The 50-year-old could also be seen laughing with fellow guests and enjoying snacks from the table in front of him at the prestigious event.

It’s been a busy start to the new year for Prince Frederik and his wife Princess Mary – with the pair stepping out for a variety of occasions.

The Prince – who has most recently opted for a clean-shaven look – appeared dapper in military regalia.
