It was summer 2000 and the Olympic Games were being held in Sydney, Australia. As expected, the event drew hundreds of thousands of spectators but it also spearheaded one of the most captivating romances the world has ever seen—the awe-inspiring love between Princess Mary and Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark. As an Australian born and raised, it would appear that love knew just where to find the crown princess. Then, only known by her birth name, Mary Elizabeth Donaldson, the Countess of Monpezat met the heir apparent to the throne at Slip Inn, a pub in Sydney, while he was visiting to attend the games. The two met through mutual friends and hit it off instantly. By December of 2001, Mary had moved to Denmark, approximately three years prior

As an Australian born and raised, it would appear that love knew just where to find the crown princess. Then, only known by her birth name, Mary Elizabeth Donaldson, the Countess of Monpezat met the heir apparent to the throne at Slip Inn, a pub in Sydney, while he was visiting to attend the games.

The two met through mutual friends and hit it off instantly. By December of 2001, Mary had moved to Denmark, approximately three years prior to their May 2004 nuptials. Loved by the royal family and the people of Denmark for her philanthropic spirit and down-to-earth personality, Princess Mary would soon reveal yet another quality worth falling in love with—her exquisite taste in fashion.

Whether for her elegantly tailored dresses or modestly chic ensembles, the future queen consort has proven to be incredibly captivating and a style pro, inspiring lovers of fashion each time she is caught on camera.

Here, we’ve rounded up some of the princess’ most memorable looks, from her gorgeous Uffe Frank-designed wedding gown to the classy white bishop-sleeved suit that she wore for her 2022 interview with Danish fashion magazine Billed-Bladet, ahead of her 50th birthday.
