Queen Mary of Denmark radiated elegance as she attended a change of throne service today with her husband, King Frederick.
The newly appointed royal couple seemed happier than in recent weeks as they arrived at Aarhus Cathedral with their children: Crown Prince Christian, 18, Princess Elizabeth, 16, and twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, 13.
Tasmanian-born Mary, 51, stunned in a custom purple dress coat from Søren le Schmidt that was created for the coronation of King Charles III last May.
She protected herself from the snowy weather by wrapping herself in a cozy shawl and leather gloves, adding a pillbox hat and pumps to complete the look.
The mother of four introduced a touch of sparkle with Bruun Rasmussen diamond earrings, a 2022 auction purchase that she has worn on several occasions.

King Frederick, 55, ascended the throne last Sunday after his mother Margaret abdicated after 52 years as queen.
A celebratory portrait, photographed from inside Christiansborg Royal Palace in Copenhagen, was posted on the Danish Royal Family’s Instagram page earlier this week.
The image showed the King and Queen, 51, in all their finery, along with the couple’s four elegantly dressed children.
The scandal-laden prince took the crown and became king of Denmark on January 14, 2024, succeeding his 83-year-old mother’s phenomenal five-decade reign.

Margrethe’s decision to step down from the throne in honor of her eldest son surprised many, as it comes amid a controversial year for the royals, which has been plagued by stripped titles and salacious rumors.
It comes as a resurfaced interview revealed how Queen Mary almost never met then-Prince Frederik.
“The taxi came and I said, ‘Oh, okay last minute and I just got in.’
The interview was conducted in 2004, but was recently republished.
However, Mary and Frederik’s fairytale romance has come under scrutiny in recent weeks.
King Frederick has faced intense scrutiny since photographs emerged of the then-prince enjoying a night out with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova in Madrid last year.
The glamorous socialite strongly denied the allegations of a romantic tryst with Frederik, going so far as to call them “malicious.”
However, in the newly released image, the monarchs have shown no signs of sweat or adversity, and can be seen smiling excitedly at the camera.
