From Boat to Spaghetti Bolognese
King Frederik X. (57), known as Frederik in the Danish palace circles, kicked off the morning in the city of Ribe. A selfie from a boat started his day, while his wife, Queen Mary (53), playfully joked about leaving two family dogs behind in Korsør. The palace released a picture of her squatting down in front of the two furry friends. In Viborg, their eldest son, Crown Prince Christian (19), completed a 5-kilometer run representing Denmark. A photo shows him in the car on the way to the city.
Over 97,500 participants joined the royals in multiple Danish cities, including Horsens and Copenhagen. The royal family thanked everyone on social media with a photo of their other children—Princess Isabella (18), Prince Vincent (14), and his twin sister, Princess Josephine—also dressed for the occasion.
And what's a day of sport without some comfort food? According to family tradition, they enjoy a hearty Spaghetti Bolognese after the Royal Run.
