On June 3, 2025, the grandeur of Frederik VIII’s Palace in Copenhagen was matched only by the significance of the occasion it hosted. As Denmark prepares to assume the rotating Presidency of the Council of the European Union on July 1, King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark opened their royal residence to a high-level diplomatic gathering—the Conference of Presidents of the European Parliament. This elegant meeting was not only a gesture of hospitality but a meaningful symbol of Denmark’s commitment to European cooperation, tradition, and unity. The Audience Chamber, steeped in royal history, became the stage for a modern European dialogue, where power, protocol, and polish converged seamlessly.
A Royal Reception with European Impact
Their Majesties welcomed Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, and leaders of the Parliament’s eight political groups. As the governing body responsible for shaping the Parliament’s agenda and political direction, the Conference of Presidents plays a crucial role in the EU’s legislative machinery. By hosting this prestigious group, the Danish Royal Family reaffirmed its role as both a ceremonial cornerstone and a diplomatic bridge—supporting Denmark’s strategic position within the European framework.
Queen Mary’s Elegant Statement
Known for her quiet confidence and impeccable style, Queen Mary of Denmark once again reminded the world of her ability to communicate diplomacy through dress. For the occasion, she wore a softly structured pleated dress by No.21, a refined choice in a neutral tone that balanced formality with feminine grace.
Her look was elevated by Gianvito Rossi nude pumps, a staple in her wardrobe that offers timeless sophistication, and Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings, reflecting Danish craftsmanship and understated glamour. The ensemble was graceful, polished, and diplomatic—befitting a Queen who understands that fashion, like foreign policy, is often about the details.
