After meeting in September 2000 and marrying in 2004, King Frederik and Queen Mary welcomed four kids into the world creating a gorgeous family unit. Slowly, their children – Christian, Isabella, Vincent, and Josephine – are following in their parent’s footsteps as they fulfill their royal duties. But what do we know about each kid individually? Scroll on to find out.
Who are King Frederik and Queen Mary’s children?
Crown Prince Christian
King Frederik and Queen Mary’s firstborn, Crown Prince Christian was born on October 15, 2005, making him 18 years old. Now that King Frederik (previously Crown Prince Frederik) has been crowned King of Denmark, Prince Christian is heir to the Danish throne.
Princess Isabella
Princess Isabella is King Frederik and Queen Mary’s second-born child but eldest daughter. Princess Isabella was born on April 21, 2007, making her 17 years old. She is currently second in the line of succession.
Prince Vincent
Prince Vincent is King Frederik and Queen Mary’s youngest son and is a twin with Princess Josephine. He was born on January 8, 2011, making him 13 years old. Prince Vincent was born 26 minutes before Princess Josephine technically making him the older sibling and securing his place as third in the line of succession to the Danish throne.

As mentioned, though being a twin to Prince Vincent, Princess Josephine is the youngest in the family. She was born on January 8, 2011, making her 13 years old. Princess Josephine is fourth in the line of succession.
King Frederik and Queen Mary’s best family photos
Princess Josephine and Prince Vincent accompanied their parents to the town of Sisimiut on Greenland’s west coast in early July.
As part of their time in the Nordic nation (which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark), the family visited traditional Inuit winter houses, reindeer hunting grounds, and ruins from the colonial area.
Despite it being summer, the royals had to rug up, with temperatures failing to rise above 10 degrees during their stay.
During the same trip, the royals travelled by boat to view an innovative new whale microphone run by the Arctic Station that had been installed in Disko Bay.
The family then met with citizens from the city of Qeqertarsuag where they had coffee and took part in a running race with local children.
The Danish royal family came together to celebrate a special occasion on June 24th – the high school graduation of Crown Prince Christian!
For the occasion, the heir apparent wore a studenterhue, a traditional cap worn by Danish graduates on their last day of secondary schooling.
Queen Mary got behind the camera to capture this sweet family snap of King Frederik with Princess Josephine and her twin brother Prince Vincent decked out in the red and white colours of Denmark’s national soccer team ahead of their participation in the Euro 2024 tournament.
The accompanying caption read: “It starts in a little while, and at our place, we are just about to get ready for Denmark’s match start. My family and I wish @herrelandsholdet great luck for the European Championships.”
In the game, Denmark drew 1-1 against Slovenia.
On May 26, 2024, King Frederik celebrated his 56th birthday – his first as the King of Denmark.
And it looks like the birthday boy took a day off from driving around Amalienborg Palace. On this day, his eldest son Christian assumed the role of chauffeur, with Vincent in the back.
Meanwhile, Queen Mary was all smiles as she drove the second vehicle; her eldest daughter Isabella rode up front with Josephine in the back.
On May 26th, the family was photographed waving to thousands of well-wishers as they stepped out together in celebration of King Frederik’s 56th birthday.
The full family is rarely spotted all together for occasions like this, making the moment even more special.
Queen Margrethe also joined her grandchildren, son, and daughter-in-law – huge smiles adorning all their faces.
On May 20, the family competed in the Royal Run which takes place every spring in Denmark. King Frederik and Queen Mary have been regular participants since its inception in 2018.
Crown Prince Christian, Princess Josephine, Princess Isabella, and Prince Vincent posed for photos following their participation in the activities.
Royal watchers were quick to take to the comments section of the Instagram post to point out how grown up the children are!
“Omg, the twins have grown up,” one person wrote.
“It’s crazy how much Princess Isabella looks like King Frederik,” another pointed out.
Another said: “Beautiful siblings. The twins have so grown up.”
