Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark's plans for the festive season have been confirmed by the palace.
In an announcement on the Danish royal family's website, it states: "This year, Marselisborg Castle in Aarhus once again forms the setting for Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family's Christmas. On December 20, the Queen will stay at the castle and celebrate Christmas Eve with the Crown Prince's family."
Marselisborg Palace, which was built in 1902, has been the summer residence of Queen Margrethe since 1967 when she was gifted it as a wedding present from her father King Frederick IX. The changing of the guard happens every day at noon when the royal family are in residence.
