Amid a heavy schedule of stiff ribbon-cutting ceremonies, Danish Crown Princess Mary has shown she still has a fun-loving Australian larrikin spirit.
Her husband Crown Prince Frederik's ascension to the throne this Sunday, following his mother Margrethe's retirement as Denmark's monarch, will see Mary become the first Australian to reach the position of Queen.
As part of the promotion, she is expected to take on several high-ranking patronages once the royal household finishes a review and redistribution process.
