King Frederick of Denmark appeared to be in high spirits when he visited the Danish Architecture Center (DAC) in Copenhagen today.
The monarch, 56, looked elegant in a suit while participating in the opening of an exhibition at the center called ‘The Water Comes’.
The exhibition was held to foster a deeper understanding of water dependency and the challenges it poses to cities.
It also presents different solutions on how we can live with water in the future while looking at the problems of global warming and climate change.
The father of four smiled as he posed alongside DAC CEO Kent Martinussen.

King Frederick became a patron of DAC in May this year, just a few months into his reign, when Queen Margaret abdicated in January.
The royal arrived downtown dressed in a suit and boots, a gray jacket, suit pants, a crisp blue shirt and a sapphire tie.
He smiled as he walked through the exhibit, deep in thought as he interacted with the creative exhibits. It opened today and will operate at the DAC until May 23, 2025.
Frederik appeared to attend this engagement without his wife, Queen Mary. The couple has had a busy week, following the opening of the Danish parliament on October 1.
Last Tuesday, Mary, 52, looked elegant in a mint green ensemble as she joined her husband King Frederik and her aunt Princess Benedikte at the state opening of parliament.

Queen Mary’s coat dress had a belt at the waist and fell just below the knee.

Queen Mary chose a knee-length mint green coat dress for the formal occasion, while Princess Benedikte looked equally elegant in a cream tweed suit. King Frederick, for his part, opted for a three-piece navy blue suit.
She wore a pair of diamond earrings and a quilted Chanel bag.
Margarethe, 84, a distant cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II, announced her abdication on New Year’s Eve after reigning for 52 years, making her the second-longest-reigning Danish monarch.
Recently hospitalized after suffering a fall, she is feeling “very well,” although she was not present at last week’s event.
Gathered for the opening of the Danish parliament, which takes place on the first Tuesday in October, the royals were joined by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who arrived with her husband Bo Tengberg, 59.
Mette Frederiksen, the youngest prime minister in Denmark’s history, wore a dark pink pantsuit, while her husband looked dapper in a dark suit and tie.
With slicked-back hair, natural makeup and a broad smile, Prime Minister Frederiksen cut an elegant but approachable figure.
