Princess Mary: From Isolation to Beloved Danish Royalty

Princess Mary has always been sensitive to the feelings of others who appear to be alone or don’t feel like they belong.

In a recent interview with Australian Women’s Weekly, the Crown Princess opened up about her own experience of isolation when she first moved to Denmark.

The Tasmanian-born Mary Donaldson’s journey to becoming royalty is well-known, but her feelings of loneliness upon moving to the small Scandinavian country 14 years ago are not.

“Moving to Denmark was a huge change in my life,” Princess Mary said.

“A new culture, new language, new friends, and another way of life.

So, I see it as quite natural that at times I felt quite alone or a little bit like I was on the outside looking in.”

However, the princess was able to overcome her feelings of isolation thanks to the supportive and caring people in her new home.

Today, Princess Mary is fluent in Danish and beloved by her adopted country.

Her presence in Copenhagen has even boosted the popularity of the Danish royal family, with 82% of the Danish population now supporting the monarchy, up from 77% before Princess Mary joined the establishment.

Princess Mary’s popularity is due in part to her active public life.

She and her four children are often seen riding bikes around the city, doing sports like horseback riding, swimming, and ballet.

The family’s decision to enroll their children in public school was a historical first for the royal family and was met with approval by the Danish people.

But perhaps most impressive has been the work Princess Mary has done with her foundation, the Mary Foundation, over the past decade.

The foundation focuses on bullying and well-being, domestic violence, and loneliness.

Princess Mary has worked with people of all ages and statuses and has been able to enact real change through her Free a Bullying program, which has been introduced into half of Danish kindergartens and a third of schools.

Princess Mary’s work with the Mary Foundation is a source of pride for her.

She was especially touched when her youngest son, Prince Vincent, came home from school and told her they were learning about her project.

“We feel that we have a responsibility as part of our role as parents to bring up our children to be open and tolerant adults,” she said.

“Empathy is what holds our world together.”

Princess Mary’s story is one of perseverance and dedication to making a difference in the lives of others.

Her commitment to her adopted country and her foundation has made her an admired figure not just in Denmark but around the world.
