Crown Princess Mary of Denmark is amongst the first of the foreign royals to arrive at Buckingham Palace for the royal family's pre-coronation reception, taking place ahead of the official coronation ceremony on Saturday 6 May.
The Danish Princess looked the epitome of elegance in an Andrew GN midi dress which featured romantic puffed sleeves and a gem-embellished belt.

Crown Princess Mary styled her brunette locks in loose waves which perfectly framed her face, opting for a soft glam makeup look consisting of a touch of rosy blush, a delicate smokey eye and a pink lip with a touch of shine.

It was confirmed that Denmark's monarch, Queen Margrethe, 82, would not be attending the coronation, as she is currently recovering from back surgery that she underwent in February.

The Coronation Crowns
St Edward's Crown

The glittering crown – crafted by crown jeweller Robert Viner – features a dazzling array of rubies, sapphires, rubies, garnets, topazes, amethysts, tourmalines and aquamarines.
The Imperial State Crown

Created in 1937, the regal crown – which is based on earlier crowns dating back to the 17th Century – was designed for the coronation of King George VI. Weighing over 1kg, the golden crown is set with over 3,000 diamonds and a plethora of precious stones including sapphires, emeralds and rubies. Elsewhere, the crown is adorned with symbols that represent the monarchy, such as a cross and a fleur-de-lis.
Queen Mary’s Crown

This is the first time a Queen Consort’s Crown has been reused since the 18th century. In a bid to pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, the Crown Jeweller has reset the piece for Camilla's coronation with the late monarch's Cullinan III, IV and V diamonds.
