explained to B.T<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cTypically, you will be one of the last to board, and then you drive up to the plane, get in, and sit down.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen you will also be one of the first to get off when the plane lands.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former bodyguard explained that the safety of the royals is of upmost importance and is always assessed prior to the flight taking off. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou consider that every time, and you never want the entire royal family on the same plane,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Crown Prince doesn\u2019t want to be on the same plane as his parents. It is about securing the future of the Royal House, if, in the extreme, something were to happen to a member of the Royal Family during a flight.\u201d<\/p>\n
This rule also applies to holidays, they all fly in separately, which was the case with a recent vacation to Chateau de Cayx in France.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I look back, it has always been the case that the Queen was present, the Crown Prince came later and the princes dropped in, it seems natural and you don\u2019t think about it, but then we all end up in Cayx,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot everyone flew to the location at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a statement from the Kongehuset (Danish Royal Family), the intention of the trip is to \u201cfurther develop the already strong relations between Australia and Denmark, both culturally, economically, and in terms of foreign policy\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cA strengthened partnership with Australia is particularly important at a time when geopolitical shifts have economic and security implications that link developments in Europe and the Indo-Pacific region,\u201d the statement released on January 30 read.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuilding on the strategic partnership between Australia and Denmark signed in 2023, the state visit aims to enhance co-operation across a broad range of areas, including the green transition and economic security.\u201d<\/p>\n
The tour announcement also highlighted that the trip would have a \u201cgreen focus\u201d with the royals travelling to Australia accompanied by the Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities, along with a large business delegation.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreen transition will be a key focus of the visit,\u201d the announcement continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cFifty-five accompanying Danish companies will participate in the official business promotion initiative \u2018Partnering for a Green, Secure and Sustainable Tomorrow.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The tour is the Danish King and Queen\u2019s first to Australia since Frederik became monarch two years ago following his mother\u2019s abdication.<\/p>\n
Queen Mary was last in Australia, on official business, for a one-day solo visit on April 28, 2023, when she was still Crown Princess. <\/p>\n
Other official visits were with King Frederik \ufeffin 2013, 2011, 2008 and in 2005.<\/p>\n
Mary and her family have quietly travelled down under for private family holidays on at least seven other occasions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
