That the occasion was marking Denmark's presidency of the EU Council didn't stop it having the feel of a get together between pals.
It was the same story a few days earlier. When Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway and her husband Haakon travelled to Copenhagen to help Mary's mother-in-law Queen Margrethe celebrate the ruby jubilee of her ascension to the throne.
After the regal splendour of the evening gala, with a roll call of VIPS, draped in jewels, Mary and Mette-Marit headed for lunch and some shopping.
When the two ladies said goodbye, the popular Danish royal enveloped her friend in a huge hug.
