Denmark’s Queen Mary looked somber as she joined her husband King Frederik for Flag Day in Copenhagen today.
The 52-year-old princess appeared solemn on the emotional day of honouring people who have been sent on mission by Denmark.
Mary went to the military headquarters in Kastellet, where she and her husband took part in the traditional wreath-laying ceremony for Danish soldiers abroad.
She wore a simple yet elegant black dress with a square neckline and quarter-length puffed sleeves and pink strappy heels.
Mary paired it with a sophisticated necklace of large pearls and matching earrings, as well as a bracelet. She also opted to wear her classic gold Cartier Love bracelets.
