Follow me and watch the royal gossip!
At the beginning of 2024, the Danish royal family announced a shocking news, the popular Margrethe II decided to abdicate and pass the throne to his eldest son, Crown Prince Frederick.
So, in the reluctance and regret of the people, Frederick succeeded to the throne as the new king of the Danish royal family, and his wife Princess Mary naturally became the new queen of the Danish royal family.
Recently, the Danish royal family released the first official photos of the new queen.
In this group of photos, King Frederick and Queen Mary are both smiling and in high spirits. In addition, it is remarkable that Queen Mary wore for the first time a set of extravagant emerald jewelry, including tiaras, earrings and necklaces.
Created in 1840, this jewel set was used to celebrate the silver wedding of Christian VIII and Queen Caroline Amalia.
Each piece of jewelry is set with diamonds and emeralds. The tiara is the most ornate, with diamond stands surrounding sparkling emeralds that resemble the foliage of a garden.
It is said that this set of emerald jewelry is exclusive to the queen and can only be worn by the Queen. Moreover, the set of jewels could not leave Danish territory yet, so it could not be seen at international events.
In addition to the tiara, earrings and necklace, the set also includes a large brooch, but this time Queen Mary did not wear it in the official photo, and it is probably a bit cumbersome to add it.
To match the emerald jewelry, Queen Mary opted for an emerald gown dress with a dark green velvet body for a luxurious look. The shoulders and arms are designed with tonal lace for a touch of fluidity.
This set of emerald jewels is truly magnificent, and was worn many times during the reign of Margrethe II, from the time of her youth and strength to the gray hair.
The last time Margrethe II wore this set of jewels was in November 2023, and now it has been less than half a year since the jewels were worn by her daughter-in-law, Queen Mary.
The royal family has changed from generation to generation, but these jewels have always been there, passing through history and witnessing the rise and fall of the royal family.
