Queen Margrethe II and the Crown Prince Family attended an unveiling of a new portrait of Crown Prince Frederik on Thursday, 24 May 2018.

The portrait was at the National History Museum at Frederiksborg Castle as part of celebrations for his 50th birthday.

Australian-born artist Ralph Heimans painted the new portrait of Crown Prince Frederik which shows Crown Princess Mary and their children reflected in the mirror in Havesalaen at Fredensborg Palace.
