The exact location of their Easter getaway remains undisclosed, but a Palace spokesperson clarified that Queen Margrethe had to assume state duties in Frederik’s absence.
Despite the controversy, Melchior assured that the King and Queen are committed to their roles, with plans for extensive public appearances in the near future.
