Queen Mary and Danish royals put on unexpected united front after return to public eye

Frederik’s absence suggested the monarch was taking time off from official duties.

Isabella and Vincent, two of the monarch’s four children, delighted crowds as they made an unexpected appearance with their parents on the walk to the summer estate.

During his address, King Frederik revealed that the couple’s eldest son, 19-year-old Crown Prince Christian, would arrive at the palace at a later date.

Princess Josephine, Vincent’s twin sister, will also later join the family.

The teenager wore smart grey outerwear with white shirt and light-coloured trousers.

His elder sister chose a wrapped dress featuring black and red botanical patterns by Diane von Furstenberg, complemented by two-toned Chanel pumps and subtle accessories.

The princess, who begins her final year at Øregård Gymnasium next month, appeared poised whilst her brother continues his education at Tranegårdskolen.

The royal procession covered approximately 500 metres from the civic centre to their destination, with the family pausing frequently to acknowledge supporters displaying Danish flags.

The royals received gifts as they greeted members of the public

The estate has served as the monarchy’s seasonal retreat since 1935, when the property was presented to the then heir apparent and his consort, who subsequently ascended to the throne.

The current structure originates from the 1700s, maintaining its significance as a cherished royal residence through successive generations.

A particularly affectionate moment occurred when the monarchs strolled with their arms encircling each other.
