The King and Queen of Denmark will make their fourth visit to Australia in March, and their first official state visit since the King\u2019s ascension to the throne.<\/p>\n
While the final program is yet to be announced, King Frederik X and Queen Mary will visit the Northern Territory, the ACT, Victoria and Tasmania for several business and cultural engagements from 14 to 19 March.<\/p>\n
The royal couple has a close affinity with Australia, with then-Mary Donaldson having been born and raised in Tasmania and the couple meeting at a pub in Sydney during the 2000 Sydney Olympics, where then-Prince Frederik was representing Denmark as an IOC delegate.<\/p>\n
Frederik and Mary were married on 14 May, 2004, at Copenhagen Cathedral in Denmark, and have four children, Christian, Isabella, and twins Vincent and Josephine. They became King and Queen in January 2024 after Frederik\u2019s mother Queen Margrethe II abdicated.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said it was an honour to welcome them back to Australia.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is wonderful that the visit includes many parts of our great country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cDenmark and Australia are great friends, and together we are working to build a more sustainable, secure and peaceful future.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis visit is an opportunity to deepen our cooperation across a number of shared interests, such as sustainability, renewable energy and innovation.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir Majesties the King and Queen of Denmark have a very special connection with Australia, and I know Australians will welcome them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Danish Ambassador to Australia Ingrid Dahl-Madsen said the tour would be the first Danish state visit to Australia in almost 40 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it is a very special chance for our two countries to strengthen our close ties in a changing world,\u201d the Ambassador said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir Majesties are coming to Australia after only two years on the throne, and such an early visit is a testimony to the close and strong ties between Denmark and Australia. We are like-minded in so many ways.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am very pleased that around 55 Danish companies will participate in the visit under the joint official promotion, \u2018Partnering for a Green, Secure and Sustainable Tomorrow\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith a clear focus on renewable energy and green buildings, this provides a strong platform to deepen cooperation and turn our shared ambitions for the green transition into concrete partnerships.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe visit will build on the strategic partnership signed by Australia and Denmark in 2023 and is a chance to strengthen cooperation on a wide range of shared interests and values.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff confirmed his state would host the final leg of the royal visit.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited to welcome Queen Mary home as part of the royal visit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will be a significant national event, and it is fitting that Tasmania is the last stop on the royal visit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the first official visit to the state by their Majesties since 2005 \u2014 as Crown Prince and Princess of Denmark.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey will have the opportunity to experience our natural environment, world-class conservation efforts and leadership in sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
