The Crown Prince and Princess of Denmark tied the knot in 2004

  • The Danish Royal Family have been the target of 'affair' rumours
  • Mary and Frederik were photographed on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day

Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark was pictured holding hands with his wife, Crown Princess Mary after the pair were the subject of "affair" rumours last month.

The Danish royal couple appears to be putting last month's photo controversy behind them as they made a unified appearance together at Christmas.


Frederik, 55, and Mary, 51, spent a festive holiday in New Zealand together before returning to Denmark.

On Christmas Eve, the couple walked hand-in-hand as they arrived at Aarhus Cathedral alongside their four children.

The couple have faced intense scrutiny since November after a Mexican socialite named Genoveva Casanova was photographed with the Crown Prince of Denmark in Madrid.

Casanova released a statement denying any romantic involvement with Frederik after being photographed with the future King of Denmark in the Spanish press.

The couple, who celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in May, arrived at the cathedral with their children Prince Christian, 18, Princess Isabella, 16, and 12-year-old twins Josephine and Vincent.

For the appearance, Mary wore a Saloni Jacqui dress, Aquazzura burgundy suede knee-high boots, and Sophie Bille Brahe earrings.

Also joining the couple were Queen Margrethe of Denmark, Frederik's younger brother, Prince Joachim, and his wife, Princess Marie.

Joachim and Marie flew into Denmark from their current Washington DC home, where they moved earlier this year with their young children, Count Henrik, 14, and Countess Athena, 11.

On Christmas Day, Frederik and Mary made an appearance together again.

This time, the 51-year-old wore a black and brown checked blazer from the brand Skall with matching trousers.

In addition, she donned Gucci glasses and the same earrings that she wore on Christmas Eve.

This comes as Mary recently posted a cryptic message about loneliness on her foundation's website after being the target of recent rumours.

She wrote: "So much has happened that it is impossible to put it all into words.

"And that's not only true in the working world and for those of us who are working to combat social isolation. This is true for all of us. Humans need humans."
