Queen Mary of Denmark recently celebrated her 52nd birthday, marking her first birthday since her husband, King Frederik, ascended to the throne. To commemorate the occasion, the Danish Royal House treated the public to a never-before-seen photo of Mary with her father, John Donaldson, on their official Instagram account. The picture showed a heartwarming moment between the father and daughter, with a makeup-free Mary embracing her father with a smile.
The caption accompanying the personal photo read, 'Her Majesty The Queen has a birthday and turns 52 today. On this occasion, the Queen has chosen an image of a special moment with her father from her recent trip to Australia in December. His Royal Highness Prince Vincent is the photographer behind it.' Prince Vincent, the youngest son of Queen Mary and King Frederik, captured the candid moment, adding an extra touch of sentimentality to the snapshot. The royal couple also has three other children: Crown Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, and Princess Josephine, who is Prince Vincent's twin.
