Prince Frederik & Princess Mary's Official Visit to Australia: Feb. 27-March 11, 2005

[Warren]

Mary and Frederik are staying on the 34th floor of the hotel directly behind, and partly obscured by, the yacht's sail.

The other two tallest buildings are apartments, the third and lowest is an hotel.

The large white building needs no description.

Most likely she wore the cap to keep the sun off her face.

A sunburnt Crown Princess is not a good look.

Norwegianne, I agree!

She looks Silly and ruined a Nice Outfit, IMO

What is so official about sitting barefeet on a boat that Mary wouldn't be allowed to wear a cap?

I agree with you Warren. The sun out there would have been very bright.

Thanks lots pdas1201 for your lovely pics.

There are some pics of the Luncheon from Getty too.

Princess Mary looks really pretty.

[NJRedDevils]

She looks happy to be home in someway, He looks pretty relaxed too, like his 2nd home

Here are the pics of the luncheon from Anp and Gettyimages (Thanks to HMQueenElizabethII for the heads up)

I like Mary's dress a lot, it simple and elegant. But, I don't if it was the right choice for a luncheon. In my opinion, it was too much on the informal side. Also, the cut and color were nice but I didn't particularly care for the fabric of the garment, it seemed to wrinkle, which didn't look good in the photos.

[HMQueenElizabethII]

Yes,it's a nice dress.Mary really looks lovely.

I was watching the news and they said that the Danish media were so angry that Mary hasn't said much on this tour, that they were about to go home. A press conference was then organised at the last minute, and the problem was solved. I haven't seen any articles, or heard from any other source about this, so I don't know how true it is. I'll keep looking though.

Thanks pdas1201 for all the lovely photos. :)

Mary has just become a Princess nearly a year but her behaviour really like a real Royal.Her waving really looks like a "born as Royal".

I think the Aussie seem love the Princess and her handsome husband so much.The Newspaper here has said that Mary has won Prince Charles lol:

Nothing in our media about this.

Otherwise, she only arrived on Friday night, today is Monday.

She's been on the harbour sailing, catching up with friends (and of course her husband), and today attended the official State luncheon.

Give her a break!
