The Danish royal residences are a complete marvel, but the family doesn't often give their followers a glimpse inside their breathtaking homes.
In an incredibly rare move, Queen Mary of Denmark posted a series of photographs that she herself had taken in the spring and autumn residence she shares with King Frederik, who recently celebrated his 57th birthday.
Taking to Instagram, the 53-year-old shared some pictures of the gardens at Fredensborg Palace, and they look straight out of a fairy tale. Scroll down to see more…

Ascension Day, on 29 May this year, is a Christian celebration that comes 39 days after Easter Sunday, commemorating the ascension of Jesus Christ into Heaven.

One follower wrote: "SO beautiful and well captured. What a fantastic photographer Queen Mary is!"
Another penned: "Wow amazingly beautiful and an important message that we need more wild gardens," while a third, who felt a particularly strong connection to the area, commented: "The beautiful wild garden in my beloved Fredensborg, born and raised here [heart emoji]".

Though the family spend the majority of their time at Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen, they spend the spring and autumn at Fredensborg, bringing their four children with them: Crown Prince Christian, 19, Princess Isabella, 18, and their 14-year-old twins, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine.
The Danish royals also have two different summer residences: Marselisborg Palace and Gråsten Palace, which Queen Mary occasionally gives fans a glimpse of.

Initially erected back in 1731 during the reign of King Christian VI, it was also the home of Queen Margrethe's late mother, Queen Ingrid, until her death in 2000.
