Crown Princess Mary of Denmark loves to spend her downtime with her husband and four children. Trips back home to Tasmania and other Aussie hotspots have provided precious memories for the Danish royal family.
But one trip Down Under in 2015 took a dramatic turn when Prince Christian, then 10, got into difficulties swimming off a Gold Coast beach.
Lifeguard Nick Malcolm had to wade in and save the youngster after he became trapped in a rip on Mermaid Beach.
In Denmark, Mary andFrederick often take their kids to Tisvilde, a picturesque small town on the north coast of the island Zealand where they enjoy picnics, walks, days on the beach and long bike rides.
In summer the family head to their residence, Grasten Palace, where they spend longdays at the beach with their beloved pooch Grace.
The royal family are fond of skiing, too, so regularly head to the glitzy town of Verbier where they enjoy snow sports on the celebrity-filled slopes.
Crown Prince Frederik is also a keen sailor, so the family are known to head out on glamorous yachting holidays.
In 2017 they travelled to Greece, arriving on the island of Kos just a few hours after a huge earthquake hit, killing two people and destroying many buildings.
