Queen Mary of Denmark could secretly be planning another trip Down Under without her husband, King Frederik, royal watchers claim.
Her last visit coincided with the one-year anniversary of her 56-year-old husband’s ‘night out’ with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova in November.
She appeared happy as she frolicked with friends at Manly Beach, and spent time in the sun with her youngest daughter Princess Josephine in the Eastern Suburbs.
The Queen was seemingly shrugging off cruel rumours and speculations about her ‘fairytale’ marriage and looked relaxed as she bobbed around in the salt water.
She had made another dash Down Under in December 2023, just weeks after photos showing her husband spending time with his friend Ms Casanova were released.
During that trip the then Crown Princess took her two youngest children on Sydney‘s famous bridge climb, one of the mum-of-four’s favourite activities.
Now, fans speculate, she could be planning a ‘women only’ trip to Melbourne – a city where the monarch lived and worked as an account manager in advertising before meeting her husband.
The speculation comes after the Women Deliver conference revealed Melbourne to be the next destination for its tri-annual conference.
The conference which celebrates women and feminism will be held between April 27 and 30, 2026.
Queen Mary has supported the conference, and attended as an honoured guest since it was kickstarted in 2007.
In 2013 she was pictured alongside Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Dutch Princess Mabel at the conference in Malaysia.
She then acted as Patron in 2016 when the conference headed to Copenhagen, and attended the Canadian conference in 2019.
She didn’t appear to be present for the 2023 event in Kigali, Rwanda but could have attended online.
Queen Mary hasn’t been to Australia ‘on official business’ since April 2023 where she was tasked with cycling through the streets of Sydney for a path launch.
The royal couple are said to have hired a new communications expert to help with their public image after King Frederik’s alleged friendship with Ms Casanova continued to dominate the news cycle in 2024.
Danish journalist Nina Munch-Perrin will take the reigns from February 1, according to Tatler.
