Proving that you don’t look your age when you’re unproblematic, Queen Mary celebrated her 54th birthday despite looking at least a decade younger. The Danish royal family released a new portrait to mark the occasion, in celebration of The Mary Foundation. The Queen of Denmark looks professional and elegant in a bottle green suit, blush blouse, and delicate butterfly brooch in the portrait taken in March 2025 by Stine Heilmann.
Queen Mary of Denmark was born Mary Donaldson in Tasmania, Australia. She had an unconventional route to the royal throne, meeting her husband at an iconic Sydney bar called The Slip Inn during the 2000 Sydney Olympics. She assumed the role as Crown Princess, and later Queen, with a huge amount of public approval and affection, and has been hailed as a thoroughly modern example of a queen.
