I’m very fond of this church, the carved wood everywhere, a ship hanging from the ceiling, the anchor in the garden, situated right on a canal. I’ve been in three churches in Copenhagen and this is the one that made the most impression on me. The so-called Marble Church near the Amalienborg...

How wonderful tommy100. I’ve been to Chester, and as an outsider was floored by its unique beauty with all those amazing buildings. I would have done the selfies thing with the floral arrangements too.

Where these horses normally live … would be different horses now, I took these photos in 2014. You may have seen photos of Mary riding here at different times. If you zoom in you can pick out Tivoli in the background. From the tower of Christiansborg, ground level and looking back at the tower...

That’s what I thought Muhler. Some of what I’ve seen here in Sydney seems over the top. Aside from the ceremonial aspect … many well-dressed motorcycle outriders etc for a bit of pomp … continual overhead helicopters, continual rubber-duckies zooming up and down in front of Admiralty House with...

I wonder what affect the physical assault on the Danish Prime Minister while out and about in Copenhagen … on Friday evening … may have on the Royal Family. When Mary and Frederik were here in Sydney the security around them was quite astounding. Even the removal of the metallic rubbish bins in...

I couldn’t understand why I had come across so many photos of Isabella … photos and videos that look to be private, dancing, drinking, dressing-up, doing her makeup, on holiday etc … when looking for old photos of her mother PhillyMonarchist. (Also, many photos of other young Royals that look to...

Isabella. https://www.matrixpictures.com.au/image?&_bqG=637&_bqH=eJzzcTTwqoqPT_eKNEk3D3RPLM7MLnIqKnVOzfK1MjSwMLcAkgYgDCQ9412CnW0DijLzklOLi7V9E4sq1TzjQ4Ndg.I9XWxDQWrCsvyLQx1LgnMDItXiHZ1DbItTE4uSMwBSlh_i&GI_ID=...

Josephine, Mary, Isabella. https://www.matrixpictures.com.au/image?&_bqG=419&_bqH=eJwzTo13cnaMzDIMDbVI9IlIrSrJCskIi_A18ky2MjSwMLcAkgYgDCQ9412CnW0DijLzklOLi7VzE4sq1TzjQ4Ndg.I9XWxDQWrCsvyLQx1LgnMDItXiHZ1DbItTE4uSMwA1Ax.X&GI_ID=...

I’m afraid it’s not just the Daily Mail Muhler, Izzie, Sister Morphine, polyesco. A few weeks ago Mary hit 100 days of being Queen, so there was some coverage of her here in Australia. The former editor of The Australian Womens’ Weekly, Juliet Rieden, was interviewed on TV. She has spent time...

When I saw the photo of Queen Mary sitting with the Carmen Curlers ladies, I thought, well okay, there are lots of things going on around the actual event. People in costume, groups protesting, lots of side action. I didn’t know these originated Denmark back in the 1960s, and the factory was in...

They look like very good hats Curryong. Being able to pack them and have them stay in shape is pretty amazing. I forgot to also say that the hats have an internal structure to adjust to the wearer’s head, so no fear of blowing off. The company’s Instagram Account has posted photos of Mary...

Nice to see Queen Mary wearing an Australian brand in Oslo. (And also on her time off.) “Canopy Bay” hats use ultraviolet protection factor 50plus material … and keep their shape when packed for travel. A well-known Australian personality, Deborah Hutton, is behind the label … with a Danish born...

Yes Muhler, not an unknown temperature here, even in Sydney, but especially for Tasmanians. My sister’s house gets so cold down there, you can see your breath if you move to an unheated room. Would be brisk on the decks of the Dannebrog … a vessel underway across a large expanse of water … but...

The Dannebrog has her AIS on again … since departing Hornbaek … so it’s possible to follow along. Currently making about 11 knots and a chilly 13 degrees temperature. https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=4537661 https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:10.9/centery:57.9/zoom:7

Particular thanks to LadyFinn. Especially great to watch the live coverage all the way down here in Australia … as it happened! Much appreciated.

This article has a photo of Mary’s new hairdresser disembarking the Royal yacht Frelinghighness. I don’t know Danish, but it seems the young man is the new hairdresser … “nye frisor” … at least to me...

Thanks Kingen … not surprised they have a police vessel escort. When the family has been staying on boats here in Sydney there is always a police vessel nearby, though I think this gives away their location more than if they were on their own. (To photographers I mean.) Plenty of flash vessels...

Both Marine Traffic and Vessel Finder now have Dannebrog turned and heading towards the Swedish Coast … at 4.30am local time. Maybe it will pull in somewhere for the couple if they haven’t been aboard overnight.

This 20 minute YouTube was filmed by someone at the arrival at Helsingor and shows how it is to be in the crowd, as opposed to the official photos and videos. I watched it on my TV which gives a better idea of the experience. A very large crowd, and very windy day. At least the flags look great...

Thanks for this Kingen. All the vessel tracking websites now have the Royal ship back out at sea … leaving at 6.41pm local time and making 7 knots. She seems to be heading away from the coast. Maybe the couple are onboard and she needs to “waste” some time overnight and amble a bit before...

Stockholm is one of the few cities that it is truly wonderful to arrive at by sea … such as Hong Kong, Istanbul, Sydney. Most coastal cities you berth at a working/commercial port … which can be interesting … but these few places you actually sail into the heart of, and Stockholm is like that. A...

The castle at Helsingor is a fantastic sight from the water. The outline of the building is so strong and dominant, that even from a long distance it is easy to see against the sea and sky. Here are some of the photos I once took when sailing past, and luckily wonderful weather … and no...

This is a devastating loss. I adored this when I was in Copenhagen and took many photos. I loved how the spire was formed by the dragons twisting their tails together upwards. Here are some of my shots … taken from the street and from the tower of Christiansborg Palace. More photos. Some more...

I was expecting something from Mary. While Charles and Camilla, and William and Kate, have sent condolences, this took place in Mary’s old suburb and local shopping centre … more personal...

A very nice keepsake Curryong. The full-page photos look great and the closeups of the Crown Jewels are probably the best chance to have a proper look at those beautiful pieces. I won’t be surprised to see Mary do another exclusive with the magazine in the future. I bought the hardcover...
