Medal of Honor dinner for the Armed Forces, the Air Force and the National Emergency Management Agency


11 March 2024

Monday evening, King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted the very special Medal of Honor dinner with attendance from the Armed Forces, the Air Force and the National Emergency Management Agency. 

The prestiges dinner took place at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg. Queen Margrethe was also present at the dinner.

This is not their first Medal of Honor dinner, but it is indeed the first as hosts as King and Queen of Denmark.

The Medal of Honor dinner for the Armed Forced, the Air Force and the National Emergency Management Agency was founded by King Frederik IX in 1953. March 11 was his birthday. Originally, King Christian VII founded the first Medal of Honor dinner for the Navy in 1801.



Mary was first wearing the bespoke dress and jacket in 2019. It is the female of the Danish Defense's gala uniform. She wore it beautifully! Just like in 2021 and 2023. Love that women have got their very own uniform.

Her stunning hairstyle caught my eye. I adore it when she is wearing updo's like these. So elegant and romatic. Wish we had a better photo to see the details more clearly.

Mary accessorized the outfit with huge outstanding diamond earrings once purchased at an Bruun Rasmussen auction. She first wore them a couple of years ago. Since then, she has loved wearing them for a number of different occasions.

Her necklaces are from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. A closer look revealed diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen surrounding a rather large diamond ring - which I have never been able to identify.

My guess is that she styled her look with black pumps.
