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<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Swedish royal, 46, was beaming with joy as she greeted children waving the national flag during her trip to Suomenlinna Sea Fortress\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
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\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Prince Daniel looked equally smart in a trendy double breasted suit.<\/p>\n
Victoria and Daniel, who share two children, Princess Estelle, 11, and Prince Oscar, seven, celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary this year.<\/p>\n
Previously a gym owner, Daniel, who was born Olof Daniel Westling, met Victoria at a training session before the pair began dating in 2002.<\/p>\n
The couple announced their highly-anticipated engagement in 2009 and tied the knot a year later.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the television interview, Daniel had slammed what he labelled a ‘mean and false rumour’ about his marriage to Sweden’s heir apparent.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
‘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.<\/p>\n
‘I don’t think there is any sane person who believes in this rumour.’<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The heir to the throne swept her hair into a neat bun for the occasion, and opted for minimal makeup<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The couple were greeted by cheering schoolchildren who were waving the country’s flag during the outing<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n
Their appearance came after a busy week for the couple, who\u00a0\u00a0put on a glittering display as they arrived for King Carl Gustaf’s Golden Jubilee celebration in Stockholm last week.<\/p>\n
She\u00a0wowed in a voluminous orange gown while her sister Princess Madeleine, 41, donned a stunning strapless outfit in lilac.<\/p>\n
Sister-in-law Princess Sofia, 39, chose an eye-catching fuscia pink dress for the evening.<\/p>\n
The royals were also joined by King Carl Gustaf, Prince Daniel and Prince Carl Philip in Stockholm.<\/p>\n
Carl Gustaf, 77, is the first king in the Swedish monarchy\u2019s more than 1,000-year history to reach 50 years on the throne.<\/p>\n
And following the death of Queen Elizabeth II last year, he\u2019s the second-longest reigning European monarch alive today, after Queen Margrethe, who celebrated her 50th anniversary on Denmark\u2019s throne last year.<\/p>\n
The jubilee was four days of celebrations that culminated with a military parade through the capital.<\/p>\n
