The royals’ visit came days after Mary was given a new royal role from her mother-in-law Queen Margrethe II. On October 2, the Danish Royal Palace announced that the Crown Princess could now act as regent. “As acting regent, The Crown Princess will, from now on, be able to attend to The Queen’s duties as head of state when The Queen and The Crown Prince are prevented from doing so, for example during a stay abroad,” the statement read. Her Majesty’s sons, Crown Prince Frederik and Joachim, as well as her sister Princess Benedikte can also act as regents.
