At 11:00 queen Margrethe, prince Henrik and the crown prince couple were at the Amalienborg Museum, housed at Christian VIIIs Palae, to open the exhibition "Margrethe II" that retraced Margrethe's life through paintings and other artefacts.

In the evening both couples were in each other's company again at Fredensborg Palace where they greeted the crowd of locals who had come to sing to them at the end of the traditional torch light walk, celebrating the queen taking up her annual residence at Fredensborg Slot.

Mary wore a new jacket by Joseph.

Around this time Mary's third pregnancy started. At this stage it was still very private, and the couple possibly wasn't aware yet they would be having twins.
