Royal Couple to Tour in Assens and Vejle

King Frederik and Queen Mary are set to conduct a late summer tour, visiting Bornholm, Ærø, Assens, and concluding in Vejle from August 19 to 22, the royal house has announced. Assens, celebrating its 500th anniversary, eagerly anticipates the royal visit. Mayor Søren Steen Andersen promises a festive day filled with local projects and initiatives for the community and visitors. The royal couple will begin the sailing season on May 2 aboard the ‘Dannebrog’ and will meet with Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson next week. Additionally, they plan visits to Greenland and the Faroe Islands during June and July. This will be their first season aboard ‘Dannebrog,’ which has been in service since 1932 and serves as a residence for the royal family’s summer tours and official visits.
