Each year, following the New Year Gala dinner, Queen Margrethe hosts several New Year Receptions with Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary in attendance.

On Wednesday, Queen Margrethe, Crown Prince Frederik, and Crown Princess Mary first attended a reception for Justices of the Supreme Court and the officer corps of the Royal Life Guard and the Guard Hussar Regiment at Christian VII's Palace.

Afterward, they attended a reception for chiefs of mission of the diplomatic corps and their spouses as well as side-accredited ambassadors and their spouses at Christiansborg Palace.

On Thursday, Queen Margrethe was driven from Amalienborg to Christianborg Palace in the Gold Coach, escorted by the Guard Hussar Regiment’s Mounted Squadron.

At Christianborg Palace, she was joined by Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary as she hosted a reception for Officers from the Defence and the Danish Emergency Management Agency, the I., II. and III. ranking classes as well as invited guests of major national organizations and royal patronages.

Queen Margrethe always wears the same gown for these receptions and she now wears a gown that was gifted to her by the Craftsmen's Association in Copenhagen for her Golden Jubilee in 2022. It now replaces the royal blue gown she received more than 25 years ago.

For the receptions on Wednesday, Crown Princess Mary wore her Henrik Hviid gown with her Jimmy Choo pumps and her Quidam clutch. She also wore her Bruun Rasmussen earrings and an Ellen Hunter hair comb (with thanks to Queen Mary Style).

For the reception on Wednesday, Crown Princess Mary wore her Jesper Hovring jacket and her Rachel Gilbert skirt with her Gianvito Rossi pumps and her Bottega Veneta clutch. She also wore her Rebekka Notkin bracelet and her Ole Lynggaard ring.
