The Danish royals have posed together for a rare and loving photoshoot outside the palace in Denmark, showing just how much Princess Mary’s four children have grown recently.
In the sweet photograph, posted on social media, Aussie-born Mary and husband Prince Frederik can be seen posing happily alongside their four children and Queen Margrethe, with their arms wrapped around each other.
Proud grandma Margrethe takes centre spot in one of the beautiful images in a lovely green and pink patterned dress, with her grandkids Isabella, Josephine, Christian and Vincent sporting casual clothes for the laidback snap.
Meanwhile, parents Mary and Frederik look equally as joyous and relaxed outside Grasten Palace, as they stand either side of their children with huge smiles on their faces.
Another beautiful moment was captured earlier in the day by the Danish royal family, showing the queen giving her grandson Vincent a warm embrace as she arrived at the castle.
Fans were quick to comment on the photographs with many noticing how tall the eldest child of the royal couple has got and how much he looks like his father.
“Prince Christian is taller than his grandmother and soon as tall as his parents,” one person wrote on Instagram. “He is Europe’s most handsome prince.”
While another added: “Prince Christian is his dad’s mini me! Adorable kids!”

“An amazing image of a proud and happy grandmother,” someone said on Instagram.
“Nothing like summertime spent with granny, she just happens to be a queen.”

It has been a couple of weeks since Aussie born Princess Mary was spotted out and about, last seen sporting an eye-popping hot pink dress for an event in Copenhagen.
The 47-year-old was a special guest at a reception that celebrated the strong relationship between Denmark and Australia. Other special guests included representatives from the European Australian Business Council and a number of Danish businessmen.
The mother-of-four opted for a stunning long-sleeve dress and accessorised with a pair of tan heels, a vibrant red purse, as well as a glitzy pair of earrings and a necklace. The royal – who regularly experiments with different hairstyles – wore her luscious brunette locks straight for the event.
