Crown Princess Mary must have scored major brownie points with her mother-in-law, Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II.

The Queen is known for her beehive-inspired bouffants (as seen on the royal website). Princess Mary was photographed sporting her own brand of beehive for the annual New Year’s banquet, as reported by the blog The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor.

Mary’s hairdo was surmounted by a diamond and ruby tiara in the form of leaves and berries. It was a tiara once worn by Queen Ingrid of Denmark, Margrethe’s mother.

On August 6th, the Danish royal court announced that Crown Princess Mary is pregnant with twins.

Princess Mary, the former Mary Donaldson of Australia, married Denmark’s Crown Prince Frederick in 2004. Their elder children are Prince Christian, 4, and Princess Isabella, 3.

This will be the first time a set of twins has been born into the Danish royal house, according to Dag Trygsland Hoelseth (see his blog). He explains that there are twins in the extended family (Countesses Camilla and Josephine of Rosenborg), but there have never been twins in the immediate Royal Family.

The twins are expected to be born in January of next year.

A penny for their thoughts…
