The upcoming ceremony at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen will see Princess Mary don Danish heirlooms, opting for less lavish jewelry, according to Tobias Kormind, managing director at a prominent jewelry retailer, speaking to GB News. This approach aligns with Crown Prince Frederik's reputation for being down-to-earth.
Kormind suggested that Mary's choices will likely focus less on the pomp and ceremony associated with royalty, and more on understated elegance. As the custodian of the Danish Crown Jewels and the family's Danish Royal Property Trust, Mary may wear tiaras, including the Pearl Poiré Tiara, often worn by her mother-in-law for significant events.
The contrast in approach is highlighted by the opulent gown and jewelry choices made by Kate Middleton during King Charles' coronation in May 2023. Princess Mary's more modest choices are seen as a departure from such extravagance.
The ceremony on Sunday will mark Princess Mary's ascension to Queen Consort as Queen Margrethe steps down, and a proclamation of the new reign will be made by Denmark's Prime Minister.
