Frederik of Denmark reveals previously unknown details about his life with Mary, a story of sacrifices and love
The story of Frederik of Denmark and Mary Donaldson is one of those that seems straight out of a fairy tale. From the very beginning, both have shared a public life filled with public commitments. However, they have also experienced personal moments that have strengthened their relationship.
The life as a couple they began many years ago hasn't been easy. However, they have overcome all kinds of barriers, both cultural and social. From the start, Mary's life changed drastically when she found herself immersed in a completely new world, so different from what she knew in Australia.
Mary's personal sacrifice: from Australia to Denmark
Mary never imagined that a chance encounter at the Sydney Olympic Games would mark the beginning of a new life full of challenges. She left her career, her home country, and the life she had in Australia to move to Denmark just one year after meeting Frederik. There, she began to learn Danish and to integrate into the royal family.
Over the years, Mary showed her commitment to Frederik and to her new life, adapting to the demands of a world completely different from her own. Despite the difficulties of facing a completely different language and a new culture, she never showed any signs of regret. The wedding with Frederik, held in 2004, was the culmination of a relationship that began with a personal sacrifice and has endured to this day.
Mary's family: a silent pillar of support
Mary's family has always been an essential pillar of support in her life. Although Mary's family has kept a low profile, staying away from media exposure, their support remains essential for her. Sometimes, her brother John and her sisters, Jane and Patricia, have been present, but discreetly, true to their desire to stay out of the spotlight.
Recently, Frederik traveled to Tasmania to visit Mary's family, highlighting the importance of personal bonds. This gesture reflects the strong connection Mary keeps with her roots and the respect Frederik has for his wife's family. Despite the years of royal life, Mary keeps her origins present.
