King Frederik and Queen Mary will conclude their three-day visit to Faroe Islands on Friday but cameras have picked up some subtle PDAs between the couple.

The Danish royals spent the second day of their trip on the island of Suduroy, where they visited a kindergarten and planted a tree at a plantation in Tvøroyri.

At one point, King Frederik, 57, was pictured with his arm sweetly around his wife, Queen Mary, 53, as she leaned into her husband and smiled.

Frederik and Mary marked their 21st wedding anniversary on 14 May, with the then Crown Prince first having met Australian-born Mary at the Slip Inn pub during the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

The couple tied the knot at Copenhagen Cathedral in 2004, with the bride wearing a satin gown by Danish designer, Uffe Frank, and a tiara gifted to her by Frederik's parents, Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik.

Mary's bouquet contained a nod to her birthplace as it contained Australian eucalyptus.

Proud parents

The couple are parents to four children – Crown Prince Christian, 19, Princess Isabella, 18, and 14-year-old twins, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine.

Christian, who is heir to the Danish throne, has just completed training with the Guard Hussar regiment and will commence his lieutenant's training course in August.
