"Elizabeth" is quite a common middle name in English-speaking countries (maybe something to do with the royal family, since Margaret and Mary are also common middle names). It's not really surprising that both Mary and Susan share that name.

I love the name Elizabeth, acutally I hope to give the name to any daughter I have in the future, however I would use the Elisabeth spelling instead. Nothing against the Z spelling.

Oh I love little Elisabeth of Belgium. I hope that Denmark changes it laws on females and the line of succession. I would love to see Mary and Frederik welcome a little Elizabeth :) !!

This is Marys mother Henrietta Donaldson. She and her husband moved from Scotland to Tasmania in 1963 where they lived with their four children.
Henrietta Donaldson died in 1997 during a heart surgery

As for myself, I do prefere too the spelling "Elisabeth" instead of "Elizabeth". Maybe because I'm french and in France, it's spelled Elisabeth (and is the name of one of my sisters).

on www.kongehuset.dk it says this

"The crown princess started school at Clear Lake City Elementary school in Houston, Texas 1974-1975"

Is this Texas, USA? I had no idea she and her family had lived there??
But she was born in Tasmania... or was she not?

According to en.wikipedia.org, Mary's family lived there while her father was doing a fellowship at the University of Houston. And yes, she was born in Australia. The family moved back after his fellowship ended.

That's pretty neat, that her father did his fellowship at the University of Houston. I just graduated from that college in August.

Ah..now I see why she went to the Clear Lake Elementary School, it nearby.
