The very first state visit of the Danish royal couple is to Sweden.
On Monday, Frederik and Mary will come to Stockholm.
- It shows that they are close to us both as colleagues, relatives and friends and that the relationship between our countries is important, says court expert Sara Ericsson.
King Frederik and Queen Mary receive a historic welcome to Stockholm. For the first time in several decades, a visiting head of state is received with the royal sloop Vasaorden.
You probably remember it from the king's throne jubilee or the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel.
Frederik and Mary sail into Stockholm on the Danish royal ship Dannebrog. They are met by Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel who will travel together with the Danish royal couple in the Vasa Order to Skeppsbron where the Swedish royal couple will welcome them.

Salutes, astronauts and art
A cannon salute from Kastellholmen and Skeppsholmen will roar over the water when they arrive.
It will be a pompous, but also familiar state visit. Mary and Frederik are very close to the Swedish royal family.
- Crown Princess Victoria has said herself that she regards Frederik as a brother, says Sara Ericsson.
The two days are packed. The two royal couples will, among other things, visit KTH where they will meet the Swedish astronauts Christer Fuglesang and Marcus Wandt and the Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen. There will be talks about the role of space research and space technology for a sustainable future.
The focus of the state visit is, among other things, on defense and security. Therefore, the kings visit Stockholm's amphibious regiment in Berga. But they have also planned visits to the Nordic Museum and Prins Eugen's Waldemarsudde. Culture is also something that strengthens the ties between countries.
There will also be a focus on business, research and innovations.
