Princess Mary of Denmark?

Question

Does anyone have a link to the tabloid story about how Mary planned her meeting with Prince Frederick? Her "friends" did some sort of tell-all years ago and I would like to read it. Thanks

Answer 1

couldn't find the link ,this is amazing there is nothing there(but i am still looking)

Her life was to change forever when she met a sporty young man who introduced himself as "Fred" at a Sydney hotel pub in October 2000.

They'd each arrived with a separate group of friends – the King of Spain's nephew, Bruno Gomez-Acebo, was the link between the two cliques but by the end of the evening Mary and Frederik were deep in conversation, seeming to have eyes only for each other. Over the next three years, the two were often seen together in both Australia and Denmark.

However, it wasn't until April 2003 that Queen Margrethe publicly acknowledged the relationship, fuelling rumours of a pending engagement. Six months later the palace announced a royal wedding would take place the following spring.

Despite having to fulfil a demanding series of requirements she agreed to relinquish her Australian citizenship, convert from her Presbyterian faith to the Danish Lutheran Church, learn fluent Danish and agree to give up her rights to the couple's children in case of divorce.

Mary tackled the challenge of her new position with aplomb. On May 14, 2004, the pretty brunette with the captivating smile finally walked down the aisle with her prince. And the bride's wedding ensemble encompassed both her Australian heritage and the history of the family she would now be joining. A gown by Danish designer Uffe Frank was topped off with a veil first used by Crown Princess Margret of Sweden in 1905, and Mary's bouquet consisted of Australian eucalyptus – known as Snow gum – sprinkled among the palace garden's flowers.

Answer 2

I did a quick search but was unable to turn anything up about Crown Princess Mary arranging to meet and win over the Crown Prince Frederick.

Tabloid stories tend to be just that... Usually untrue. Perhaps you could ask your question at the newsgroup alt.talk.royalty or alt.gossip.royalty. It is very easy to do if you have a Google/Gmail account and they are likely to have an answer for your right away.

Answer 3

Mary didn't plan the meeting, it just happened at the olympics

they're both sailing buffs.
