Queen Mary of Denmark made a surprise visit to Australia this week when she was spotted flaunting her figure on Brontë Beach on Wednesday.
The monarch, 52, donned casual sportswear as she appeared in Sydney with her 13-year-old daughter Josephine.
Dressed all in black, the mother of four was noticeably without her husband, King Frederick, following the anniversary of rumors of their affair, which were strongly denied.
The royal couple were plagued by speculation about marital strife after the King, 56, was photographed in Madrid with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova last October.
But Queen Mary appeared to be all smiles on Wednesday as she enjoyed some fun in the sun with her daughter and a friend in her home country.
The Tasmanian-born royal, who was last in Australia for a personal visit in December, donned a black long-sleeved shirt and shorts for her outing.
At one point, she was seen running through the sand with a friend while pulling her brown hair into a ponytail.
Hiding her face behind a pair of dark sunglasses and a cap, Queen Mary took off her shirt to reveal a tank top underneath when it got too hot.
