A royal reunion: Prince Frederik flies to New Zealand on a separate plane to meet Princess Mary and the twins – a month after ‘affair’ scandal
Crown Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik appear to have reunited in New Zealand’s holiday hotspot Queenstown for a family getaway after their family was rocked by ‘affair’ rumors last month.
Mary, 51, was spotted landing on a private jet alongside her youngest children, Princess Josephine and Prince Vincent, both 12.
Meanwhile, her husband Frederik, 55, arrived with their second eldest child, Princess Isabella, 16, after attending the COP28 summit in Dubai.
The Crown Princess wore plain black pants, a blue long-sleeved top and dark shades on the tarmac where she climbed into a black SUV.
She wore her hair neatly pulled back and clutched her $6,000 Ralph Lauren bag.

The Crown Prince made a much louder entrance wearing a checked jacket, a blue scarf that matched his wife’s shirt and a pair of striking, highly reflective, polarized sunglasses.
He grinned when he saw photographers and appeared to punch the air as he walked toward the hangar.
The Danish royals have not yet been spotted together, but appear to be having an early Christmas holiday.
The family holiday follows Princess Mary’s most low-key visit to Australia ever.
The popular royal, who hails from Tasmania, usually makes a number of public appearances Down Under – or is spotted ‘running around town’ by the paparazzi.
But she has barely been seen since landing in Sydney on December 6 – without her husband – leading many people to speculate that she was hiding the fallout from Prince Frederik’s night out with a Mexican socialite in Madrid from the media last month.

Prince Christian, who recently turned 18, has not been spotted in New Zealand.
The family could miss Queen Margrethe’s annual Christmas party at Marselisborg Castle in Aarhus, which starts on December 19.
The Danish royal family was shocked by photos published in October showing Prince Frederik enjoying a night out in Madrid with 47-year-old socialite Genoveva Casanova.
While Spanish magazine Lecturas published the photos and claimed the couple had spent the evening at a bodega in the Spanish capital, where they watched flamenco dancing and dined until the early hours, Genoveva hit back at ‘malicious’ rumors that she was in a relationship with the heir to the Spanish capital. the Danish throne.
Since the photos emerged, Princess Mary has remained tight-lipped about her husband’s dinner with the socialite, and the pair have made public appearances together.
