Crown Princess Mary proved she still knows how to party with the royal as she celebrated her eldest son Christian’s 18th birthday in style at Christiansborg Palace on Saturday.
Mary was dressed in a sparkling floor-length black dress for the occasion, completing the look with an elegant updo, her wedding day diamond tiara and royal blue sash.
But her formal look didn’t stop her from getting involved when Queen Margrethe revealed her grandson’s birthday surprise: a private rock concert in a palace.
The Tasmanian-born princess and mother-of-four clapped enthusiastically and smiled on stage where famous Danish rock star Benjamin Hav was performing with his band The Family.
The 51-year-old’s family followed her lead and seemed equally impressed by the surprise performance as she performed her best moves on the dance floor.
Crown Princess Mary proved she still knows how to party – as she celebrated her eldest son Christian’s 18th birthday at Christiansborg Palace on Saturday.
