Queen Mary and King Frederik enjoyed a romantic walk on the second day of their summer tour.
The Danish royal couple were taken on a guided walk around the scenic Voderup Klint on the south coast of Ærø and is part of the UNESCO-designated South Funen Archipelago Geopark.
The palace shared some beautiful photographs from their trip, including one of Frederik and Mary exchanging a sweet look of love.
The Queen looked elegant in a white shirt and a camel maxi skirt by Joseph, accessorising with a straw hat, trainers and delicate gold jewellery. Meanwhile, the King donned a grey suit with a white shirt and a rust-coloured tie.
Frederik and Mary are visiting several Danish municipalities during their four-day summer tour – the first of their reign, which began back in January.
They have not been joined by their four children – Crown Prince Christian, 18, Princess Isabella, 17, and 13-year-old twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine. The youngest three children are set to return to school this month.
Take a look at the best photos from their second day in Ærø.
