Find out how an Australian commoner is set to become the queen of Denmark in this royal fairytale come true!

Australia's Princess Mary is about to ascend the throne as Queen of Denmark alongside Crown Prince Frederik, marking a historic moment in Danish monarchy. As Queen Margrethe voluntarily relinquishes the throne after nearly 900 years, the country celebrates the modern and environmentally conscious reign of King Frederik X and Queen Mary. The Australian-born princess's journey from a Tasmanian commoner to a queen consort has captivated both Danish and Australian citizens.

In a surprising turn of events, Queen Margrethe announced her abdication, paving the way for Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary to take the throne. The coronation ceremony in Copenhagen witnessed thousands of spectators gathering to witness the first Australian-born queen of Denmark take her place in history. Queen Mary's elegant and stylish appearances have already set the tone for her reign, showcasing her impeccable fashion sense and grace.

Despite being known as Crown Princess for almost two decades, Mary Donaldson is now set to officially become the Queen of Denmark, a title she will carry with pride and dignity. The tight-knit Danish royal family, including the newly named Crown Prince Christian, is gearing up for a new chapter under the reign of King Frederik and Queen Mary.

As Denmark celebrates its new king and queen, the spotlight shines on Queen Mary's coronation dress, with its hidden meanings and intricate details adding to the regal aura of the ceremony. The royal couple's visit to parliament marks the beginning of a new era, symbolizing continuity and tradition within the Danish monarchy.
