After a quick bow Mary, the Crown Princess of Denmark, skips around her dance partner before reaching out a hand for her husband to take.

The tender moment between the Australian-born princess and husband Frederik, the Crown Prince of Denmark, was captured at an official engagement on September 24 and later shared by the royal family on Instagram.

In video from the evening, royal followers were given a rare glimpse into Mary's royal life.

The royal couple, who celebrated 18 years of marriage in May, this year hosted more than 350 guests at the event at Christiansborg Castle.

The first time the traditional event took place at the castle was in 1958.

The video snippet was the first time Princess Mary has been seen by members of the public since the "regrettable error" that saw her absent at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral.

Many foreign royals were invited to farewell Her Majesty at her State Funeral in London last week due to their close ties to the late monarch, including those from Denmark.

Denmark's Queen Margrethe II is a third cousin to Elizabeth II, being a great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria.

Britain's Foreign Office admitted that a "regrettable error" had been made.
