As Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary, Juliet Rieden looks at what makes this couple click.
Hobart. Denmark’s Heir Apparent has proved himself to be a romantic right from their wedding day when he teared up in the church, and later at the reception at Fredensborg Palace proclaimed: “Like the moon at night you shine ... I love you, Mary. Come, let us go, come let us see. Throughout a thousand worlds, weightless love awaits.”
While it may have sounded a little over the top, Frederik has continued to wear his heart on his sleeve, and last year at her husband’s 50th birthday bash Mary admitted the couple are still floating on their very own cloud. “I am so happy that you swept me off my feet and that we dared to fall for each other,” she cooed.
