Isn't it every young girls fairytale? To grow up and marry a prince? This fairytale actually happened, and this is the truth of the fairytale. How does a Tasmanian-born real estate agent make the overwhelming transition from Sydney normality to European royalty? In September 2000, at the height of Sydney Olympic fever, an attractive 28-year old, Mary Donaldson, is introduced to a spiky-haired 32-year old Dane whose first words are simply Hi, I'm Fred. Otherwise known as Crown Prince Frederik Andre Henrik Christian of Denmark. But, for the first few hours of their acquaintance, Mary knows nothing of such formality or status. The spark between the couple is natural, immediate and genuine.
