King Frederik X and Queen Mary are paying a state visit to Australia from 14 to 19 March 2026. On the morning of 15 March 2026, accompanied by a guide, the King and Queen visited the Muṯitjulu Waterhole at Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park to experience the sunrise over Uluṟu. For the Aṉangu, the site and the landscape surrounding Uluṟu, also known as Ayers Rock, are closely connected to their culture and spiritual relationship with the land.
After sunrise, the King and Queen continued around the monumental rock, completing the entire hiking trail around Uluṟu, which is nearly ten kilometres long. The stay at Uluṟu formed part of the Royal Couple’s state visit to Australia. Later on Sunday, the King and Queen travelled to Canberra. They will also visit Melbourne and Hobart during the state visit.

حذفThey are dressed appropriately for our
Outback .Having said that I do find Fred's hat a little quirky.
Cate.
Yes! Isn’t that cool? She’s worn linen which required ironing but it always lovely to wear, where’s he’s gone straight for the quick dry hiking clothes which I love to see. Hope they have a great time. She perhaps has always wanted to share this special part of Australia with him. And they couldn’t have seen it in more special conditions then this year’s mega rain, flooding and greening.
حذفDear Cate,
حذفI always appreciate well informed comments on royal trips abroad.
Thank you for your contributing first hand experience as a native Aussie.
What you wrote about Mary's rewears is true as well.
Cheers.
P. the original
The hat could be an austr. army boony, so fashion diplomacy? And it is very practical, but an Akruba would look better...
حذفanna e.
Love King Frederick’s HAT… 😁
ردحذفMary looks fabulous, the colour choice is exactly the same conscious one she made the day before, muted "natural" colours. - Hopefully nobody is coming along wishing for magenta or red to enliven the sartorial space :-) . Alone, that sun hat of Frederik is just a tiny step too far into ridiculous terrain. There are very good alternatives out there.
ردحذفNo trips to Madrid anymore
ردحذفThat we know of! 😄
حذفTenue super décontractée qui leur change des tenues officielles !
ردحذفLooking att the sunrise early in the morning ( after a loooong flight) they really look fresh both of them.
ردحذفA hat swap could have been better.
ردحذفThey look great, linen a good choice for a hot hike. I like the quirky hat it suit him well.
ردحذفThe kings hat looks like an Australian army camouflage boonie hat.
ردحذفShorts is not that fine,but she is lovely as always.
ردحذفShe looks soooooooooooooo happy to be back in the country where she was born........GREAT!!!!!
ردحذفThey look like they are really enjoying themselves at the moment.
ردحذفThis is great, they were able to experience this. What a sight to behold. They both look appropriately dressed for this visit.
ردحذفOh, how I wish to have been a fly on the wall when the king picked this outfit. He absolutely came prepared & seems to be having a blast! Mary looks good - you can tell she's in her element.
ردحذف-Nika-
The hat of the king and the linen bermuda (?) of the queen are a bit ridiculous.
ردحذفThe king is wearing good pants which can be made shorter with the zipper.
The queen is wearing a better hat than the king but the bermuda would be better in cotton more like the quality of the king's pants. I hope she is wearing hiking shoes and not black sneakers. I also hope she put an anti insect lotion on her legs or is it not necessary in Australia this time of the year ? I say this because I myself has a fear for insects with a reason. I'd prefer long cotton trousers to protect myself against insect bites.
16:51 australia is huge. Depends where you are as to what insects there might be. Generally the outback is very dry and mozzies are no problem, and flies won’t be easy when they walk at sunrise.
