Queen Margrethe In Italy

On Friday, Queen Margrethe’s visit to Rome took her to the Presidential Palace Palazzo Quirinale  where she met with Italian President Sergio Mattarella. For this meeting, the Danish Queen repeated her purple felt  slightly domed pillbox with sequin trim and side feather spray.

It’s a great hat for Margrethe- in scale, shape but particularly in colour, as she wears such saturated, jewel tones so well. On the hat’s first outing we didn’t get a look at the accompanying dress- clearly, the two pieces were designed to go together, with the horizontal bodice pleats making subtle reference to the black sequins that trim the perimeter of the hat. I think t’s an elegant and striking ensemble.

Danish Queen Embarks on Annual Summer Cruise

Queen Margrethe set sail yesterday for the second part of her annual summer cruise which will see her spend three days in Bornholm municipality. In a surprise move, she started this second cruise leg with the debut of a new hat!

In white straw, the hat follows a very simple and classic design with a rounded crown and upturned kettle brim, trimmed simply with white braid around the brim and stacked as a hatband. White is one of my least favourite colour on Margrethe but a new hat is always welcome in her oft repeated wardrobe so I’ll take this one without major complaint.

Princess Mary Opens Flower Festival

Crown Princess Mary official opened the Odense Flower Festival yesterday. For the occasion, she repeated her natural straw hat with squared crown and gently curled side brim, a hat we’ve not seen worn for seven years. The photos of this event give an excellent view of the side angles of this hat and show just how pointed the back of the crown is- a feature I’m not certain about. We’ve seen this hat trimmed in six different ways and its embellishment on this outing was its largest spray of silk flowers, straw bows and feathers. Paired with Mary’s black and white floral dress, makes for an elegant summer ensemble.

New Hat For Queen Margrethe

Queen Margrethe arrived aboard the royal yacht Dannebrog at Aabenraa Port on Saturday morning, en route to her summer residence at Gråsten Palace. Her official visit was short (long enough to greet the mayor and listen to a brass band) and she surprised with the debut of a new hat for the occasion. In pale pink straw, the hat features a tapered crown and medium length brim, gently upswept on one side. The brim is edged in slightly darker pink fabric with a slim stripe of white piping repeated from the Queen’s jacket that also peeks out atop a pink hatband. White silk flowers on the right side of the hat complete it. It’s a less vibrant look than we’re used to seeing on the Danish queen but a decidedly refined one. That simple use of white piping gives such a polished look to both the whole ensemble.
