Denmark’s Queen Mary looked typically elegant today as she visited the Liberty Museum in Copenhagen, amid rumors she has abandoned a planned trip with her husband Prince Frederik.
The Australian-born royal, 52, donned a long, stylish trench coat that she tied at the waist as she headed to the Museum to mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of the National Guard.
The outing comes amid speculation that Mary may have spent the Easter holiday away from Prince Frederik while their flag remained raised over their Amalienborg Castle mansion – meaning that at least Frederik, Mary or their son, Crown Prince Christian, were present.
The family often travels for Easter, with the palace telling Danish newspaper Her&Nul last week that Queen Margrethe, 83, would act as head of state while the whole family traveled out of the country.
However, it appears a last minute change has taken place, with Mary possibly staying in Copenhagen.

Marie’s visit today was also tinged with sadness.
According to Danish newspaper Billed Bladet, a Home Guard soldier died of cardiac arrest while on duty the night before Mary’s visit.
Today, she took the podium to address military personnel and pay tribute to the fallen soldier.
“For 75 years, the Home Guard has ensured the safety and security of Danes.
“This is a day we want to celebrate, but before we go any further, I would also like to express my deepest condolences to those who are bereaved by last night’s tragic death,” she said.

The past few years have been difficult for the Danish royal family, with rumors of an “affair” and a rift over title changes. The family entered a new chapter after King Frederik X ascended the throne in January.
As royal fans were whipped into a frenzy over the mystery of Marie’s stay, many revisited King Frederik’s evening with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova in Madrid last fall, sparking rumors of an “affair ” in the whole world.
Genoveva was spotted with King Frederik last November as the two dined at a flamenco restaurant in Madrid until the early hours of the morning, Spanish magazine Lecturas reported.
Photos of the couple in the Spanish capital sparked rumors of an affair, which Genoveva vigorously denied in a legal letter posted on Instagram.
The popular couple worked hard to ignore dating rumors – which slowed down once Frederik was made king.
The flag indicates when a member of the royal family is working from home, meaning the king, queen or crown prince were indoors for the entire holiday period.
After publishing the denial, Genoveva sought solace in San Sebastián, where the family of her ex-husband Cayetano Martínez de Irujo owned property.
The Spanish magazine Hola! reported that the socialite stayed at the Arbaizenea Palace, a property once owned by the Duchess of Alba and bequeathed to her son Cayetano Martínez de Irujo. The magazine reports that Genoveva goes to San Sebastian whenever she needs to “disconnect” from public life.
However, last month, after several months away from social media, Genoveva made her return to public life with a new post on her Instagram page – including two selfies with her fluffy pooch. The reality TV star and the king notably enjoyed a walk in a park. , go to an art exhibition and have a meal while watching flamenco.
In a legal letter posted to Instagram, she slammed “malicious” rumors suggesting the couple were romantically involved.
The couple have only held the title of king and queen since Queen Margrethe’s abdication on December 31.
This gave rise to speculation that Queen Margrethe’s abdication may have been intended to save the marriage of her son and Princess Mary following this alleged “affair”.
Royal commentator Phil Dampier said The telegraph: ‘It is possible that the Queen took this action because she would have been terrified at the thought of the marriage breaking down and the royal family losing Mary.
“It would have caused major problems.
“The Queen has always considered Mary a tremendous asset.”
