Queen Mary was a regal vision on Friday evening as she arrived at Christiansborg Palace for a banquet to honour the state visit of Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt.
King Frederik’s wife, 52, Â was seen at the royal residence wearing the new Rose Stone tiara, she has just helped to redesign from jewels from the Danish royal family’s collection.
Mary is the latest Danish royal to continue the tradition of reshaping crown jewels to suit the times, with the diamonds dating back to the 1840s and now set in a bandeau headpiece.
The Australian-born Danish royal wowed in a black embellished gown with a dramatic split at the back – first worn for a gala dinner in 2017.Â
She wore her brunette locks up in a low chignon and accessorised with a pair of floral-shaped diamond drop earrings.Â
The rose cut diamonds were worn by Queen Lovisa of Denmark in their original form as a belt in 1911, but Mary has transformed them into a modern and timeless tiara.
Earlier in the day, Queen Mary was seen wearing a dark green A-line style coat over a grey pleated dress, with a matching floral headband, as she and Frederik officially welcomed the President.Â
Queen Mary’s last tiara outing
Prior to the Egyptian state visit, Mary was seen wearing a shining tiara in October to attend the banquet at Christiansborg Palace, where the royal couple hosted the Icelandic President and her husband on their State Visit to Denmark.
The mother of four stunned in the Pearl Poire tiara which was perched atop her elegant updo to complement her midnight blue Jesper Hovring gown. The stunning headpiece was crafted from silver mixed with gold and features white diamonds that frame 18 large pear-shaped pearls.
It has been in the possession of the Danish royal family since 1923 and is estimated to be worth a staggering £8 million.
Her spellbinding jewels didn’t stop there as Mary wore an incredible diamond necklace which featured an Instagram video earlier this week as she transformed the twinkling diadem into the reimagined Rose Stone Tiara.
