Taking to Instagram, King Frederik’s wife, 52, posted a photograph of herself listening to a podcast in a pair of black trousers and a matching turtle neck jumper.
Sporting a pair of stylish glasses and earphones, the mother-of-four looked engrossed in the podcast as she held her phone in her hands.

The post read: “I’m extremely excited to be listening to a podcast.
“I often listen when I have to move from one place to another.
“Some days I’m in the mood for entertainment and other days I use it to gain knowledge and new input.
“That is why I am also proud that we have now thrown ourselves into making a podcast in the Mary Foundation.

“Our first podcast is called ‘Lonely youth’, and through three short episodes, it gives a thorough insight into the nuances of loneliness by mixing expertise and personal stories from young people.
“We know from the study ‘Loneliness in Denmark’ that 73 per cent of 16-19 year olds experience loneliness, whether they are alone or with others. At the same time, 17 per cent of 16-24 year olds feel very lonely.
“These are heavy numbers that we need to do something about. A podcast is not something we much experience with yet in the Mary Foundation, but I hope you will listen and feel welcome.”
Mary is following in the footsteps of royals including the Duchess of Sussex, Queen Camilla and Princess Eugenie in launching a podcast.

Meghan’s audio show Archetypes, described as “a podcast where we investigate, dissect, and subvert the labels that try to hold women back”, first launched on Spotify in August 2022.
When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s lucrative deal with Spotify ended in 2023, Meghan signed a deal with Lemonada Media.
Previously only available on Spotify, Archetypes was released on all platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Audible and Spotify, on March 5, 2024.
However, the Duchess of Sussex is yet to release any new podcast material with Lemonada Media, despite signing a deal with the company earlier this year.
