Crown Princess Mary of Denmark was looking radiant as she attended a concert by the world renowned Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in Copenhagen on Monday. Arriving on the arm of her handsome husband, Crown Prince Frederik, the 32-year-old royal was elegant in a flowing black skirt, and bore a posy of colourful blooms.
While Mary has clearly settled down in her new homeland, where she is immensely popular, she must be looking forward to spending time back in her native Australia again. The couple are scheduled to make their first official visit Down Under in March.
The trip is to be a combination of private and official appointments. It will kick off with a time spent with Mary's family in Tasmania, before focusing on the celebration of the 200th birthday of Danish storyteller Hans Christian Andersen.
The Oz agenda will include the appointment of four Australian Hans Christian Andersen ambassadors. Mary and Frederik will also be guests of honour at a fundraising event in aid of research into heart disease. "Her Royal Highness, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, whose mother passed away in 1997 following a heart operation, is no stranger to the impact of heart disease," said a spokesperson for the charity organising the event.
