Danish Royal Hunt

On Thursday, members of the Danish Royal Family were on hand for the Royal Hunt at Fredensborg Castle. Prince Henrik wore a natty tweed hunting cap that I thought suited him quite well…

…until I saw the rest of his outfit.

You saw it here first, folks- the latest in Scandinavian camo chic. Here’s a glimpse of Prince Joachim in a super-pinched fedora to calm your eyes.

Outfits and snazzy socks aside, these hats are both rather dapper, aren’t they?

Danish Royals Skiing in Switzerland

Prince Joachim and Princess Marie and their children posed for pictures this morning with their children, Prince Nicolai, Prince Felix, Prince Henrik and Princess Athena. The family is on a skiing holiday in Villars, Switzerland so ski hats and helmets were the order of the day.

Danish Royals Go Hunting

Queen Margrethe, Prince Henrik, Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim kicked off the Royal Hunt at Grib Skov yesterday. Queen Margrethe wore a Rapunzel headscarf while Prince Henrik wore a tweed newsboy cap (if you can look past his red socks to notice his hat). Prince Joachim was the only non-crazy dressed one of the bunch in a wintery wool fedora.  Don’t they all look like they are costumed for the reenactment of a Norse folk tale?! You can see a short video of this event on the Danish Royal website.

Danish Princes Visit Gentofte

Yesterday, Prince Henrik of Denmark visited Garderhoejfort, the historic fortress in Gentofte, with his grandsons, Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix. It certainly looks like a grand time was had by this trio, who posed for the press in reproduction soldier’s hats. I think this might be one of my favourite royal hat photos of 2013!

Danish Royal Couple Wrap Up Summer Cruise

Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik of Denmark enjoyed a visit to Møn today on the final day of their 2013 summer cruise. From all reports, it was a very windy day so Margrethe elected not to wear a hat. A true hat trooper to the core, she braved the wind with a wide jade green headband scarf. I’m not sure this is a fashion trend I would embrace long-term but you’ve got to admire a Queen who comes up with such brave last-minute millinery solutions in a crisis. Prince Henrik sported his yachting cap and looked dapper for the last day of this year’s sailing season.
