Prince Frederik and Prince Christian are then seen moving the ladder to adorn the opposite side of the tree.

They hang red baubles toward the top of the Christmas tree, with Mary holding the container of baubles and Prince Vincent handing them to his brother and father.

Close ups of some of the ornaments reveal an elaborate Santa decoration and a wider shot shows other Christmas decorations, which have been set up at Amalienborg for the festive season.

The video, which has been shared on all the Danish royal family's social media accounts, is accompanied by the following words which have been translated into English.

"Christmas greetings from the Crown Prince family, who recently decorated the family Christmas tree in the Hall of Knights in Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg."

The Danish royals are taking some time out over the holidays following what has been a busy and somewhat tumultuous year.

Frederik and Mary attended the COP28 climate summit in Dubai in December. Just weeks earlier they had hosted King Felipe and Queen Letizia who toured Denmark, with the group visiting Glyptoteket Museum in Copenhagen with members of the royal family, including Queen Margrethe and her sister Princess Benedikte.

The family has remained steadfast following reports of an inappropriate relationship between Crown Prince Frederik and model and TV personality Genoveva Casanova.

The claims have been strongly denied by Casanova.
