The jacket is too heavy for this light skirt. I am sure Marie will learn, she needs to find her own style and she and Joachim are totally different personalities as Fred & Mary. If her aim is to top Mary's sense of fashion she has already lost.

1. She has already lost????? Oh, give her a break, she is engaged to the Prince for about five hours and you say things like that? And: I doubt that her biggest aim in that marriage is to push Mary from a fashion throne!
2. Reports say that Marie's name in the future will be pronounced Danish. Mary is pronounced English, so the "a" is like the "a" in "mad". And Marie? Is it pronounced like in German or French, the "a" being like the "a" in "after"? And the stress in on the last syllable (Mary is stressed on the first)? Thanks.

I'm so excited to hear there will be a wedding. Can't wait to see all the lovely outfits and tiaras in the coming months! She seems very lovely and I wish them the best. I've seen only a few pictures of Marie and once a video (she handled herself very well I thought). I am eager to see what she receives for a tiara.

Just my thoughts  Mary had her fashion slips too, Marie will have ones (her outfit today was ok for me. No winner, but also nothing to close ones eyes about), just like nearly all other princesses. You can´t do always right and not all ppl can like your style.
It always was like that, it always will be like that...except anyone can sell a "princess uniform" to all princesses. Then no one could compare  Of course I´ve just spoken now for the "general opinion"...if one is thinking, that every outfit, that Mary has chosen since October 2003, was a stunner, I´m ok with it. Also style is in the eye of the beholder
I´m surprised, how short Marie seems. Somehow I had thought, she is at least 1.70m
However I´m happy for them! It will be very interesting to watch two young princesses in the DRF (talking about the nuclear family of the Queen) And maybe Marie can raise the "baby princess quote" in the DRF...

Me too. She seems very small in that picture. Somehow I always had the impression of a tall girl when she was standing next to Joachim. In that picture she looks much smaller than everyone around her.

I believe something similiar was said about Mary a few years ago, in comparison with Alexandra.
Styles and impressions can change.

She doesnt seem to be as tall as we think nor as short. I think she looks short due to the angle the picture was taken

Yippee!!! I am really happy that there will be another royal wedding! I cannot know 100 percent for sure yet, but I think I really like Marie.
Is Marie pronounced differently in Danish than in French??

It's similar, but in addition the -e is pronounced.

i think this is great news! I am so happy for them. It's kind of unfortunate that she and Mary look so much alike as this will doubtless lead to a lot of Marie v. Mary of the kind we're already seeing in this thread.
Let's try to judge Marie on her merits as a person shall we? and not on how her outfits compare to Mary's.
i continue to be amazed at the negativity towards Marie. I suspect it stems from both Alexandra's fans who dont want to see another woman in her place and Mary's fans who want their favorite to be the only younger royal lady in Denmark.

BTW: In last week's Bunte (a German mag) it was said that Marie becomes more and more popular in Denmark and so Mary has already a rival in her family. Let's hope that the two don't start a competition. To the contrary Mary should be happy that there is another Princess now soon and so the media will not only focus on her and her family. And Marie can learn from Mary.

Ok, thank you!
I wondered , because in German we always pronounce our "e"s , too like in Danish, except "Marie" that is always pronounced the French way.
