Then it really is about time they return IMO.
Yes, they are very fond of Greenland! - The fewer visit may have something to do with the political climate on the islands. There are many who wish for the islands to become independent. Some of those again wish to keep QMII as monarch though.
So official visits from Denmark can easily be used politically and in a very small society it doesn't take long for small things to be blow way out of proportion! - Because as with other small societies there
is a tendency of the world ending about 500 km from Thorshavn (the capital)...
Anyway, here is a video of QMII on the first day, arriving with Dannebrog:

The locals are interviewed and they are pleased with the visit. One saying that QMII is a good sport (*) and cool for coming alone, and that they would liked PH to have been there with her.
However, a gentleman standing on a balcony things it's good the Prince is in France... I think that remark is open to interpretation.
(*) The work here is "frisk", which means fresh, but said about a person it can also mean something like being a good sport, certainly in this context. But it also means someone who is outgoing, willing to do or undertake something, or who is showing initiative, who is not timid. - Say like a child who opens a lemonade stand, that child would be called "frisk".
An archetypical boy who comes home dirty and with the knees scraped after having climbed trees all day is also called "frisk".
Have our English and Danish speakers a suggestion for a word in English covering that?
As a follow up:
QMII's visit is actually and to my slight surprise well covered in the media.
Today the focus on TV2 was that the Faeroese would very much like to be visited by her children.
Joachim hasn't been there since 1978 and M&F not since 2005 - and that is admittedly not very impressive!
QMII was told her children was missed and asked whether would tell them at home. She sure would.
Another little trivia. QMII wore the national costume for the first time back in 1959.
ADDED:
A video from BB:

Here QMII talks about the costume she is wearing.
It's actually the same as she got 57 years ago.
The scarf and the apron has been replaced, but you are supposed to keep the same costume from when you get it. Of course with the odd changes in size.
And I must correct myself. The Faeroese costumes are not specific to an island or hamlet, like in DK. They have different patterns and this happened to be the patterns given to QMII.
