A warm welcome awaited Charles and Camilla as they touched down in Copenhagen.
Denmark's Crown Prince Fredrik and Crown Princess Mary were ready to greet them on the runway - and the Prince of Wales certainly seemed happy to see at least one of them.
After stepping off the plane, the 63-year-old royal planted his lips on the hand of the glamorous Danish princess, 40, holding her gaze as he did so.

On the tarmac next to them, meanwhile, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Fredrik opted for a more reserved handshake.
Cultural events will be high on the agenda for the final leg of the couple's visit to Scandinavia.
They arrived in Copenhagen's Kastrup Airport after trips to Norway and Sweden.
After they were greeted by the Danish royals, it was time for their first official engagement - a service of Holy Communion at St Alban's Anglican Church.
