Next on the agenda for the day, the Crown Princely Couple take the Mexican President and First Lady to visit Kronborg Castle and the Maritime Museum, about 15 minutes drive east of Fredensborg.

"Kronborg Castle is a Renaissance castle from 1585. The castle was built by King Frederik II, with the aim of impressing guests from near and far. During their visit the Crown Princely Couple and the Presidential couple will be given a tour by a guide dressed in renaissance costume, and among other things, will talk about the history of the castle and King Frederick II and Queen Sophie's life in the castle. The tour starts in the courtyard and ends in the great hall. On arrival at Kronborg Castle the Royal Couple and the Presidential couple will be welcomed by Erik Als, director of Kronborg Castle, and Petra Sandén Azzi, event manager.

Kronborg Castle is today designated World Heritage by UNESCO."

Now onto the Maritime Museum.

"The visit is not just about the exhibition, but also the museum building. It is the work of famous Danish architect Bjarke Ingels. The museum's director, Ulla Tofte, will give a tour showing different sections of the museum's exhibitions and the museum's architecture," informs the Royal House website.

Benedikte, Joachim and Marie appear to be wearing Mexican Orders. Is it the Order of the Aztec Eagle?
