The star of the show was her enormous navy blue hat which elevated the outfit to the next level. To cater for this, she wore her hair down - styled in bouncy waves.

Later in the day, Mary made a few adjustments to her look to adapt to the stormy weather. She swapped out her designer heels for designer flats - the 'Rope And White Canvas Cap Toe Ballet Flats from Prada, to be exact. She also slipped a Harris Wharf trench coat on for extra warmth and protection from the rain.

Queen Mary wore a dress owned by Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden

As has been the routine on the summer tour, the royals hosted an evening reception where the queen changed into an elegant dress.

For day four, Mary debuted the 'Claudia Twisted-Neck Floral Midi Dress' from Saloni. The white garment featured a beautiful floral design with long sleeves and a tapered waist. 

The royal wore her loose curls in a side part with a section of hair twisted behind one ear to frame her face effortlessly.

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden may have inspired her Danish counterpart as she wore the exact dress when on the Royal Yacht Dannebrog during Mary and Frederik's two-day official state visit to Sweden in May.
