Queen Mary and King Frederick X of Denmark looked like a happy couple during their visit to Greenland over the weekend.
Accompanied by their two youngest children, Mary, 52, and Frederik, 56, they seemed in high spirits as they visited a whale microphone viewing point in Qeqertarsuaq, Greenland.
Although Crown Prince Christian, 18, who celebrated his school graduation last week, and Princess Isabella, 17, did not attend, Mary and Frederik’s younger children, twins Princess Josephine and Prince Vincent, both 13, were present.
Mary made outdoor attire look chic in a knee-length navy double-breasted coat with a vest underneath and maroon winter accessories, including a hat and scarf.
She appeared in high spirits as she held Frederik’s hand as they explored Greenland, despite their marriage being plagued by rumours of marital problems since the King was photographed in Madrid with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova last year.

Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine joined Frederik and Mary on the trip to Qeqertarsuaq in Greenland.
Frederik also wrapped up warm for the occasion, donning a pair of green printed trousers with a royal blue sweatshirt layered with a velvet vest.
Following in her mother’s footsteps, Josephine showed off her style prowess in a chic khaki ensemble. The young royal also added a heather grey beanie for extra warmth.
Meanwhile, Vincent opted for a similarly coloured dark green outfit, completed with a contrasting £155 beanie, from Italian brand Stone Island.
During the trip, Mary showed her sporty side and played football with local children before a young girl offered her a warm hug.
It comes after Queen Mary, 52, held up her phone and smiled as she took pictures of Prince Christian, 18, in a procession with his classmates as he celebrated reaching the end of his school studies.
Dressed in a stylish striped blazer and accessorized with wayfarer sunglasses, Mary certainly stood out as one of the most stylish mothers in the crowd, but other than that, no one could have said she is one of the most powerful women. of the nation when he joined other parents of Christian’s classmates to celebrate.
She was joined at the Ordrup Gymnasium in Copenhagen by King Frederick, Princess Elizabeth and twins, Princess Josephine and Prince Vincent, to celebrate the graduation of their eldest son and heir to the throne, before he leaves for university in the autumn. .
When the entire family turned out to celebrate the Crown Prince’s graduation, it marked another show of royal solidarity after a turbulent year that included rumours that King Frederick had had an affair (which were strenuously denied) and Queen Margrethe’s shock abdication on New Year’s Day.
The 52-year-old Australian-born queen showed off her sporting side during her trip to Greenland, playing football.
Princess Josephine, 13, wore a trendy all-khaki ensemble with a contrasting gray wool hat.
Mary, Frederik, Vincent and Josephine walked through the rocky landscape of Qeqertarsuaq.
The fact that Crown Prince Christian, who is now first in line to the throne after his father became king in January, took part in a parade with his classmates to celebrate the end of school is another highlight in his graduation festivities.
Last week, Mary and Frederik attended their son’s official graduation ceremony and spoke of their pride in interviews with local media.
The royal is likely to attend university in the fall and complete his military training, following in his father’s footsteps.
A similar situation is that of Princess Leonor, heir to the Spanish throne, who, upon finishing school, began three years of intensive training in defence.
Two years ago, Prince Christian was expelled from the elite Herlufsholm boarding school after a documentary revealed allegations of sexual and physical abuse at the institution. His sister Isabella was also due to attend, but her parents expelled her too.
Prince Vincent matched his twin sister in a khaki ensemble, but added a navy beanie from Stone Island.
Locals cheered as Prince Vincent of Denmark ran the Family Mile at the Qeqertarsuaq Race during a visit to Qeqertarsuaq.
Queen Mary looked cheerful as she chatted with young locals in Qeqertarsuaq, Greenland.
The couple were enrolled at Ordrup Gymnasium, and as Isabella is only a year below her brother, Mary and Frederik will likely be at the school around the same time next year to celebrate their eldest daughter’s graduation.
The school from which Christian graduated was founded in 1873 by HC Frederiksen (called Friser), who wanted to move away from the traditional teaching methods of his time.
The school, which offers several clubs, including elite sports clubs, was the first to introduce co-education in Denmark and is considered an innovative institution.
Ordrup’s core values are to encourage “curiosity” among its students, as well as “cooperation and respect.”
Crown Prince Christian’s graduation festivities mark a joyous occasion for the Danish royal family amid a turbulent time, following King Frederick’s night out with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova in Madrid last fall.

Snaps of the couple showed them heading to a traditional flamenco restaurant in the Spanish capital, where Genoveva lives, where Spanish magazine Lecturas reported they dined together until the early hours.
After the photos were published, rumors of a romance between the two circulated, which Genoveva flatly denied.
However, cracks began to appear in the relationship between Queen Mary and King Frederick following his date night with Genevieve and the couple, who have been married for 20 years, have displayed cold body language towards each other in public appearances.
But as Crown Prince Christian marks a rite of passage in his life by graduating from high school, the family appears to be overwhelmed with happiness, just as there were smiles all around for the Danish royals last week.
