I love seeing the Queen and Princess Mary in traditional Greenlandic clothing. I keep looking at the colorful poncho and wondering if it is crocheted or beaded or how it is made? Does anyone know? It's just fantastic!!
It's unfair that Frederik doesn't wear something as bright as Mary and Margrethe.
Thank you for the explanation about the clothing, Lilla! The beaded collars are very beautiful, and it is really amazing that they are only supported by thread, and not fabric. I cannot imagine the amount of hours that went into creating the collars. Is the design worn by the royal family specific to the royal family only? Did it originate from a native Greenlandic royal family, or was it created for the DRF?
Doesn't the man dancing with her look ecstatic. Lucky him.
It is the chairman of the Greenlandic Landsting, Josef Motzfeldt. And yes he looks as if he is having a great time and so does Mary. It is said that the Scandinavians, including the Danes, are very laid back - but it is nothing compaired with the Greenlanders
