- Is it probably the king now?
When the Danish royal couple planted a tree outside the Modern Museum, the royal party elicited bursts of laughter from the visitors.
The Swedish king jokingly "judged" his younger colleague.
King Frederik and Queen Mary planted an apple tree of the Gråsten variety outside the museum. King Frederik grabbed the spade and began to shovel soil over the trunk.
Proper sods.
But King Carl Gustaf was not satisfied.
- A little more there too! said the king with a laugh.
- And there!
-.... two hours later! Frederik snorted and took an extra sod to the audience's delight.
Then he finished and was met with applause.

Mary's wink to the king
Then it was Mary's turn to water the newly planted tree. In sky-high stilettos, she took small steps around the trunk and splashed the watering can over the soil. And then she looked up at "Uncle Carl Gustaf" and asked:
- Is it enough?
The king was on board and let her wait a few seconds before he approved the whole thing with a: "Now!".
Crown Princess Victoria laughed out loud.
The Danish state visit is coming to an end and it ended in the best possible way.
Two generations of kings have met, one who holds the record for the number of regnal years - and one who is the very newest in the industry.
King Frederik was asked what he thought of his very first state visit as King of Denmark.
- Fantastic! It was amazing from start to finish, he noted with a big smile.

Has strengthened the ties between the countries
Two royal families who are colleagues, friends and family have spent two days in each other's company. The strong bonds have become even stronger.
But they have also succeeded in security matters. A declaration of intent has been signed by the defense ministers of both countries regarding closer and stronger defense cooperation between the countries.
