King Frederik and Queen and Mary of Denmark put on a warm display as they appeared together during their summer tour on Tuesday.
Every year, the royal couple travel through the country during the season, undergoing a series of engagements in different locations.
On Tuesday, they were snapped in the Thisted Municipality, a Kommune in the North Jutland Region.
The royal couple were snapped smiling as they waved to members of the public who’d come out to see them.  Â
Queen Mary, 53, looked chic in a white dress with embellishments, which she topped with a fitted dark blazer-type jacket.
Her accessories included a wide-brimmed white hat, under which her chestnus tresses fell, styled into a down do
The royal’s jewellery included a pair of drop earrings, as well as two gold bangles on one wrist, which were combined with another bracelet featuring coloured stones.Â
Members of the Danish Royal Family have been touring the country on the Royal Yacht Dannebrog every summer for the past 100 years.Â

The Royal Yacht Dannebrog has served as the Danish Royal Family’s cruise ship since May 1932 and has travelled over 800,000 miles.
It hosts the Royal Family on both their private holidays and during official overseas engagements.
The yacht’s royal compartment still contains furniture and fittings dating back to 1879 that that was on board the family’s previous yacht.
After touring Bornholm and hosting a reception on board the yacht last night, the royal couple will then sail to the Ærø Municipality.
Last year marked the first time Frederik and Mary participated in the tour as reigning monarchs – following the King’s ascension to the throne in January.
The year before, it was Frederik’s mother, Queen Margarethe, 84, who completed the boat tour.
In December 2023, Queen Margrethe shocked the nation and many royal watchers around the world when she used her annual New Year’s Eve speech to announce live on television that she was stepping down as Queen after 52 years.
This made Margrethe the first monarch to abdicate the Danish throne in 900 years.

The announcement came just weeks after Frederik hit the headlines when he was pictured on a night out in Madrid with a Mexican socialite, sparking rumours of an alleged ‘affair’.Â
The move lead to speculation that the royal had made this decision to keep her daughter-in-law, who is extremely popular with the public, on side.
The former monarch signed her historic abdication papers with her son and grandson Prince Christian, 18, present in Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen.
The Queen’s last words before leaving the Council of State were: ‘God save the King.’
Australian-born Mary and Frederik’s 23-year romance was often dubbed a ‘real-life fairytale’ after they met in a Sydney pub.
