Royal tours always bring plenty of memorable moments, and the 2026 Australian visit from Queen Mary and King Frederik is proving to be no exception.
Returning to her home country alongside King Frederik, Queen Mary has been welcomed by crowds across Australia, with cameras capturing everything from formal events to relaxed moments with locals.
And according to an inside source, Mary and Frederik as as loved up as ever!
“Frederik promised he’d be on his best behaviour down under and he more than delivered,” the insider tells Woman’s Day. “Even before they left, he surprised Mary with his choice of throwback photos that were posted on the royal family’s official accounts.
“There were many tender visibly affectionate moments on this tour that weren’t about them syncing as royals. It’s clear this marriage is back on track and Australians can rest easy that their most precious export is being treated like the queen she is.
The source continues, “There’s no doubt the magic of Australia made an impression. Who can forget their sunset walk at Uluru – even Vanity Fair calling it their ‘Charles and Diana’ moment. And he was careful to let her lead as ‘Mary mania’ took hold during their Canberra walkabout. Picture of picture of them smiling, sharing glances, completely relaxed in each other’s company.
“It was heartwarming for her fellow countrymen to see – but more than anything it’s clear Mary’s not been this happy and glowing in years. He’s worked hard this year at rebuilding her trust and it’s fair to say they’ve fallen in love all over again.”
Here’s a look at some of the best photos from the tour so far!
