The twins took on their first press conference ever on Saturday. “I couldn’t imagine a celebration without him.

Dressed all in navy, Queen Mary paired the Danish Flood Sapphire Brooch with her Chloé suit and Gianvito Rossi pumps.
According to the Danish Royal House, the jewel dates back to 1840 and originally belonged to Queen Marie Sophie Frederikke, wife of King Frederik VI. It passed to their daughter, Duchess Wilhelmine of Glücksborg, who donated it in 1872 to a relief collection established after a major flood that inundated parts of the Danish islands of Lolland and Falster, leaving many residents homeless. It was later repurchased by Queen Louise, the wife of Christian IX, who reigned from 1863 to 1906. After being passed down the family line, it later found its way to the Danish Royal Property Trust.

Princess Isabella (on the far right) wore Queen Alexandrine’s Pink Pearl Drop Brooch pinned to the top of her forest green pantsuit. Per The Royal Watcher, the bauble’s exact origins are unknown, but it was likely a wedding gift to the brooch’s namesake at the turn of the 20th century. Queen Alexandrine, who served as queen consort of Denmark from 1912 to 1947, gave the brooch in 1940 to her granddaughter, now Queen Margrethe.
