The Royal Yacht Dannebrog arrived in Grenaa Harbor Tuesday morning, marking the start of King Frederik and Queen Mary's visit to Norddjurs Municipality as part of their annual summer tour. The royal couple's itinerary for June 1-4 includes a walking tour of Grenaa's town center, visits to Glesborg School and Skovskolen Djursland, and a reception on board the Dannebrog.

Upon arrival, the royal couple was greeted by Mayor Kasper Bjerregaard and the Prince's Music Corps. The official reception is scheduled to take place at the Grenaa Town Hall following the guided city tour. Skovskolen Djursland, an institution that trains landscape engineers, forest and nature technicians, and nature guides, will host the royals, where students will discuss their work as arborists.

The visit will also include the planting of the King's Oak, a winter oak tree expected to live for 500 years, symbolizing the royal couple's connection to the region. The tour highlights the royal family's continued engagement with Danish municipalities and their commitment to visiting various regions across the country.
