The Danish royals appeared to be in high spirits as they arrived at the opening of the Danish Parliament at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen earlier today.

Queen Margrethe, 83, put on an elegant display in a royal blue suit, complete with an equally sophisticated fascinator.

Upon her arrival, the Danish monarch greeted her eldest son, Crown Prince Frederik, with a warm hug and a kiss.

The heir to the throne, 55, looked dapper in a black suit, which he matched with a crisp white shirt.

Meanwhile, Frederik’s wife, Crown Princess Mary, looked typically stylish in a cream ensemble as she stepped onto the red carpet.

The mother-of-four, 51, wowed in a chic cream midi dress, which she paired with a lavish black hat.

Princess Mary styled her brunette locks in soft curls, and her glam makeup enhanced her flawless complexion.

Queen Margrethe looked thrilled with the arrival of her younger sister, Princess Benedikte of Denmark.

The monarch welcomed her sibling, 79, with open arms and a beaming smile. 

Benedikte, the second daughter and child of King Frederick IX and Queen Ingrid of Denmark, opted for a purple look for the event.

The royal looked radiant in a mid-length purple coat, which she paired with a cream blouse and a sleek pencil skirt.

The family took to the Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen to mark the opening of the Danish Parliament, as the first Tuesday in October is the first day of a new parliament and new year in Denmark.

The event day begins with prayers at the Christiansborg Palace Church before the royal’s arrival.

Later, the longest-serving member inaugurates the sitting in the Parliament Chamber.

The Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, and her husband, Bo Tengberg, were also in attendance.

Mette Fredriksen, 45, the youngest prime minister in Danish history, donned a chic red dress while arriving hand in hand with her husband.

Bon Tengberg looked dapper in a navy suit, which she paired with a crisp white shirt and crimson tie, following the colours of the Danish flag.

Princess Benedikte opted for a sophisticated purple coat and matching pumps for the annual event 

It comes after Princess Mary proved once again that she’s a thrifty royal by wearing a beautiful strapless floral gown to King Carl Gustaf’s Golden Jubilee in Stockholm last month.

The Danish Crown Princess stunned in floor-length black and white floral print dress by Danish designer Lasse Spangenberg.

She arrived for the festivities alongside Crown Prince Frederik, 55, and Queen Margrethe of Denmark.

The Australian-born royal has donned the gorgeous gown twice before – once on September 6, 2017 hosting a dinner celebrating the Mary Foundation’s 10th anniversary and again on August 8, 2018 at a gala dinner hosted by Queen Margrethe.  

For the occasion she refreshed the recycled look with blue and silver jewellery, dainty hair clip, black belt, black clutch bag and a thin black neck scarf that draped to the back of the dress.

Her hair was waved and fingernails were painted red, while Prince Fredrick wore a navy suit and bow tie.

The last time Princess Mary wore the dress in 2018 it had black piece of fabric spanning from the chest, across her right shoulder and onto her back.

She and Prince Fredrik wore their blue royal sash to symbolise their role in the Danish Royal Family.

The jubilee was four days of celebration that culminate with a military parade through the capital.

The royal family as a whole put on a glittering display as they arrived at the event.
