King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark Share New Royal Portrait Months After Taking the Throne

The new king took the throne after his mother, Margrethe, abdicated in January.

Today, a never-seen-before portrait of the new king, 55, and queen, 52, was revealed as their profile picture on the Danish Royal House's Instagram and Facebook was updated. Dressed in a velvet green gown, Queen Mary sparkles in an emerald tiara, necklace and large broach that are part of the Danish crown jewels. The photo is credited to Steen Evald on Facebook, the same photographer who took three other gala portraits in the Green Room at Christiansborg Palace that were revealed just a few days ago by Danish Royal House courtiers.
