King Frederik and Queen Mary reappear with royal children after summer break

As the Danish royals arrived, they were received in front of the Old Town Hall by Sønderborg City Council, where King Frederik gave a short speech.

Queen Mary was inundated with bouquets of beautifully coloured flowers as the royals arrived in Gråsten. Her Majesty looked elegant in a paisley-print midi dress, a cropped jacket and tan slingback kitten heels. 

Princess Isabella and Prince Vincent were also all smiles and full of confidence as they also took the time to greet as many locals as possible. 

Isabella will begin 3^rd grade at Øregård Gymnasium next month, while Vincent attends Tranegårdskolen.

And Vincent has gotten even taller since he was last seen publicly at the Royal Run race in June. 

The prince was dressed smartly in a grey jacket, a white open-collared shirt and beige trousers. 

Isabella opted for a black and red floral print wrap dress from Diane von Furstenberg, teamed with Chanel two-tone ballet flats and delicate jewellery.

The siblings even posed for snaps together – how sweet!

From the city square, the Danish royals walked the half a kilometre route to Gråsten Palace, stopping to shake hands and chat with locals, who were waving flags and cheering. 

The current palace dates back to the 18^th century and it has been the summer residence of the Danish royal family since 1935 when it was given to then Crown Prince Frederik and his wife, Crown Princess Ingrid, who later became king and queen.

During one touching moment, King Frederik and Queen Mary were relaxed as they walked with their arms around one another. 

Before making their way into the palace, King Frederik and Queen Mary posed for a family photo with Princess Isabella and Prince Vincent. 

We wish them a happy time in Gråsten this summer!
