Pre-wedding gala concert

13 May 2004

The culmination of the pre-wedding festivities was the gala concert at den konglige teater in Copenhagen. Mary appeared for the second time with the ruby parure in all its glory and in a red gown inspired on one of queen Ingrid's gowns. It was designed by Uffe Frank.

The glamorous evening was broadcast live on Danish TV2.

The gala concert was attended by the wedding guests, among them the Donaldson family and a great  number of royal guests. A dinner was offered to them afterwards by princess Benedikte on board the Dannebrog.
