Queen Mary (52) and King Frederik (55) are making their very first state visit this week, to neighboring Sweden.
When the royal couple disembarked from the royal ship “Dannebrog” in Stockholm on Monday, Queen Mary had a red spot on her left eye. The red spot was easy to see, as it was in the white field of Mary’s left eye.
– Withstands the test of time
Photographers and journalists have come from all over Europe to cover Queen Mary’s very first state visit, and the cameras have captured a number of beautiful images of both outfits and details.
Several bidding agencies have noticed Mary’s red spot in her eye, and the spot has caused a lot of attention in Mary’s home country of Denmark.
Dansk Se og Hør has been in contact with the royal house’s communications department to ask why Queen Mary has the red spot in her eye:
The royal house will neither comment nor elaborate on the stain, as it is a private matter, writes Se og Hør in Denmark.
Surprised: Appeared
The magazine has also been in contact with knowledgeable health personnel, who can reassure the Danes. Ophthalmologist Maria Voss Kyhn at Rigshospitalet tells the magazine that the spot corresponds to a “bruise”:
– The small blood vessels we have in the mucous membrane of the eye can burst spontaneously. It is completely harmless, and will disappear by itself, says Kyhn to Se og Hør.
Attention all over Europe
Queen Silvia was probably the first to notice Mary’s red eye, when she received Mary on the pier. perhaps not so surprising, because Silvia herself has been struggling with the same problem recently…
When the Finnish president Alexander Stubb (56) and his wife Suzanne Innes-Stubb (54) visited Sweden at the end of April, it was Queen Silvia who appeared with a bloodshot eye.
To Expressen, the Swedish court’s head of information, Margareta Thorgren, explained what had happened to Queen Silvia.
“The queen has been exposed to frostbite in the eye,” wrote Thorgren in an SMS to the newspaper.
Thorgren further explained that frostbite happens especially in colder months where there is a big difference between the temperature outside and inside…
– People go crazy
– Disfiguring eye
Caroline Vagle, royal house expert in Se og Hør, thought the queen should have been proud of carrying out the presidential visit.
– I think the queen is cool who carries it out despite a rather unsightly eye. She knows that it will become a topic of conversation, and that the pictures will be spread around the world, said Vagle.
