000 DK a month on clothes, travel, shoes, automobiles and other necessties in life. In total they apparently spent more then their appange and it wasn't too well received when they fired 5 staff members. However, this was back in 2009.

I have always heard that Mary apparently over spends on clothes and shoes, I don't know figures as such but i'll gander over to the danish wealth and finances thread.

Muhler is very helpful.

In this thread, and this post he writes that;

In 2009 the CP coupled spend a little more than five million DKK, while the spending in 2010 exploded and ended up at a little more that 11.3 million DKK.

At the end of 2011 they got a pay rise;

Frederik will get 200.000 DKK more next year, of which a certain percentage will go to Mary. (Roughly 10 %).

Is it cold in Denmark now? I thought summer is warm there, no?
I like the look, very nice casual outift. Mary looks very good.

Not much variation in Danish weather...Danish summer temps = Australia winter temps that I am experiencing now...I guess the Danish have to find the positives in their limited weather range and embrace the double figure temps of 'summer' :P

So I guess they are all rugged up for a bracingly fresh summer's day :)

Mary looks very comfortable, which is the way to go when one is taking a walk.

Wow, that's cold for a summer time. I can't do cold, just can't, I did it for a long time, now I am warm and happy (OK, offtop, I know, I apologize). That explains why Mary is wrapped up. I As I said before, I like her outfit a lot. Very cozy, casual and nice.

It has to be said that it's a very miserable summer so far. We'll have a couple of nice days now, but it won't last.... So not much of this here in DK this year

She is in a Moncler jacket, by the way the same has Isabella and Christina, they are all wearing the same sleveless Moncler jacket.

I agree Muhler - miserable month of June so far - it'll probably end up being the second wettest June for the last 10 years as well.

We're all a bit starved for sun and summer warmth right now

[4Pam]

Wow that's a cold "summer." Brrr!!! Explains why she and the twins are all bundled up. Hopefully they have plans to go somewhere warm & sunny.

[ashelen]

Hope they take thekids for some beach time!!!!!

We are burning up, quite literally unfortunately, here in CO, and would gladly take some of your wet and cold

Is this thread about Denmark's weather or Mary's clothes????

[AnnaNotherThing]

Mary's clothing choices taking into account Denmark's weather...BAM!

As one has some to do with the other, I would say we are on subject here.
