Just think, Mary has her dream, all the jewels in the world, all the clothes, all the shoes, all the purses, all the black am ex cards, all the palaces, all the right friends and 4 children, and a very handsome hubby, she is set for life and besides she is a very pretty lady, yes this is one woman who made her dreams come true, now for the rest of us ladies out there..... 
PS Muhler,

Wasn't it in the threads about Kate and William I saw some members talked about creating a common thread just for the ridiculous DM articles of the royals
They just copy from the Womans Day - "Lovestory, How Frederik saved me". Haha.

Yes, Mary would of course have sat down at some point and asked herself:
Do I love this guy enough to wanna marry him?
Do I believe he loves me enough?
Crown Princess?? Later queen?!? Am I up for that challenge?
Fortunately, certainly for us Danes, the answer to those questions must have been yes.

If Mary had second thoughts about becoming Crown Princess of Denmark, my name is Beyoncé and I'm married to a man named Jay Z, and we have a child called Blue Ivy.
The DM seems to be in it strictly for laughs these days.

What they mean by "second thoughts" It is normal, leaving a "normal" life in Sydney and becoming a future Queen, it is such a n enormeous and huge change that it is normal and sensefull that she had to think thoroughly before to decide.

I think the jury is still out on Mary. All I can say for now is that each member of the new generation of "middle-class" royal consorts comes across very differently to me: Daniel is humble; Maxima is spontaneous; Letizia is impassive; and Mary, well, let's say her demeanor is more like that of someone who was born into royalty than her husband's, who descends from the oldest royal house in Europe. Somehow she doesn't strike me as a genuine person, but it may be a personal prejudice only.

my thoughts too.
It cant be easy deciding to move away from your family, your country, language and culture.
Im glad she thought it thoroughly since in marrying Frederik she was marrying into the role of Crown Princess. and she has certainly worked hard in her new role, since she couldn't be just a wife and mother.

We have indeed been very lucky with Mary. She can feel how beloved she is, but I still hope she once in a while allows herself to pat herself on the shoulder with a "I have done well." Because she really has! And still does. I'm happy to see her so genuine happy with her life here in Denmark 
I still do think to make a lovestory is rather silly though.

I'm being serious. I worry about anyone who either enters public service or gets married and doesn't think long and hard about it. It takes the DM to turn something very normal and appropriate into something tawdry.

I have followed Mary since QM announced they were dating, watched the wedding (saw something that threw me off about her) yet this lady has been born for this, she is very royal and yes she does work hard, that much I will give her. From looking at her pictures and viewing videos, she loves her job, she loves being out and mixing with the people, she really does and that is what a crown princess does, so she get an A+ in that area. She will make a very good queen consort someday, nobody can ever replace QM for she is in a league all her own and I like her a lot. Mary is not camera shy at all, she dresses extremely well and carries herself with self confidence, yet here is something there I see in pictures sometimes that make me wonder, I don't just look at Mary's face in the pictures, I look around her face and see what is in the background, the people, the place she is at, everything, some of the pictures with her asst(don't know the name) whoa that look sometimes could kill, some expressions are down right angry, I think lots goes on behind those huge palace doors that nobody sees and makes us all wonder.
If she is happy and the Queen is happy and the hubby is happy(he is such a little boy/man who loves to get his own way)then all will be well in Denmark. In fact the Scandinavian countries are my favorite part of the world, if I could live there tonight, I would be on my way now. I viewed the Queen in Viborg recently and did a research on the town, that is where I am going someday, what a pretty area and so historical.

I think Mary is well loved and respected in Denmark. She cant be fooling everyone, lol.
And well so, she has risen to her role and does it with a wonderful attitude.
To me she seems a little bit shy but does her job well
Her and Frederik make a great team. They highlight each others strengths.
But i also think a tv movie is unnecessary.

I think she is attractive and incredibly stylish, but my basic analysis of the former Mary Donaldson matches your own.

No-one in Oz should have been suprised with the announcement of this project.
Over the last few years, all the Australian networks have been presenting us with "our stories".
Everything from shows about our magazines "Cleo" and "Woman's Day"/"New Idea", (the two "Paper Giants"), to our TV broadcasting of cricket, ("Howzat"), to our criminals and gangsters, (all the "Underbelly" shows) and beloved drag-queen "Carlotta".
Some have not been the success they were expected to be, ("Shapelle" - broadcast to coincide with the actual person's release from prision in Bali, but failing to be of interest), and the second Kerry Packer/Rupert Murdoch story, ("Power Games").
Some others have been about Julian Assange, a former Prime Minister, a rock star and a mine cave-in,("The Julian Assange Story", "Hawke", "INXS", "Beaconsfield").
As well as CP Mary's story, next year we are to get a series about an Australian serial killer, and a racing-car driver.
It seems that M's show will have a reasonable budget with filming in Denmark scheduled - and now said to be a mini-series, not just a TV movie.
Some silly names are being bandied about as "interested" in the lead role. (Perhaps a poisoned chalice - witness the scathing reviews Nicole Kidman had for playing Princess Grace, and Naomi Watts had for playing Diana, Princess of Wales.)
With the array of various Australians being dramatised and portrayed on our screens here, it's not too left field to have had some-one come up with the idea of CP Mary - "it's time we did her".
CP Mary for the women, and Peter Brock, the racing-car driver, for the men.
Channel 10 would be looking for a big success with these two shows, amongst it's others, after it's last couple of years of financial, ratings and management upheavals.
