Yes, minor presents from the public, like scarves or a dress for one of the children or something like that are and can be worn without problems.
And more official presents, they are vetted though, like furnitures or a handmade garden bench, a fur hat or something like that. - Such presents also come without conditions, but of course they earn brownie points and if the present is published it a good indirect advertisement.
Then there are favors. Like putting a luxury yacht at disposal for a week in the Mediterranean. If the donator is not a part of the closer circle of friends, that is vetted as well and it is made clear that there can be no conditions made and that no return favors can be expected.
Of course the DRF also have friends staying at their places, like at Chateau Cayz and Trend and what not. - But only when the DRF are there as well!
However, considering that a number of the closer friends of the DRF own their own manors it's hardly a big deal.
Then there are discounts of course.
Even though they are not allowed to advertise the fact, it is seen as good money spend, if royals are seen to wear or known to use products from a certain company, certainly well worth a nice discount.
Finally, but not least, promotion. The DRF often wear or are publicly presented with Danish products, that are also on the export market. Like jewellery, fur, clothes, furnitures, decorative designs for the home and so on. - Some of the products are on loan or at permanent disposal, like the specially made tiaras.
That is actually encouraged, as it is seen to help the export of danish products, ensuring jobs and income.
