For a day on the water sailing to Disko Bay in Qeqertarsuaq, Queen Mary reached for another puffer in her rotation by Patagonia, which she paired with two cold-weather essentials: a Harkila jacket and Penelope Chilvers boots.

The Danish state visit to Oslo
The Danish royal couple’s second sun-dappled day in Oslo commenced with a government luncheon hosted by the Norwegian prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre at Akershus Castle. The occasion saw Queen Mary debut two never-before-seen garments: the Ariceli checked bouclé midi-skirt by Emilia Wickstead – who remains a firm favourite amongst European and British royalty – and a light powder-blue blouse by Danish designer Jesper Høvring.

Queen Mary’s style was simple and understated during an architectural tour along the Oslo waterfront. The monarch wore a collarless button-down by Italian shirting brand Baguette, complemented by a pleated wraparound navy skirt. Her Gucci sunglasses, Chanel ballerinas, and Chloé crossbody bag enhanced the elegance of the ensemble.

Queen Mary and King Frederik then retreated to the Royal Yacht Dannebrog, before remerging for the Gala Banquet hosted by the Norwegian royal couple. Queen Mary wore a bespoke lavender gown by Danish designer Birgit Hallstein that keen followers of royal fashion will recall her wearing at the Stockholm wedding of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia in 2015. Subtle amendments were made for its latest outing: the appliqué embroidery was removed from the skirt and delicate swathes of matching sheer fabric were added across the neckline and sleeves. Grey satin Manolo Blahnik Hangisi 105 pumps and a suite of pearl and diamond jewellery – including the Danish Pearl Poiré tiara – finished the look.

Queen Mary was a vision of easy elegance while visiting MiNaLab, an open laboratory for students and researchers that forms part of the University of Oslo. The monarch paired her favourite wide-leg Chloé trousers with a crisp white shirt, an Anya Hindmarch Mortimer bag, and Malone Souliers mules. Note, too, her gold necklace, designed by Copenhagen-based jewellery label Halberstadt and featuring an “F” for Frederik.

For the Danish royal cohort’s arrival in Oslo, Queen Mary was decked out in nautical blue and white tones to meet King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway. Queen Mary’s entire look was made up of rewears, from the white Ralph Lauren wool jacket to the Erdem printed jacquard midi-skirt and Max Mara Whitney bag. Her pearl and diamond earrings, wreathed with sapphires and rubies, were gifted to the monarch by Queen Margrethe II.

The Danish state visit to Stockholm
Queen Mary’s patriotic penchant for creations by Danish designer Mark Kenly Domino Tan is no secret, and this bespoke white tweed dress – which she wore on the first day of the Stockholm visit for the welcoming ceremony – is one that we’ve previously seen on rotation in her wardrobe.

Arriving aboard the Royal Yacht Dannebrog to the sound of cannons from Kastellholmen and Skeppsholmen, the newly crowned monarch layered up for the crisp late morning air with a navy shawl, complementing her matching bow-embellished hat by Jane Taylor, Gianvito Rossi pumps, and a clutch by Danish brand Quidam. Queen Mary later switched out her headwear for the Nell barrette by the royal favourite Ellen Hunter, while her blue brooch – an heirloom from her mother-in-law Queen Margrethe – was a mainstay throughout the day.
