The Danish royal family has unveiled new portraits showcasing King Frederik and Queen Mary adorned in regalia.
The royal household released three official gala portraits on 25 April, featuring a joint image of the couple alongside two solo photographs.
The photos, taken by Steen Evald in the Green Room in The Royal Reception Rooms at Christiansborg Palace, were released to signify the transition of power on 14 January, when Queen Margrethe acceded the throne to King Frederik.

In the photographs, the King wears a full Navy dress uniform, whereas the Queen is elegantly dressed in a deep green gown featuring lace sleeves. Queen Mary wears the crown jewels, which include an exquisite emerald set consisting of a tiara, necklace, earrings, and a large brooch, for the first time.
"The portrait shows Their Majesties in gala with the Order of the Elephant on chains, and the portrait can henceforth be seen hung in, among other places, state institutions, including at Danish embassies and consulates around the world and on Danish vessels," reads a caption alongside the picture on the official Instagram account.
"The King and The Queen have thus had their portrait made at the historic palace in Copenhagen where successive kings and queens have stayed over time."
