Queen Mary of Denmark has delighted royal fans in Germany as she stepped out in a bold and stylish ensemble.

The 52-year-old royal wore burnt orange tailored trousers, a burgundy blazer, and a $340 floral blouse by ME+EM as she attended the Schleswig-Holstein state government building in Kiel.

The Tasmanian-born royal greeted an enthusiastic crowd of fans who waved Danish flags while accepting a bouquet of German camomile, thistles, rose hip and red berries.

King Frederik looked sharp beside her in a navy pinstripe suit, paired with a crisp light blue shirt, polished black shoes, and an amber-patterned tie.

The visit of Schleswig-Holstein, home to a Danish ethnic minority, will mark the end of the two-day visit of the Danish Royal couple to Germany.

The royals also attended a groundbreaking ceremony for the new construction project of Danevirke Museum near Flensburg, Germany.

Mary and Frederik, 56, are also set to sail on an electric ferry to attend an energy conference and visit Flensborghus, the centre for Danish culture.

It was built in 1725 with permission from King Frederik IV and the bricks come from ruins of Duborg Castle, which was built by Queen Margrethe I back in the 15th century.

As part of their two-day visit, the royal couple will conclude their trip at Flensborghus, the hub of Danish association activities in South Schleswig, where they’ll take part in a community chorus led by a local Danish school.

The short two-day trip to Germany is the Danish King and Queen’s first official visit to the country since their accession in January this year.

LADY IN RED: QUEEN MARY STUNS AT LAVISH STATE DINNER

When Queen Mary first arrived with husband King Frederik, she stunned on the red carpet in Berlin, wearing a dramatic scarlet gown with a surprisingly high leg slit.

The Danish royals joined the Crown Prince and Princess of Norway and the Crown Prince and Princess of Sweden at a state dinner at Belevue Palace in Germany – the official residence of the country’s president – marking the 25th anniversary of the Nordic embassies.

The Australian-born Queen wouldn’t have looked amiss in Hollywood, pairing her dress with diamond drop earrings, a matching bracelet, and a pearl-studded clutch.

Earlier in the day, as the German President and First Lady welcomed the Danish royals, the 52-year-old Queen again turned heads with a chic sky blue ensemble.

Mary donned a soft coat and matching blouse by Danish designer Jesper Hovring, pairing it with a blue-and-tan pencil skirt by Emilia Wickstead which retails for almost $A1800.

She completed the look with a headband, nude heels and clutch, and gold studs.

Meanwhile, King Frederik opted for a classic navy suit and blue tie.

The Nordic embassies share a building in Berlin known as the Pan Nordic Building or “Felleshus”, which was inaugurated in autumn 1999 by Frederik’s mother, Queen Margrethe II, who abdicated in January 2024 after 52 years on the throne.

Iceland’s new president Halla Tomasdottir was in attendance with husband Bjorn Skulason, alongside Finnish president Alexander Stubb and wife Suzanne Innes-Stubb.
