Crown Princess Mary is heading Down Under for Christmas

Crown Princess Mary of Denmark will be spending Christmas with her family in Australia. 

The Danish royal will be joined by her husband Crown Prince Frederik and their four children Prince Christian, 17, Princess Isabella, 15, and twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, 11, as the family celebrate the festive season. 

It will be their first private visit to Australia in five years. 

The Danish royal household confirmed the Crown Prince family's Australian holiday in a statement on Thursday morning.

"In December, the Crown Prince family will travel on a private Christmas holiday in Australia to celebrate the holiday together with HRH the Crown Princess's family," the palace said.

"It has been five years since the Crown Prince couple together with their four children last visited the Crown Princess's homeland."

Crown Princess Mary has family in both Tasmania, where she was born, and in Western Australia. 

The royal was last seen with her family in Australia in 2017, and were spotted spending time at a number of Sydney's beaches, including Palm Beach where Crown Princess Mary enjoyed the sun with friends as Crown Prince Frederik tried his hand at surfing.
