I am sorry- I asked for the information about John Donaldson's daughter and stepdaughter- that being the son's children.

Sorry, faster wrote than think.

I found it on Royal Blue Forums from 2004:
on 2004 the two girls were Sheree (Leanne's daughter) was 9 and Michelle - 4.
Now they are about Sheree - 11 and Michelle - 6.

There isn't a lot of information on Mary's maternal family.

It is known that mary and her family are still in contact with this side of the family in Scotland. Catherine Murray (Marys mother's sister) was reported as the "matriach" of that side of the family.

She was at the wedding as well as the Christening of her great nephew as we saw photos of her in a car with Mary, Jane and Patricia.
Her comment to her local scots paper after the wedding was that she was given "the royal treatment" as the eldest of her family and was given a position right at the front to view the bridal walz as "guest of honour'.

I just saw the picture of the gravestone of Pss Mary's grandparents and mother, where her aunt had layed Mary's wedding bouquet after the wedding.

You can find it here thanks to Ingrid from the Crown Princess Mary message board:

Yes that's Airee alright.

That was a nice gesture by Mary's aunt, placing her wedding bouquet on her mother and grandparents grave.

Does anyone know how old Mary's aunt is?

Jane Stephens, sister of Danish Crown Princess Mary, delivers a speech during the launch of the Crown Princess Mary rose, developed by Ross Roses, in Hobart, Tasmania, Tuesday 21 November 2006. The newly developed rose named in honour of Crown Princess Mary was launched just days before the real Danish royals arrive in Tasmania on a private visit

Is this the same rose that Mary "christened" in Denmark?

I don't think so, I think this is a different rose.

I think John and Mary look the most alike of the siblings; I guess you have to look hard for the resemblance because he is balding.

I read somewhere that Mary's Dad and Step-mother will be moving out of their apartment by the end of the month, as the "lease" runs out.

They have been staying in an apartmentin Nyhavn, own by the National Bank, asigned for forign professors and researches for a periode of time, and now that periode has passed...Does anyone know if they will stay in Denmark?

Not sure ho true it is Tricota but I heard that as they have children spread so far around the World they had decided they would base themselves in France.

Someone else may know more.

I haven't heard the France thing. Really Mary is the only one that is far away. The rest of the family is in Australia. I think her father will return to Australia. Most of the grandchildren and children are there. They own a house there, and I'm sure all their friends are there. If anything, I just think they will come and stay with Mary a few weeks out of the year.

I think the "far away" comment has to do with Susan Moody's children (John Donaldson's step-children) as well...I thnk most of them are in England...So France being *middle ground* is ridiculous!!! Can't they just admit they want to live in France for personal reasons (because they like the place), unrelated to their children...true middle ground (between Europe and Australia) would mean they should base themselves in India or Hong Kong or Japan and I personally don't see that happening, do you?

No I can't see that happening. I think Susan may have children living in the USA.

Well, one "paper", Ekstra Bladet, reports on their website tonight, that John Donaldson and Susan Moody will stay in Denmark, but leave Copenhagen for Århus, when John Donaldson wil once again become a guest lecture at the university's Math department. Acording to the university the couple will live in Århus, and Ekstra Bladet even goes as far as to speculate that they might stay at Marselisborg....This is of couse the same paper who misses no opportunity in barating the Royal Family for frivolous spending, and yet here they are, not only suggesting that the Royal Family (and as they see it the taxpayers) pay for "the royal in-laws", but that they use one of the estates for that porpuse....Seams odd, as they should be the first to know exactly how expensive estates like that is to run...

Well, I guess its not alway easy to coordinate when you are being critical and when you are in support of the Royals...Especially when both issues sells newspapers...

Jane Stephens (Mary's sister) is a partner in the recently opened Boost Juice store in Tasmania - the first for the state

The first Boost Juice in Tasmania? Good gosh.lol. The Apple Isle certainly ain't like the mainland

One of my brothers owns a Boost Juice outlet in Melbourne and judging by his lifestyle, there's certainly some money to be made

Perhaps the profit made shall help out for flights too and from Copenhagen which would be a rather pricey occurrence for Mrs Stephens and her family.

A good venture I think.
