This new year will be a memorable one for Princess Mary of Denmark, following the surprise announcement of her mother-in-law Queen Margrethe’s imminent abdication. It means that the Australian Princess, who married Denmark’s Crown Prince Frederik in 2004, will become Queen Consort later this month when her husband assumes the throne.
Frequently compared with Britain’s own Princess of Wales (like Kate, Mary is from a solidly middle-class background, has a considered approach to royal style, and is widely regarded as a major asset to the crown), Denmark’s future Queen Consort likes to champion local designers (she wore Uffe Frank on her wedding day), and after almost 20 years in the royal spotlight, is an adept diplomatic dresser and increasingly conscientious—the velvet Birgit Hallstein gown she wore to usher in 2024 in Copenhagen is the same one she’s worn for three previous New Year receptions.
As she prepares to become Queen Consort, revisit Princess Mary of Denmark’s royal style.
