Queen Mary and King Frederik have kicked off their six-day official visit to Australia.
On Sunday, the Danish royal family arrived at Government House in Canberra, where they were scheduled to have dinner with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Mary, age 54, looked radiant in a white outfit while posing with her husband and Governor-General Sam Mostyn, and Sam’s husband, Simeon Beckett.
The queen opted for a flowing, semi-sheer gown with ruffled edges and a colourful floral motif.
Mary completed her outfit with a grey-blue fascinator featuring netting that draped across her forehead, and she chose earrings to complement it.
She kept her makeup natural with a light pink lip color and wore her brown hair loose around her shoulders.
King Frederik, 57, looked dapper in a classic navy blue suit worn with a deep red tie.
The royal couple arrived in Perth on Friday afternoon, kicking off a busy schedule filled with official duties, cultural events, and meetings with people from local communities.
This trip is significant because it’s Queen Mary’s first time back in Denmark since becoming queen in January 2024. It’s also the first visit to the country by a Danish monarch in four decades.
On Saturday, the royals began their trip with a visit to Uluru, where they connected with Indigenous elders and enjoyed the sunset.
The royal visit to Australia’s Red Centre follows a pattern similar to past trips by British royals, but this time with a special emphasis on areas of interest for Denmark.
On Monday, the public will have a chance to see the Danish royals when they visit the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, according to an announcement from the Australian government.
The tour will include a visit to Melbourne, featuring a state banquet and events celebrating the ties between Denmark and Australia.
Next, they’ll journey to Tasmania, Queen Mary’s home state, where she’ll revisit her former school in Hobart and other places she remembers fondly, as she still has family there.
Inspectors will also visit Incat, the shipbuilder currently making two battery-powered ferries for Denmark. This is currently Tasmania’s biggest export deal with the country.
These new ferries will transport both people and vehicles, and they’re designed to lower carbon emissions, showing Denmark’s commitment to environmentally friendly transportation.
When the royal couple arrived in Perth, their official Instagram account posted throwback photos of them from the beginning of their romance. They first met at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.
We’re excited to be heading back to Australia and can’t wait to see everyone again! The announcement was shared with the classic song ‘Down Under’ by Men At Work.
‘A lot has happened since we last met here more than 25 years ago!’
More than 50 Danish business leaders will accompany the royal couple on their Australian tour.
During their trip, the Danish royal family is working to strengthen business connections, with a particular focus on green energy and city planning.
