8 years on, they are still husband & wife/Prince & Princess. Most unions don't last that long. This young man is no slouch. He is a member of Denmark's elite military unit (equivalent of the US Navy Seals), and was part of an expedition across Greenland. Few future heads of state can lay claim to such accomplishments. Able to mix with the "quality", and able to mix with the common, and take it seriously. A true son of Denmark; small wonder the Danish are proud of him.

[@sheilanixon4479]

Mary is also very intelligent with a number of qualifications in Law and Accountancy.. She is also a great sports woman ,especially in show jumping. They are very well matched ,which is probably why their marriage works. It is the love story of the century, and to think they met by chance!

[@plantemor]

@Aurora Endevour it's more like the danish monarchy is the oldest in Europe. They're technically all related but some of those relations are like 6 generations apart and there's a number of different houses who have sat the danish throne and a lot of kings died without heirs. But I mean, yeah, it's kinda cute that this feud a 1000 years ago ended up becoming a wedding in 2004. Mary's father mentioned this in his speech also, which was pretty cute.

She cried at the end of her husband's speech. She also cried at a recent meeting supporting children and young people who have lost a parent early on in life. She spoke of how her Mother had died in 1997 and how it had shipwrecked her life for a while. Her personality is typical of Scottish, and English/Scottish Border people. Quiet and reserved on the outside but with deep inner feelings which they only show to people close to them..

[@sheilanixon4479]

Mary cried during the wedding ceremony ,and so did Frederik. She cried during Frederik's speech ,towards the end.He said recently, My main focus and the foundation of everything I do is my wife ,my marriage, my home ,my children and our extended family

Of all the many royal weddings I have seen in the last 40 years televised and on the internet including those that took place in the UK, this one looks most like a fairy tale to me. He seems most like a fairy tale prince and she seems most like a fairy tale princess. It's not due to the trappings but they way they look at each other, the way they hold each other's hands and then as if like teenagers pull back when they realized people are watching.

They are simply more formal in public. You have clearly never seen them away from their public engagements. I have, as I spent 30 years working at Buckingham Palace, 20 years in The Queen's private office.

[@mscott3918]

Brad Moyse Diana has not really changed anything, she simply wasn't important enough or influential enough. She could have been, had her behaviour been different. The role of Princess of Wales has never included being an international icon. You don't know the Royal Family. I do, I spent 30 years working at Buckingham Palace, with 20 years in The Queen's private office. There is no shortage of love and affection in the UK Royal Family.

Complete and utter, genuine class. Complete and utter genuine love. It's all any of us wishes for. No amount of expectation or training, or up bringing can produce that, because that's the real deal. What ever they did, where ever they were, whoever they were, they would be like that. It's who and what they are. Perfect Royal couple? Yes, probably. they don't have to be that, it's ok that they are two seriously well suited people who are genuinely in love and have found each other. As leaders of their country, as examples to their people, Denmark are lucky to have two people who are worth and earn, their role and position and the respect that goes with their position. Respect is earned.

Mary was the Managing Director of a major Australian property company at 28,and Frederik had a long career in the Danish Navy .They both have Masters Degrees, and Mary got a Double First Class Honours Degree in Commerce and Law The causes they serve are of their own choosing ,and not arranged for them by Royal Courtiers as in Britain.

When Frederik's grandmother was dying ,she gave him a book which had helped her 3 years previously when her mother died.

Our Royal Family are cardboard cut-outs ,who haqve their interests chosen for them by their courtiers. They live behind high walls ,and do not mix much. William and Kate are stuck in between the old style Royals ,with their extravagent life-styles, and fleets of servants. They need to go to Norway or Denmark after Lock-down ,and learn how to be Danish style Royals in order to save the Monarchy.
