Queen Margrethe at Church in Frederksberg

Posted on by

Queen Margrethe attended a special service at the De Døves Kirke in Frederiksberg this morning to commemorate the release of the first sign language bible. She wore the white wool, fur trimmed hat she first wore last January during her Ruby Jubilee celebration. I don’t usually like hats in the same colour as the wearer’s hair, but I think this one is such a great shape on her that it works in this lovely winter white.

With the special posts here this week on Queen Beatrix (stay tuned tomorrow for the final installment), we’ve seen a lot of very large hats. While I usually adhere to the belief that “Bigger is Better” when it comes to hats, I really like Queen Margrethe in smaller ones. What do you think- bigger or smaller hats for this Danish Queen?

Queen Margrethe in Soroe

Posted on by

Queen Margrethe attended a High Mass at Herlufsholm Church in Soroe, Denmark today, She pulled out her purple Jubilee hat and dress for the occasion. If I’m keeping accurate count, this is the fourth time in 12 months she’s worn this outfit (Jubilee Service, Opening of Parliament, Luxembourg Royal Wedding, and today) and while I’m ready to see something new, I understand the need to wear an outfit at least four times.

Slovakian State Visit to Denmark

Posted on by

Slovakian President Ivan Gasparovic and his wife Silvia arrived in Denmark today for a state visit. The Danish Royal family arrived at the airport to greet them with hats in tow. Queen Margrethe repeated an electric blue beanie cap that I just can’t find much good to say about (any hat that makes a queen look either bald or like a Teletubby is just WRONG).  I think this hat should be retired.

Princess Marie wore a charcoal grey Garbo hat to match her lovely grey coat dress, but I think the floppy brim of the hat made it fall flat. One of her structured pillboxes would have better suited the structured military cut of her coat dress, me thinks. The only successful hat of the day (in  my humble opinion!) was Princess Mary’s structured dark blue felt chapeau designed by Danish milliner Susanne Juul. It was absolutely splendid.

Luxembourg Wedding: Danish Royal Guests

Posted on by

Royal Hats The Danish Royal Family was represented by Queen Margrethe, Prince Henrik, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary. Queen Margrethe repeated the lovely purple dress and hat worn earlier this year for both the Opening of Danish Parliament and her Ruby Jubilee Service.

Princess Mary also recycled a grey asymmetrical brimmed hat designed by Susanne Juul she wore to the opening of Dutch Parliament in 2009. Last time, I thought it was a little bland (perhaps because it was worn with an austere black dress). This time, however, I LOVE THIS HAT! It’s a fantastic shape for Mary and looks wonderful with her burgundy suit and the ruby earrings from her parure set (modified here with large grey pearl drops). So glamorous and super chic.

Danish Opening of Parliament 2012

Posted on by

The Danish Royal Family attended the Opening of Parliament in Copenhagen today. Queen Margrethe repeated the wonderful purple ensemble she wore at her Ruby Jubilee in February of this year.

Mary looked great in a structured black wide-brimmed hat also designed by Susanne Juul that we’ve seen her wear before. I like this hat- the wool crown and straw brim make make it interesting and light. Mary must like it too because she has the exact same hat in purple.

Princess Marie was looked smart in a greige monochrome ensemble topped with a petite straw pillbox hat.

The Queen’s sister, Princess Benedikte, wore a Susanne Juul stacked red wool felt beret. I thought the asymetrical shape looked great on her and livened up her plaid suit.
