Queen Mary of Denmark has admitted to feeling 'overwhelmed' since stepping up to the throne - after her husband attempted to put 'affair' rumours to bed in a gushing interview.
The royal couple gave their first interview as King and Queen, describing their feelings about taking over from Queen Margrethe, how they feel they've been accepted and what they see for the future.
They sat side-by-side in the interview, with King Frederik emphasising the couple's united front by using the word 'we' instead of 'I' countless times.
'We have embarked on our calling and our work, which symbolically happens with this action on the royal ship. It is very special,' he said.
Royal House commentator Jakob Steen Olsen believes the interview, including its delayed timing, suggests the couple wish to move forward as one after months of nasty affair rumours.
He says the pointed language suggests the pair wish to 'get off to a good start without any unpleasant questions or agendas'.
Queen Mary of Denmark admitted she's been feeling 'overwhelmed' since stepping up to the throne - after her husband attempted to put 'affair' rumours to bed in a gushing speech
They sat side-by-side in the interview, with King Frederik emphasising the couple's united front by using the word 'we' instead of 'I' countless times
Their relationship has been under the microscope since November last year when photos were published showing the then Crown Prince out in Madrid with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova.
The pair went out to a restaurant, strolled through the city, visited an art exhibition and even went to Genoveva's apartment for two hours according to reports at the time.
Queen Margrethe's abdication was widely rumoured to be a damage control tactic for the royal couple.
Since the rumoured affair, every photograph of the King and Queen has been inundated with comments and speculation about their love and happiness.
Many fans voiced their disappointment with the King and their love for the Queen who is revered as 'cool, calm, collected and always in style'.
Mr Olsen said the television interview was the perfect 'launching pad' for the couple who have been relatively tight-lipped since the scandal.
The couple put on a united front which warmed the hearts of their fans
He said the television station would have had strict guidelines for the interview, as decreed by the royal house.
In the same interview, Queen Mary, who grew up in Tasmania, admitted to being overwhelmed 'at times' in her new role.
'It is very new and there are many changes and decisions,' she said.
She sounded confident, however, and believes that once they have moved past the transition period she will become more settled.
She also reflected on the moment her husband became King.
'I stood with the children and when you stepped out onto the balcony towards your fate, it was a moment that moved me incredibly much. We could hear and feel it, even if we couldn't see it. It was a beautiful moment. I was both very happy and very proud,' she gushed.
The couple said they would concentrate on the everyday tasks and traditional engagements before adding their own influence as King and Queen.
It comes after much commentary on their relationship following the King's 'night out' in Madrid last year with Genoveva Casanova
The interview happened during one of the most traditional tasks for the monarch - the annual visit to Sweden and other neighboring countries aboard the royal ship Dannebrog.
Photos and videos from the boat show the King and Queen acting playful, linking arms and chatting to excited fans.
'They look like they have made up!' said one.
'Good to see them laughing together again,' said another.
