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...

Now it makes sense why the two other women’s magazines here in Australia did not make much fuss about Mary becoming Queen. The February issue of “big sister” publication “The Australian Women’s Weekly” … which only comes out monthly … has been given to the Danish happenings. All three...

Did you see the friends of Mary’s mother got together Izzie … that was a nice thing that got a bit of coverage. Yes, the mags are for those not on the internet CrownPrincessJava, my mother buys them to help with her insomnia. :lol: I’m just surprised it wasn’t bigger for them to put out...

Yes, I have to agree with what you’re saying Curryong. I did a big bit on these magazines when Christian and Chiara were a hot topic. But, seeing how much they both cover the Royals … our Royals … I can’t believe they didn’t mine this for all it’s worth this week. No other Australian is ever...

I think we must have passed peak interest in “our” Mary becoming a Queen down here in Oz, at least for the time being. The two weekly women’s magazines came out today with their Proclamation/Coronation issues, and one didn’t even have a headline about it on their cover, let alone a photo. In...

Tourism Tasmania have taken the opportunity to promote Tassie to both mainlanders and Danes with newspaper ads and a congratulations video … https://mumbrella.com.au/tourism-tasmania-sends-well-wishes-to-denmarks-new-tassie-born-queen-812238

One of the Australian breakfast tv shows has interviewed the designer of Queen Mary’s proclamation event dress …

Daily Mail has live video at the top of this article … (the top video, after a couple of ads)...

Australian breakfast tv show “Today” with an interview with the former manager of the Slip Inn … who was there the night Mary met Frederik … Australian tv channel 10 with a live cross to Copenhagen … Australia’s ABC tv reporting from Copenhagen … Australian tv channel 7, on the...
