Frederick and Mary of Denmark They have released an official portrait after their proclamation as kings last January. A photograph together and the respective individual ones that mark the beginning of his reign with many historical symbols. From the chosen room to your position, passing, of course, through the impressive emerald tiara worn by the Queen.
Mary from Denmark has worn everything: a dress velvet and green guipure lace with the most impressive jewels from the Danish collection. In particular, it carries the emerald set that only queens can wear and that cannot leave the country. The tiara, made of silver, diamonds and emeralds in 1840 for the celebration of the silver wedding anniversary of Christian VIII.
She has a matching choker, earrings and a brooch, although she does not wear the latter in the images. Coincidentally, the last time this set, which has 67 emeralds and 2,650 diamonds, was seen in public was during the gala dinner that Queen Margarita offered on the occasion of the state visit of Kings Felipe and Letiziain November of last year.
The first portrait of Felipe and Letizia as kings
The portrait of Federico y Mary It is striking because the couple has made an ode to opulence that has little to do with the first photograph of Don Felipe and Doña Letizia. It arrived in 2020, five years after its proclamation like Kings, and they have not been repeated.
Those photos, published in February 2020, were taken by the portraitist Castro Stele, famous for its use of natural light. They included gala portraits like those of their counterparts in Denmark, but also others with family and with more stylish styles. bussiness casual. The style that Queen Letizia wore was not new at all: she wore the same Carolina Herrera dress which he had worn in Japan to attend the ceremony for Naruhito’s accession to the throne.
Regarding the jewels, she wore the same ones as on that occasion, which are some of the most important that the Spanish crown has. That is, the lis tiaralos diamond earrings and the Cartier twin braceletsthe pieces that he has worn on the most occasions.
The similarities and differences
Taken, as in the case of the Danes, in the Royal Palace of their capital, the Spanish ones are more institutional as they are taken from so far away. Those of Federico y Mary They look closer because it is a medium plane.
Guillermo and Máxima of Holland, who in 2013 released their first portrait as kings, opted for a framing similar to that of Don Felipe and Doña Letizia. In your case, It was also a more discreet photograph, even more than the Spanish one. Although the queen of the Netherlands is one of the royals who can boast in Europe of having an impressive collection of jewelry to show off. And despite the fact that his personality and personal style have always been characterized by surprising bets.
They also have in common the military dress of both Kings and that, in both cases, the Queen is slightly ahead of her husband. This was not the case with William, since he is not the head of the Dutch Armed Forces. The postures are also notable in all three cases. Federico y Mary They appear completely in front and it is she who puts her hand in front. The king of the Netherlands and his wife appear completely equal. And, finally, in the case of Felipe and Letizia the posture is more affectionate. Although they do not appear to be touching, the Spaniards seem to be giving each other a discreet half-hug due to their diagonal positions.
