I agree. It looked like she still had her "baby" face in her 20s.
The first photo looks from high school, so 17-18. Mary cant be blame for the bad fashion of the late 80s lol

I dont think she had anything "done" besides aging and better fitness

Yes! Its called MONEY! She married a crown prince and it gave her access to fantastic clothes, jewels, world-wide travel, chefs, maids, nannies etc and the very best that life has to offer!!! 
We ALL would look different if we had similar resources.

Mostly, it is a case of losing the baby fat and slimming down as she got older. I cringe at what I looked like in my teens and even early twenties ... VERY different looking in the 40s .... and it was NOT due to being married to a Crown Prince.

I understand what you mean  - but I don't think that Mary is the only one who looks better a couple of decades after her 20th birthday; the countess of Wessex is another example. Of course they are both royals - but that's not the only explanation imo.

The two chosen pictures are from the 80s, she's maybe 17-20 years and has extra weight. I can barely recognize myself when I look at my pictures from the 80s with that crappy hair we all had (Mary as well I see)
You could also have chosen these photos of Mary in her mid/late twenties where she has lost the babyfat, weighs the same as today and the fashion is more contemporary and she looks like she looks today.

Mary also seems to be one of those princesses who stay away from botox and cosmetic surgery. Thankfully.
Mary actually talking about it to the author Anne Wolden-Ræthinge in the book "Crown Princess Mary".
"As a woman you are exposed to so many pictures and influences. If you see a celebrity, a movie star or great singer in the media you don't know if you see a cosmetic embellished person. We have a whole population with perfect breasts! It always implies a little bit of loss of personality and lack of acceptance of who you are."
