On Tuesday, Queen Margrethe, Crown Prince Frederik, and Crown Princess Mary first attended a reception for Justices of the Supreme Court and the officer corps of the Royal Life Guard and the Guard Hussar Regiment at Christian VII's Palace.

🤝Der blev givet mange håndtryk, da Hendes Majestæt Dronningen og Kronprinsparret i morges ønskede godt nytår til Højesterets dommere, Den Kongelige Livgardes og Gardehusarregimentets Officerskorps i Christian VII's Palæ på Amalienborg. I århundreder har Kongehuset og danskerne ønsket hinanden et glædeligt nytår og dermed lykke og velstand for hele riget. Oprindelsen til nutidens nytårskure og nytårstaffel fortaber sig, men allerede midt i 1600-tallet omtales begivenhederne omkring årsskiftet som en gammel skik, og grundelementerne er stadig de samme. Traditionen med nytårskure, der strækker sig over flere dage, er udviklet efter 1. verdenskrig, hvor kurene ikke længere kunne gennemføres på en og samme dag den 1. januar. Det skyldtes samfundsudviklingen; op gennem 1900-tallet voksede antallet af statsinstitutioner, der blev oprettet flere ministerier, en lang række nye lande opstod og dermed flere diplomatiske repræsentationer.

Queen Margrethe always wears the same gown for these receptions but she debuted a new gown this year. It was gifted to her by the Craftsmen's Association in Copenhagen for her Golden Jubilee in 2022. It now replaces the royal blue gown she received more than 25 years ago.
