Queen Mary has lit up a historic castle room in a major new development.
The Danish Royal Family took to Instagram on Thursday, November 5, to share about the Queen Consort’s latest engagement, revealing that she reopened a 400-year-old royal room after a three-year restoration.
In the update, the Royals shared, “As darkness began to fall over Rosenborg Castle on Thursday afternoon, Her Majesty the Queen inaugurated Christian IV’s Winter Room following a three-year restoration, subsequently pulling a symbolic cord to activate a light installation.”
“The light installation highlights many of the room’s newly restored details, which the public will now be able to experience,” the caption noted.
It was also shared, “Christian IV’s Winter Room was established at Rosenborg Castle in 1613. The room was decorated with richly carved wooden panels and paintings, including works from Antwerp. Over time, the ceiling, floor, and architectural features have undergone changes; following an extensive three-year restoration, the Winter Room’s historical details have now been preserved and brought to the fore.”
For the historic reopening, Queen Mary radiated regal char in a Dolce & Gabbana violet double-breasted wool peacoat with a black turtleneck and trousers.
She officially opened the space by cutting a silk ribbon before switching on its special lighting installation and touring the restored room.
