A royal mystery has finally been solved! There was much confusion around the Danish royal family's Easter holidays when a flag was raised over their residence at Amalienborg Palace.
But now it has been confirmed by newly-released images that King Frederik and Queen Mary enjoyed a skiing holiday with their four children in the Swiss resort of Verbier at the end of March.
The photographs taken on 26 March show King Frederik, 55, taking to the slopes wearing a bright blue jacket and navy trousers.
Meanwhile, Queen Mary, 52, looked chic in a tri-coloured Moncler turtleneck sweater under a puffer jacket and navy ski trousers. She was seen walking with her 16-year-old daughter, Princess Isabella, who matched her mother in a slogan sweatshirt.
Frederik and Mary were also accompanied on the trip by their eldest son and heir to the throne, Crown Prince Christian, and their 13-year-old twins, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine.
