Sombre Queen Mary of Denmark Pictured for the First Time Since 'Beloved' Father's Death

She attended a family concert for Queen Margrethe’s 86th birthday while wearing mourning attire after the Royal House confirmed her father’s death.

  • Queen Mary made her first public appearance since her father's death on Thursday, attending a concert celebrating Queen Margrethe's 86th birthday at Fredensborg Palace with King Frederik and Queen Anne-Marie.
  • The Royal House of Denmark confirmed the death of Professor John Dalgleish Donaldson earlier this week, noting his health had been declining over recent years before he passed.
  • Wearing a dark navy suit as a respectful alternative to black while in mourning, Mary last visited her father in March during a six-day official tour of Australia that included Hobart.
  • A private funeral service for Donaldson is expected later this month, following the upcoming confirmation of Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine scheduled for April 18.
  • Born in Scotland, Donaldson graduated from the University of Edinburgh with honors in mathematics and physics; after Henrietta Clark Horne's 1997 death, he remarried English novelist Susan Horwood.
