Queen Mary of Denmark quietly slips into Australia for a family holiday in her native Tasmania


Queen Mary of Denmark has slipped into Australia with little fanfare.

The Australian-born Danish monarch flew home to Hobart to attend her niece's wedding before travelling to Sydney, where she soaked up the sun at some of the city's most picturesque beaches . While living in Australia, Mary, who was working was on the management team at Belle Property, was just 28-years-old when she first laid eyes on her Prince, a Captain in the Danish Reserve, or Air Force. They maintained a long-distance relationship for a year, with Frederik making secret trips Down Under before Mary moved to Denmark to study Danish language at Copenhagen's Studieskolen in 2001.
