The Royal Family in the costume of the Faroe Islands
IMO, Mary looks very nice, truly Danish:)
Thanks for the pictures everyone.
I have learned a lot about the Norwegian bunads and would love to learn more about the tradtional Danish (Faroian?) costumes if anyone has any information on them. The embroidery at the hem of Queen Margrethe's dress is beautiful.

I'd just like to point out that the traditional outfit worn by all the royals are from the faeroe islands (which I think Gloriana would agree on) and not danish. There are some danish traditional outfits, but no one really uses them, so I doubt you'll ever se Mary or Margrethe in one.

Margrethe and Henrik both own a Danish traditional costume, but as you said... they're very little used in Denmark, though Margrethe has been seen in hers. Prince Henrik got his as a gift this year.
I think that Margrethe used hers at the Silver Wedding Celebration of Sonja and Harald.
The Danish Royal Family seems such happy people. Princess Mary looks good. Pregnancy suits her. She may be one of the lucky women who does not put on to much weight during pregnancy.
Now well into her pregnancy, Princess Mary of Denmark nonetheless discreetly disguised her evolving figure as she and her husband, Crown Prince Federik, began a three-day tour of the Faroe Islands in the heart of the North Atlantic.
The royal couple joined Frederik's parents, Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik on the jaunt to the scenic 18-island archipelago, located northwest of Scotland and halfway between Iceland and Norway.
Residents of the semi-autonomous territory crowded the streets and waved Danish and Faroese flags as the royals made their way through the Old Town at Torshavn. And the prince and princess made a special effort to greet the tiniest of well-wishers, stooping to chat with children and even a curious puppy who had turned out to see the fanfare.
As the Islands' average summer temperature reaches just around 11 degrees Celsius, it came as no surprise that five months' pregnant Mary was well bundled in a pink scarf and tweed coat for the visit. The ladylike coverup was no match for the strong breeze, however, and Princess Mary's coat was swept aside to reveal a pretty pink dress and the beginnings of a bump.
1. Crown Prince Frederik and his pregnant wife, Princess Mary, enjoy a stunning view of the Faroe Islands
2. Frederik and Mary greet well-wishers, who waved Danish and Faroese flags as they lined the streets of the Old Town in Torshavn
3. Just under 50,000 people - 18,800 residents are located in metropolitan areas - live on the 17 inhabitable islands
4. The 18-island archipelago, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, features soaring cliffs and craggy mountains as well as 687 miles of coastline
5. The royal couple don traditional Faroese costumes during the visit

Indeed! And Faroese people do not likebeing called Danish. It's sort of like calling an Irishman or Scotsman English . Only we don't even speak the same language as the Danes, and have very little in common, culturally speaking.
Thank you all for posting the pictures. Mary looks stunning and an excellent choice in her outfit! She really has excellent taste in clothes and shoes! She brings elegance to most occasions!
