Thank you both for the pictures and links! 
Does anybody know the woman he is hugging? Seems to be a good friend.

I think it is the artist's wife or family member. Per Kirkeby died in May

It looks like Frederik knew Per well and attended a few events of his over the years
Hope we get more photos

Special anniversary tomorrow, Crown Prince participates in the celebration of Frederikshavn's 200th anniversary celebration. Kl. 10:00
On September 25, Frederikshavn celebrates that the city received its merchant rights 200 years ago, and changed its name from Fladstrand to Frederikshavn after King Frederik VI.
more info on this event, where Frederik will place his signature next to Frederik VIII and Frederik IX

So he hitched a ride aboard Dannebrog?
Very economical. Frederikshavn naval station is her home during the winter months and she was going there anyway.
Frederikhavn is located on the east coast of Northern Jutland.
In 1814, we lost Norway to Sweden, after having backed Napoleon after the British bombardment of Copenhagen in 1807. Our arch-enemy the Swedes under a new and dynamic king, Bernadotte, took the opportunity to seize Norway.
Norway and DK had been a dual-monarchy since the end of the Kalmar Union in the 1400's - in reality Norway was a province under the Danish realm - but let's be positive and look forward.
The Norwegians were not particularly keen about joining a "union" with Sweden though. They were old arch-enemies and the Norwegians would much rather be independent under their own, and for the time extremely progressive, enlightened and modern constitution. So the Swedes had to invade Norway, and after a short but determined resistance it was over.
What's that got to do with Frederikshavn you ask?
A lot! Because all of a sudden Denmark had no major harbor in the north. Kristianstad (Oslo) was lost and so was Trondhiem, also in Norway. So a sleepy fishing village was elevated to a harbor and renamed Frederikshavn (Frederik's Harbor) in 1818 - after we had recovered sufficiently after the state bankruptcy in 1814. That also meant that northern Jutland, which had until then been a far away, low populated, poor and under-developed part of the realm got a much needed injection.
Today Frederikhavn is a naval base as well as an important sea link between Jutland/Germany to Norway and Sweden.
And that's why something that would be otherwise pretty unimportant as a town turning only 200 years is marked by the Crown Prince himself.
