Australia: Danish Crown Prince denied entry to Brisbane bar
However, the 49-year-old Prince was later allowed entry with the help of diplomatic protection from police.
Queensland has strict rules for getting entry in areas which sells alcohol.
Entry seekers require to produce either their driving licence or passport as valid identification in order to enter such premises.
According to provincial government, the law was introduced in the month of July "to minimise the risk of alcohol-related harm".
The co-owner of the bar, Phil Hogan, told the Brisbane Courier Mail that the new rules were a nightmare.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg with the prince. It's happening all the time with normal people," he said.
The incident has been criticised by the paper, who termed the new rule as 'draconian'.
It said, that the "cringe inducing blunder resulting from the draconian lockout laws, which are regularly catching out backpackers, foreign tourists and business travellers".
It is notable that Prince Frederik had famously met his wife Mary in a pub in Sydney during the 2000 Olympics.
