Queen Margrethe II hosted the third or grand new year's court for the armed forces and emergency agencies officers, the representatives of the royal patronages and national organisations, at Christiansborg Slot.

As usual, the queen and prince were driven in Christian VIII's gilded coach from 1840 to Christiansborg accompanied by the Guard Hussars.

It was the first time Mary was invited to attend this third new year's court.

She carried a new clutch by Bottege Veneta and wore a new gala skirt by Jayson Brunsdon.

The ceremony started with a speech by the most senior ambassador, to which the queen responded with a few words of her own.

Once the court was over, in the afternoon, Mary changed into her fur coat and went out for a spot of shopping in the streets of Copenhagen.

After getting a coffee to go at Joe & The Juice (owned by their friend Johan Wedell-Wedellsborg), Mary left Frederik to take a look inside the high end interior shop Rue Verte on the Grønnegade.

She came across Morten Fabricius, night club owner and friend of Fred & Mary's.

Later that day Mary was spotted shopping at Birger Christensen on Strøget in the company of her stylists, Anja Alajdi and Søren Heedegaard.
