Crown Prince Frederik fronted local and international media gathered at the Rigshospitalet just after 11.30am (9.30pm AEDT) on Saturday.
"It's a happy occasion to announce that Crown Princess Mary has given birth to perfectly healthy babies," Crown Prince Frederik said.
"A boy and then a girl right after."
He added the entire royal family had known the sex of the twins before the birth.
The future king of Denmark was pleased to announce that Princess Mary had also come through the birth without any issues.
"She handled it beautifully," Crown Prince Frederik said.
The boy, weighing 2674 grams and measuring 47cm, was born at 10.30am and the girl just under half an hour later. She weighed 2554 grams and measured 46cm.
Crown Prince Frederik said he had already called his mother, Queen Margrethe, to tell her the news.
"The Queen was totally happy when I rang her," he said.
A team of two doctors and three midwives had been on hand since 6am local time to handle the birth. Team leader Morten Hedegaard told the waiting media that his team was thrilled with the result.
"They cannot be better," he said.
Crown Prince Frederik and Tasmanian-born Princess Mary already have two children, Prince Christian, five, and Princess Isabella, three.
