The Danish royal family has come under fire over their 'unprofessional' way of ruling over the Easter long weekend.
The Danish people have slammed the royal house for going 'back in time' by using the flag system to hint as to who is home rather than using an official calendar.
The flag method goes against the King's promise to bring the monarchy into the future and, as his people have complained, actually drags it backward.
To make matters worse for the crown, the Palace had put out an official statement claiming the entire family was abroad for the weekend and the country would be back under Queen Margrethe's rule as regent.
This was directly contradicted by the flying flag over their home at Amalienborg over the weekend which pointed to King Frederik, Queen Mary or Prince Christian being home.
The 'flag method' has been slammed as unprofessional by Danes, who say they should always know who is in charge and at home - without having to head to the palace to see
When Daily Mail Australia asked the palace who was home they simply repeated the statement that the family was on holiday and the regent was in charge.
Danish tabloid B.T claim it was Mary who failed to jet off with the rest of the family on time, spending much of Easter alone.
Communications advisor Anne Thygesen told the tabloid the game of flags did not look good for the palace.
'It shouldn't be a guesswork, a puzzle or a detective work to find out who is the country's head of state. It sounds like it was almost the step before Morse code, runes and carrier pigeons - so very, very old-fashioned,' she said.
The press, and Danish citizens shouldn't have to go to the palace to see which flags are up to know who is in charge, she explained, which is what has been happening.
The family were supposed to be on holiday together - abroad - according to the palace communications however the old-school flag method revealed that to be false
She said relying on flags makes it easier for rumours to start.
'I don't really think that they had a bad intention, but it just seems unprofessional, because maybe you didn't want to tell them that Mary didn't come along for the first few days, when she had to fix something at home,' she said.
The new monarchs are no strangers to rumours and have been ignoring talk of infidelity since the King - then a Prince - was photographed in Madrid with another woman.
The woman at the centre of the scandal, socialite Genoveva Casanova, has dismissed any romance between the pair and said they are just friends.
It has been rumoured that Queen Mary was the one to stay home while the others went on holiday
But the palace has only said they refuse to respond to rumours.
The flag debacle caused many Danes to joke that the King went on his own holiday over Easter to Madrid which they claim must be his destination of choice.
'Honesty creates trust whereas secrets creates gossip and distrust. What has been done can never be undone, no matter how persistent one tries and others try.'
Others defended their King.
'You don't have to assume that the King was supposed to travel down there before the rest of the family "happy to come". Unless you know the King personally and he has told you, there is no need to spread bad rumors about him. This is true whether you like the man or not,' snarled one.
