Queen Mary and King Frederik have kicked off their six-day official visit to Australia.

The Danish royals were welcomed at Government House in Canberra on Sunday, ahead of a dinner with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Mary, 54, stunned in a white ensemble as she posed alongside her husband and Governor-General Sam Mostyn, as well as Mostyn’s husband Simeon Beckett.

The queen opted for a flowing, semi-sheer gown with ruffled edges and a colourful floral motif.

Mary added a grey-blue fascinator with netting that sat across her forehead, and matched the hat to her drop earrings.

For makeup, she chose a clean palette with a soft pink lip, and wore her brunette locks down over her shoulders.

King Frederik, 57, looked dapper in a classic navy blue suit worn with a deep red tie.

The royal couple touched down in Perth on Friday afternoon to begin their jam-packed itinerary, which includes official engagements, cultural experiences, and opportunities to meet local communities.

The historic visit marks Mary’s first return to her homeland since she became Queen in January 2024, the first by any Danish monarch in 40 years.

Their first stop was at Uluru on Saturday, where the royals met with Indigenous elders and watched the sunset.

Their visit to the Red Centre mirrors previous trips by the British royals but focuses on Denmark’s particular interests.

The Australian government has announced there will be an opportunity for the public to see the Danish royals at Canberra’s Australian War Memorial on Monday.

The tour will also take them to Melbourne, where they will attend a state banquet and events highlighting Denmark-Australia relations.

They will then travel to Queen Mary’s home state of Tasmania, where she will visit her old school in Hobart and other hometown sites, where she still has family.

They will also inspect shipbuilder Incat, which is constructing two battery-electric ferries for Denmark, the country’s largest export contract from Tasmania to date.

The ferries are intended to carry passengers and cars while reducing carbon emissions, representing Denmark’s interest in sustainable transport.

As the royals touched down in Perth, their official Instagram page shared photos of the couple early in their relationship, which began after they met during the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.

‘On the way! We have been greatly looking forward to seeing Australia and the people of the whole country again,’ the post, accompanied by iconic Aussie anthem Down Under from Men At Work, read.

‘A lot has happened since we last met here more than 25 years ago!’

More than 50 Danish business leaders will accompany the royal couple on their Australian tour.

The Danish royals are promoting industry and trade ties during their visit, highlighting clean energy and urban development.
