Princess Mary is the definition of chic in a stylish pleated skirt at Milan Design Week in Italy
Crown Princess Mary of Denmark looked effortlessly chic as she attended Milan Design Week 2023 in Italy on Monday.
Hobart-born Mary, 51, looked elegant in a white and blue pleated skirt and long black sleeved shirt when she met Milan mayor Giuseppe Sala.
She completed her ensemble with a pair of powder blue stilettos and pearl earrings.
Mary – born Mary Elizabeth Donaldson – curled her dark brown locks and wore a neutral makeup palette.
She accompanied the mayor of Milan and the Danish Minister of Industry, Business and Finance, Morten Boedskov, for a tour of the Alcova exhibition grounds.

During the 2000 Olympics, Mary met her husband, Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, by chance at the Sydney pub, the Slip Inn, during the 2000 Olympics.
After their meeting, Fred – who was in Australia supporting the Danish Olympic sailing team – asked Mary for her phone number and a romance ensued.
“The first time we met, we shook hands. I didn’t know he was the Prince of Denmark. Half an hour later someone came up to me and said, ‘Do you know who these people are’?’ Mary revealed in an interview about meeting the heir to the Danish throne.
They maintained a long-distance relationship for a year, with Frederik taking secret trips Down Under before Mary moved to Denmark in 2001 to study Danish at the Studieskolen in Copenhagen.
In early 2003, Frederik’s mother, Queen Margrethe, publicly acknowledged the relationship and the couple announced their engagement at Amalienborg Castle later that year, on 8 October.

Frederik and Mary were married at Copenhagen Cathedral on May 14, 2004, with the newly minted Crown Princess opting for a stunning dress by Danish designer Uffer Frank and a veil first used by Crown Princess Margaret of Sweden in 1905.
Their first child, Prince Christian Valdemar Henri John, was born on October 15, 2005; Princess Isabella Henrietta Ingrid Margrethe followed on April 21, 2007.
Nearly four years later, on January 8, 2011, Mary and Frederik welcomed the twins, Princess Josephine Sophia Ivalo Mathilda and Prince Vincent Frederik Minik Alexander, to Copenhagen’s Rigshospitalet.
