Danish royals King Frederik and Aussie-born Queen Mary have touched down in Melbourne with a string of royal engagements set for their two days in the city.
Their majesties were pictured Tuesday afternoon in the trendy Melbourne suburb of Prahran on a sustainable development tour.
Queen Mary is also set to give a speech on the royal couple’s personal experiences with sustainable transformation.
The walk showcased the suburbs developing projects currently under construction and completed sustainable housing.
The Danish pair are also set to visit the Port of Melbourne later in the afternoon, exploring sustainable solutions in the maritime sector and a tour that will present Denmark’s own solutions in renewable energy and green transition.
Earlier on Tuesday morning, the pair were spotted meeting and greeting Victoria’s Governor Margaret Gardner at historic Government House.
Adding their names to the official visitors book, their majesties posed up with Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan, Professor Gardner, her partner Professor Glyn Davis in the coffee capital.
Queen Mary stunned in a striking red dress beside King Frederik, who wore a sharp charcoal suit.
Over the weekend, the Danish royals kick started their six day tour of Australia by swapping the red carpets for the red sands of Central Australia’s Uluru, visiting the Uluru Kata Tjuṯa Cultural Centre.
From Central Australia, they travelled straight to Canberra on Sunday and were received at Government House with a ceremonial welcome, dining that evening at a state dinner across from the Prime Minister, Governor-General and Opposition Leader.
Their majesties then honoured the fallen with a visit to the Australian War Memorial on Monday where they laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and observed a minute of silence in the Hall of Memory.
It’s the first state visit from Danish royalty in 40 years, but the couple’s fourth official visit together since 2013.
