The Danish Royal Family are well and truly embracing their Aussie heritage!
Despite their oldest son Christian’s recent drama, Mary and Fred were keen to return to a normal holiday and hit the beach with their four children.
The future King and Queen of Denmark enjoyed a fun-filled day with Christian, ten, Isabella, eight, twins Vincent and Josephine, both four, as well as members of Mary’s family in Byron Bay recently.
Princess Mary, 43, was a natural as she took to the waters and body-surfed some waves.
