King Frederik X who was proclaimed king on January 14, and his Australian-born wife Queen Mary will travel to Sweden and Norway in May on their first foreign state tour.
The new queen waved with one hand and clasped her husband with the other before they embraced, a world away from her Tassie upbringing and the Sydney pub where they met.
"When Mary and Frederik met in Australia, the story used to be that she was lucky to run into a fairytale prince. I think time has shown he was even luckier."
Denmark's Crown Princess Mary has attended an extravagant water show at an old Viking harbor in Randers, Denmark as part of festivities for neighbouring town Aarhus, named the European Capital of Culture for 2017.
