Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden looked radiant in a burgundy ensemble as she visited a maritime fortress in Helsinki with her husband Prince Daniel yesterday.

The Swedish royal, 46, was beaming with joy as she greeted children waving the national flag during her trip to Suomenlinna Sea Fortress.

Suomenlinna, which is the most famous of the island’s off Helsinki’s coastline, was  a formidable sea fortress founded in 1748 when Finland was under Swedish rule as a defence against the Russians. 

The mother-of-two opted for a trendy monochrome outfit for the outing, perfectly coordinating her blouse, trousers and coat, as well as her earrings and handbag.

She swept her hair into a neat bun for the occasion, and opted for minimal makeup.

Meanwhile Prince Daniel looked equally smart in a trendy double breasted suit.

Victoria and Daniel, who share two children, Princess Estelle, 11, and Prince Oscar, seven, celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary this year.

Previously a gym owner, Daniel, who was born Olof Daniel Westling, met Victoria at a training session before the pair began dating in 2002.

The couple announced their highly-anticipated engagement in 2009 and tied the knot a year later.

But their joint appearance this week comes as they continue to put on a united front in the face of swirling rumours about the state of their marriage.

In August, Daniel denied that there has been infidelity in his marriage and that the couple were ever on the brink of divorce in a rare television interview. 

In the television interview, Daniel had slammed what he labelled a ‘mean and false rumour’ about his marriage to Sweden’s heir apparent.

He lashed out at those circulating the suggestions on social media and in parts of the Swedish press, saying the claims had had ‘serious consequences’ for his family.

‘Many friends from across Sweden and overseas have got in touch and things arrived at a certain point where we felt we could no longer accept it,’ he revealed.

‘I don’t think there is any sane person who believes in this rumour.’

Sweden’s royal court was forced to deny reports last year that an ‘incredible betrayal’ had brought Victoria and Daniel’s marriage to a point of crisis.

Their appearance came after a busy week for the couple, who  put on a glittering display as they arrived for King Carl Gustaf’s Golden Jubilee celebration in Stockholm last week.

She wowed in a voluminous orange gown while her sister Princess Madeleine, 41, donned a stunning strapless outfit in lilac.

Sister-in-law Princess Sofia, 39, chose an eye-catching fuscia pink dress for the evening.

The royals were also joined by King Carl Gustaf, Prince Daniel and Prince Carl Philip in Stockholm.

Carl Gustaf, 77, is the first king in the Swedish monarchy’s more than 1,000-year history to reach 50 years on the throne.

And following the death of Queen Elizabeth II last year, he’s the second-longest reigning European monarch alive today, after Queen Margrethe, who celebrated her 50th anniversary on Denmark’s throne last year.

The jubilee was four days of celebrations that culminated with a military parade through the capital.
