Looks like Crown Prince Frederik went there June 2000.
Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark returned to Copenhagen after five months. He and the five other members of the Sirius 2000 expedition finished their great journey through the north of Greenland, from Qaanaaq to Daneborg, two weeks ago. A few days before they left Greenland, Frederik told in an interview: "It’s going to feel very strange to be back in Copenhagen.

It may have happened long before 2000 Jenny, around about 1515 where:
"Olaus Magnus sees two kayaks in Oslo cathedral, said to have been taken off the Greenland coast by King Hakon." This indicates that the King was on or around Greenland. I imagine that they would have landed to get water.

It has generally been tradition since King Christian VIII that all future and present monarchs of Denmark visit Greenland and the Faeroe Islands at least once. Since Queen Margrethe II ascended the throne it has been almost annually.
