Just days after supporting Danish athletes at the Paris 2024 Olympics, King Frederik and Queen Mary were reunited with Frederik’s brother, Prince Joachim, and Princess Marie.
The royals attended the funeral of Per Thornit, the former Chief of Court for Denmark’s royal family, at Holmens Church in Copenhagen on Thursday.
As they arrived at the service, they were each seen comforting Per’s widow, Ulla.
And in a photograph published by Billed Bladet, Frederik, 56, and Joachim, 55, were also spotted embracing one another, while Mary and Marie exchanged warm glances.
Mourners at the service were respectfully dressed in black with Mary, 52, wore a blouse, a pleated skirt and a wide-brimmed hat, while her sister-in-law Marie, 48, donned a trouser suit.
Mary was also seen sporting a plaster on her chin, with the Danish royal palace confirming to Billed Bladet, that the queen caught it while out horse riding.
Per Thornit, who died on 30 July 2024 aged 82, was a former Danish Lord Chamberlain before he became Frederik’s head of court when he was Crown Prince.
He is said to have given Australian-born Mary “princess lessons” before she married Frederik in 2004. He resigned from his position in 2010.
