The statement continued, “The first state visits will provide the occasion for the new king and queen to meet with the sovereigns in Sweden and Norway, and they will thus mark the close relations between the Nordic monarchies.”

Moreover, the official visit to the Faroe Islands and Greenland is “tentative” but for now it is expected that the Danish monarchs will visit in June and July this year.

Meanwhile, Frederik made his first overseas visit as King last week but the Queen did not join him.
