New Year's reception at Christiansborg
07 January 2025
King Frederik and Queen Mary were driven from Amalienborg to Christiansborg in the historical Gold Coach escorted by the Guard Hussar Regiment's Mounted Squadron.
They were about to host the very last New Year's reception for Officers from the Defence and the Danish Emergency Management Agency, national organisations and royal patronages.
Love that Mary is rewearing her old Jule Fagerholt creation. She first wore it in 2008 at another New Year's reception at Amalienborg. Back then it came with a different top and a jacket. Even thought it looks beautiful today I still misses the matching top and jacket.
The fine diamond brooch dates back to around 1840 - possibly made for Queen Josefina of Sweden. Her grand daughter Crown Princess Lovisa of Denmark inherited them. They are now part of the Danish Royal Property Trust stored at Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen.
The earrings comes with a history too. Read more about the earrings here. Apparently Mary chose to mix and match parts of two different earrings from the same parure.
She also styled her outfit with a beloved grey suede BOSS clutch and magnificent Gianvito Rossi pumps.

New Year's reception at Amalienborg & Christiansborg
06 January 2025
On Thursday King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted their very first New Year's Even Banquet at Amalienborg.
January 6th the couple then hosted their first New Year's reception for the Justice of the Surpreme Court and Officer Corps of the Royal Life Guard. The Guard of Hussar Regiment were also invited to the reception at Christian VII's Palace at Amalienborg.
Around the couple hosted yet another reception for the Diplomatic Corps at Christiansborg.
Mary looked beautiful in her reused Teri Jon by Rickie Freeman dress! Perfect for the occasion and its wintery vibe is just great. She first wore the dress at an official dinner in Katuaq July 2024. The the New Year's reception Mary added a white turtleneck and long white gloves. I kinda like that. What about you? Think it made the dress even more glamourous.
Mary embraced the style with a stunning hairdo! Such an elegant choice. Made the incredible diamond earrings stand out. The once belonged to Anne of Orange. Another piece of history is the golden diamond bracelet. It is Queen Louise's engagement bracelet. LOVE that she is wearing all these historical pieces of jewellery. Jewellery we haven't seen for years.
The bracelet can also be worn as a brooch and the earrings can go as pendants on a necklace. She also wore a fine clutch and matching suede Gianvito Rossi pumps.

New royal coat of arms and royal flags
The royal coat of arms
On January 1st the court revealed the King's new royal coat of arms. A royal coat of arms is the King's personal symbol and a state symbol. They are known in Danish history around the time of 1194.
King Frederik wished to create a contemporary royal coat of arms that both reflects the Commonwealth and takes into account history and heraldic tradition. He hereby changed the former coat of arms which was stated in 1972.
The royal flags
Changing the royal coat of arms comes with an update of the royal flags. The King's red and white flag is now decorated with the new coat of arms.
Queen Mary also has her own royal flag now. Hers are decorated with her husband's coat of arms next to her own. Mary's coat of arms consists of symbols referring both to her Scottish and Australian heritage along with a golden star symbolising femininity and beauty.
With his new title Crown Prince Christians has also got his own royal flag. It is decorated with his father's coat of arms and a unique crown symbolising the title as Crown Prince.
