The Danish Royal Family celebrated one of the most important events on their royal calendar on New Year’s Day with a glittering gala which means they start every January decked in diamonds and with plenty of sparkle.
Held on 1 January each year, the Danish monarch welcomes the government, the speaker, the royal court, and Danish diplomats to Amalienborg Palace for a formal dinner. And the first New Year's banquet of King Frederik and Queen Mary's reign had more than enough sparkle!
Denmark’s Crown Jewels
Queen Mary wore the tiara and earrings from the Danish Emerald Parure. The stunning floral tiara dates back to the 1840s and features 67 emeralds and an impressive 2,650 diamonds. The beautiful bow-style earrings have two square emeralds, two rectangular emeralds, and an emerald drop, as well as several round diamonds.
The Queen of Denmark also wore the Collar and the Star of the Order the Elephant, the oldest Danish chivalric order, and King Frederik X's Portrait Order, as well as the badge of the Order of the Dannebrog, a chivalric order given for civil and military service.
