But will the family – including Joachim's older brother Crown Prince Frederik, wife Crown Princess Mary and their four children – reunite for the Christmas period? It appears not.Traditionally, the royals spend the festive holiday at Marselisborg Palace in Aarhus. However, every couple of years, Fredrik, Mary and their family - Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent, and Princess Josephine - travel to Australia to spend Christmas with their maternal family.
It's the first time Crown Princess Mary has been able to travel to her homeland of Australia for an extended period with her family in five years. Before the coronavirus pandemic, the Crown Prince Family routinely switched back and forth between Denmark and Australia for holidays. Joachim, meanwhile, has also decided to spend time away from the Palace. A statement released by the royal court previously confirmed that he and his family will spend Christmas"on a long-planned trip abroad". It is not known exactly where they will travel to.
