The state dinner is part of Queen Mary and King Frederik’s two-day visit to Germany. Commencing on Monday 21 October, the couple were welcomed by President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Buedenbender in an official ceremony. They followed up with a trip to the Reichstag alongside Bundestag President, Baerbel Bas.
Upon their arrival, Mary stepped out in a powder blue coat by Jesper Høvring and a boucle skirt from Emilia Wickstead, which typically retails at £970. Polishing off her ensemble, she added a statement headband, nude stilettos and gold earrings. Coordinating with his wife, King Frederik donned a navy tailored suit and a cool blue tie.
The royal pair have shared some moving moments during their two-day visit, and are often captured laughing together.

Queen Mary and King Frederik, who recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary, met at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. The then 32-year-old Prince met Tasmanian-born Mary at the Slip Inn in the host city, but kept his royal identity secret from his future bride, only introducing himself as Fred.

“The first time that we met or shook hands, I did not know he was the crown prince of Denmark,” Mary revealed in 2003. “It was perhaps half an hour or so later that someone came up to me and said, ‘Do you know who these people are?'”
After exchanging numbers, Mary and Frederik embarked on a long-distance relationship, which became public knowledge in 2001. A year later, she decided to move from Australia to Denmark to be with Frederik, and by 2003 they were engaged.

King Frederik ascended to the throne at age 55, on January 14, 2024, succeeding his mother, Queen Margrethe II.
