Crown Princess Mary attended an Anzac Day ceremony in Denmark over the weekend.

The Australian-born Royal cut a solemn figure as she placed a wreath at a memorial in Copenhagen.

The 43-year-old chose a dark ensemble for the event, wearing a knee-length purple dress beneath a black jacket and striking black millinery and gloves.

Mary's attendance at the Anzac Day commemorations came days after her comments in a televised interview about dealing with loneliness.

Appearing on Danish show Aftenshowet, she spoke of the grief she endured after losing her mother when she was 25.

'It felt like I was all alone with my grief,' she said. 'That no one understood me and that I stood still while everyone around me moved on.

'It felt like I was all alone with my grief': Mary spoke of feeling alone and misunderstood after losing her mother, Henrietta Donaldson, at 25 in a new TV interview

'I would have liked to have spent more time with her,' she added.

The Crown Princess' mother Henrietta Donaldson died in 1997 from a heart condition.

Mary discussed the theme of loneliness with the programme and said, 'It's a real and big problem that's gone unnoticed, so I'm glad that it's drawing some attention now.

'There's still a lot of taboo around it, it's an issue we have to talk about.'

Earlier in the week, Mary stepped out in an eye-catching fuchsia dress for the official opening of a research festival in the city of Lyngby on Thursday.

Going for a colour block look, Mary teamed the bright dress with a snake-skin patterned clutch in the same shade, and keeping her collar free of bling, opted for a pair of hanging pearl earrings instead.

To finish things off the mother-of-four's brunette locks were tousled into undone waves that wouldn't have gone astray on a red carpet.

She needed to compete with a little wild weather however, and looked quite windswept before she was ushered indoors.

Mary's makeup was left understated so as not to distract from her statement frock and just a pop of pale pink lipstick and dusting of eye shadow was enough to highlight her naturally pretty features.

The Australian-born beauty toured facilities at the Technical University of Denmark as part of her visit.

She met with researchers and examined some of their latest technology before presenting the 2015 Research Communication Award of the year.
