The Danish queen wore jewelry from the royal archives, unseen for over 140 years, during a gala dinner in Helsinki celebrating Denmark-Finland relations.

  • Queen Mary of Denmark attended a state banquet in Helsinki on March 4, hosted by Finnish President Alexander Stubb and his spouse, Suzanne Innes-Stubb.
  • The queen wore a gold tiara originally made for Queen Caroline Amalie in the 1820s, featuring gemstones collected during a royal trip to Italy.
