“It is not the first time that we have seen Mary dressing with sustainability at the forefront,” says Cronan.
Mary paired the robe with a Star of the Order of the Elephant brooch (Denmark’s most distinguished order) and an Ole Lynggaard leaves hairpiece in lieu of a tiara.
During a go to to the Australian War Memorial on Monday, the queen wore a navy costume with bow detailing by Venezuelan American designer Carolina Herrera, and an identical fascinator. Pinned to her chest was the Connaught sapphire brooch, a priceless heirloom that has been within the Danish household because it was gifted to Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia in 1879 as a marriage current.
Later within the week, the couple will go to Melbourne and Hobart.
