The Crown Prince Couple

His Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederik and Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary are Denmark's young and very popular successor couple. Mary Donaldson appeared from a remote country and with her grace and nature won the heart of not only the Crown Prince, but also half the kingdom.

The wedding was on 14 May 2004 in Copenhagen Cathedral, with the cameras running. Shameless and indiscreet, they captured Frederik's tears as he was overwhelmed by his bride's entrance along the aisle. That moment is remembered in the Danish homes as a symbol of the young couple's humanity.
