The four photographs were taken by Franne Voigt.

The portraits come just a couple of months after he played a starring role in the TV program ‘Denmark Stands Together’, a documentary about Danish families during the COVID lockdown.

“I miss seeing my friends and spending more time practising sports and being more active,’ he told the program.

The Royal Family last visited Tasmania in 2015, when they reportedly spent Christmas with Princess Mary’s Hobart family.
