For the special occasion, the Danish royal, 84, donned a smart embroidered dress which she paired with a fluffy longline coat, a slinky scarf and kitten heels. As for accessories, she spruced up her look with a statement beaded necklace in shades of marine blue and gold, a pair of oversized gold earrings and a bold, blue suede bag.

Following the event, the Danish royal family’s official Instagram account shared a carousel of charming pictures, taken by Hanne Juul, including a joyous picture of Queen Margrethe receiving a bunch of beautiful flowers.
The caption read: “The Royal Nordic Old Writing Society was founded in 1825 and can therefore mark its 200th anniversary this year. The company is working to support and spread awareness of Denmark and the rest of the Nordic cultural history in ancient and medieval ages.
“This evening, the anniversary was marked with a series of lectures in the Festival Hall at the National Museum, where Her Majesty Queen Margrethe was the guest of honour.”
Royal fans raced to the comments section to share sweet messages, with one writing: “Beautiful Queen!!!” while a second chimed in: “Beautiful Queen beautiful photos!” and a third remarked: “Queen Margrethe a true royal icon for Europe.”
