Crown Princess Mary of Denmark's ever-evolving style

The world’s attention has been focused on Crown Princess Mary, who will become Queen Mary of Denmark in less than two weeks following the sudden abdication of her mother-in-law Queen Margrethe after a record 52-year reign. When Mary takes over as Queen, she will become the first Australian-born Queen in history. She met her husband, Prince Frederik, in her home country when they visited for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. They met at a pub called the Slip Inn, but successful vice president Mary had no idea that “Fred” was the heir to the Danish throne. They married in 2004 and have four children.

This year, Frederick and Mary are celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary, and Mary, on the other hand, is celebrating 20 years as a member of the Danish royal family. For followers of the world’s royal families (and not just the British royal family), Mary has long been a style icon, a hardworking royal, and beloved just like Kate, Duchess of Wales. physically similar). Mary and Duchess Kate have a lot in common, right down to their so-called “fairy tale” love story of a marriage between a commoner and a prince, and Kate is said to have modeled herself on Mary’s royal life. The two are so similar both physically and situationally that Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld once called them “royal sisters.”
