Queen Mary of Denmark is always a pro at stylishly put together royal looks, and today was no exception as the queen joined her husband King Frederik for the ceremonial opening of the Folketinget, the Danish parliament.<\/p>\n

Mary looked smart in an oh-so-autumnal burgundy skirt suit ensemble. The long-sleeved crew neck top featured a demurely belted waist and a soft peplum hem, while the column-style skirt brushed just above her ankles. To complete the monochrome look, Mary color-matched a pair of pumps and a padded headband to keep her hair slicked back. She accented the look with a vintage turquoise and red Dior brooch reportedly<\/a> dating back to 1964, and a black handbag.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s appearance comes a week after the king and queen traveled to Mary\u2019s native Tasmania for a private memorial service<\/a> in honor of her father, John Donaldson. A former professor of applied mathematics, the Scotish-born Donaldson died in Hobart on April 11<\/a> at the age of 84. According to palace announcements at the time, he had been in declining health for some time, and the queen had traveled to visit him just a few weeks prior to his passing.<\/p>\n

Born and raised in Tasmania before moving to Denmark to marry then-Crown Prince Frederik in 2004, Mary shared a personal statement in the wake of her father’s death<\/a>. \u201cMy heart is heavy and my thoughts are grey,\u201d she wrote at the time. \u201cMy beloved father has passed away. But I know that when the grief settles, the memories will brighten my day, and what will remain strongest is love and gratitude for everything he gave me and taught me.\u201d<\/p>\n
