Queen Mary of Denmark knows how to get into the holiday spirit.
While volunteering at a food shelter in Copenhagen this week, the fashionable Danish queen wore a festive snowflake cashmere sweater from MaxMara. She layered it over a grey long-sleeve shirt, and paired it with wide-legged grey trousers.

The low-key Christmas outfit wasn't Queen Mary's only foray into holiday dressing this winter. Today, her charity, Queen Mary's Foundation, released a new portrait of the queen with a holiday message. In the photograph, she wears a red dress and poses in front of a Christmas tree. (Featured on the Danish royal family's Christmas tree, though not visible in this photo, is a David Bowie ornament!)
"Every year is special. They contain their own impacts, events and memories. But 2024 in particular will leave a clear mark on my memory," she wrote, a nod to the fact that she became queen this year after her mother-in-law, Queen Margrethe, abdicated in January. "This year, the Mary Foundation changed its name to the Mary Foundation - H.M. Queen Mary's Foundation. But our work continued unchanged, and we are still fighting for the same purpose through our three areas of focus: Bullying & Well-being, Loneliness and Violence in the Family."
Queen Mary continued, "At the Mary Foundation, we always strive for more knowledge, effective efforts and new ways to make a difference for those who are outside the community. I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who works with us so that more people have a place in the community and experience belonging. It is precisely in partnerships and collaboration that we use each other best and can make the biggest difference for all those who deserve it."
She concluded, "Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a hopeful New Year!”
