Handmade by luxury Danish designer Julie Fagerholt, Mary has worn the frock on a number of occasions, including the 2023 reception for the Diplomatic Corps. Australian-born Mary, who has generally considered popular in Denmark - not least for her efforts in mastering the tricky language - wore a blue sash over her outfit.

Her chestnut tresses were pulled into a half-up, half-down do, showing off a pair of statement dangling diamond earrings. The 52-year-old looked fresh-faced with a natural make-up look, boasting dewy skin, with very subtle smoky brown eye-shadow, and a pink lip.
