Future king of Denmark Crown Prince Frederick has arrived in Hobart to spend quality time with his family.

But all did not go to plan. He was left waiting for Princess Mary who was not home when he arrived.

Prince Frederick and his security guards arrived on a budget airline just before noon, and he was whisked away to see his wife and children.

But when he arrived at the Princess's sister's house in west Hobart, no one was home.

After a quick call to his wife, Prince Frederick was left waiting.

Danish magazines have been specualting about what sort of reception he would get from Princess Mary, after it was revealed he let his hair down at a playboy themed nightclub in Beijing.

But it seems all has been forgiven.

As the Princess drove up to the house, the Crown Prince raced around to the back of car to get his two-year-old son Christian.

Princess Mary greeted her husband with a kiss and then retrieved one-year-old Isabella from the car.

The Crown Prince also greeted his nieces and the Princess Mary's best friend Amber Petty.

With both children in his arms, the Prince was all smiles.

The Danish royals are expected to leave Tasmania on Thursday.
