As the Danish royal family stepped out for their traditional Easter celebrations, royal watchers couldn’t stop talking about one thing: Prince Vincent’s height.

Queen Mary of Denmark and King Frederik X attended the Easter Mass service at Frederik’s Church, also known as the Marble Church, just a short walk across the palace square from their residence at Amalienborg on April 5.

The queen and her husband were joined by their four children: Prince Christian, 20, Princess Isabella, 20 and 15-year-old twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine.

The grown-up children were rugged up in stylish outfits – including blazers and coats – as they walked alongside their parents.

But it was Prince Vincent who stole the spotlight, with royal watchers pointing out he appears to be the same height, or even slightly taller, than his father, King Frederik.

‘Vincent must eat his greens – well that and sport and fabulous genes. He really has grown the past few months. I absolutely love this family,’ one said.

‘Vincent shot up. Those Aussie genes,’ another shared, laughing.

Others joked Prince Vincent’s impressive growth spurt may be the result of eating the Aussie classic breakfast dish, Vegemite on toast – a nod to his Tasmanian-born mother.

Elsewhere, royal fans were stunned to see all four children ‘grown so much’.

‘These children have grown up so quickly! The boys are so tall,’ one said.

‘My, they have grown up. Time flies,’ another shared.

‘Beautiful, we don’t get to see a lot of them. The children are all grown up,’ another added.

Prince Christian is noticeably taller than his father – but one fan joked: ‘Dad isn’t short, but he tries to “walk tall” beside Christian.’

Many credited the children’s growth to ‘Aussie genes’, but others noted that their grandmother, Queen Margrethe II, is also tall, standing at 1.82 metres.

‘Wow the children are so tall, like Queen Margrethe,’ one said.

‘Their Danish grandmother is very tall,’ another shared.

The royal family’s outing comes just weeks after Queen Mary and King Frederik’s royal visit to Australia.

King Frederik and Queen Mary attended the state banquet at Government House on March  15, where the monarch delivered a deeply personal address

At the state banquet held in Canberra on March 15, the King delivered a deeply personal and emotional speech reflecting on the fateful evening he met his Aussie-born future wife at a pub during the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

‘For me, Australia has held a very special place in my heart ever since I slipped into that bar and lost it in a conversation that has never ended,’ King Frederik recounted.

Frederik, 57, discussed how meeting Mary, 54, not only changed the course of his life but also intertwined the fates of two countries that, until then, were entirely disparate.

‘Once upon a time, Denmark perhaps did not resonate widely in Australia. Then something changed,’ the King explained.

‘In 2004, your Mary and I were married, and with that, Denmark once again had a Crown Princess.

‘From that moment on, everyone “Down Under” knew of the Nordic country “up over”.’

When Frederik and Mary tied the knot 22 years ago, he noted that Aussies and Danes alike suddenly ‘shared’ a real Princess.

Frederik’s heartfelt address also made special mention of the sacrifice Mary made in following her heart – leaving her beautiful home country behind and taking on the duties and responsibilities of being a Danish royal.

‘Mary, you had the courage to leave your beloved home and build a new one with me as far away as one can possibly go,’ Frederik shared with his wife and guests in attendance.

‘For that, I will be forever grateful.’

He added: ‘Australia is our second home. Whether we come here for a family visit or a State Visit, we feel both excited and entirely at ease.’
