On 14 January 2024, Queen Margrethe II abdicated the throne, her elder son, Crown Prince Frederik, became King Frederik X of Denmark. And his wife, Crown Princess of Mary, now is the Queen of Denmark.

Just moments after Queen Margrethe II’s abdication, the new King and Queen appeared on the balcony of Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen.

The Australian-born Danish Queen looked elegant and graceful in a simple white long-sleeved A-line midi dress with a mock shawl detail around the neck. Her dress was designed by Danish designer Soeren Le Schmidt and was sewn by Birgit Hallstein, the same seamstress who made her iconic Uffe Frank wedding gown.

According to the designer, the dress ‘is constructed with a separate waist belt that has a voluminous drape from the waist, around the neck, and over one shoulder.'

Dr Giselle Bastin, royal expert at Flinders University thinks that white is traditionally worn by women of the royal household at coronations to represent 'renewal and the purity of the Crown'.

The Queen worn red ruby earrings and a brooch from a priceless Ruby Set commissioned by Napoleon for the late Queen of Sweden in 1804 for his coronation, which made their way to the Danish royal family when the Swedish queen's daughter married the future King Frederik VIII in 1869.

Since her marriage to Prince Frederik in 2004, Mary has been the only one wearing the Ruby Set.

The combination of white of her dress and red of her jewelry is a sweet homage to the Danish flags of the same colours.

Mary Elizabeth Donaldson was born on 5 February 1972 in Tasmania, Australia, to Scottish parents.

In 2000 Mary met Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark at the Slip Inn, a pub in Sydney when the prince was visiting Australia during the 2000 Summer Olympics, and on 8 October 2003, she was engaged to the prince.
The next year, on 14 May 2004, Mary was married to Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark in Copenhagen Cathedral, thus becoming Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.

For her wedding, she wore a ivory silk duchess satin gown with scoop neckline and three quarter sleeves with open slit. The fitting bodice is paired with a full skirt lined with 31 metres of tulle edged in French Chantilly lace underneath. The full skirt is overlayed with panels opening from her hip, revealing 8 meters of Irish heirloom lace in the folds.

The lace was part of the original wedding gift to Crown Princess Margaret of Sweden, Fredrik’s great-grandmother.

On this special day, Mary paid homage to her mother(who passed away in 1997) as well as her homeland Australia.

She had her mother’s wedding ring sewn in the bodice of her wedding gown, close to her heart.

Mary’s bouquet, incorporating eucalyptus, roses and a sprig of myrtle, was sentimental tribute to her Australian root. After the wedding, she had the bouquet sent to Scotland to rest upon her mother’s grave.
