瑪麗王儲妃從小在澳洲長大,在身為應用數學系教授的爸爸細心教育之下,瑪麗自幼便培養出對數字的敏銳度。大學時,她主修商法(Commerce and Law),大學畢業後進入研究所並考取廣告與直銷相關執照(Advertising & direct marketing),接著先後任職於各大公司總監與顧問一職。

2. 首次見面在酒吧

直到2000年,瑪麗在澳洲雪梨Slip Inn酒吧遇見了一位名為「Fred(弗雷德里克Frederik)」的男子,她的命運也從此改寫。當時正是2000年雪梨夏季奧運會,二人都是跟朋友來到聚會,但當晚他們一見如故,彼此相談甚歡,瑪麗笑稱:「當初我並不知道他是丹麥王子,我們還握手。」

3. 談了3年的遠距離戀愛

也因為在酒吧中的相遇,兩人很快就陷入熱戀,不過弗雷德里克王儲經常在公務與私人行程之間往返丹麥與雪梨,歷經3年的遠距離戀愛後,丹麥女王瑪格麗特二世(Queen Margrethe II)才首次公開承認兩人交往的事實,並在在於2004年於哥本哈根大教堂(Copenhagen Cathedral)舉行盛大的皇室婚禮。

4. 成為王妃努力學習丹麥語

瑪麗王儲妃原具有英國與澳洲雙重國籍,丹麥議會因此頒布一項特別法令(Mary's Law),讓王儲妃得以在婚禮後,取得丹麥國籍,而她也從長老教(Presbyterianism)轉為信奉路德教(Evangelical Lutheran Church of Denmark)。而原本完全不會丹麥語的瑪麗也因為加入了丹麥皇室而積極的學習丹麥語,貼心的她也曾在丹麥王儲弗雷德里克的50歲生日宴會上,特別準備丹麥語致詞,讓人感受到她為丈夫和丹麥的用心。

5. 18年來依舊相愛

今年50歲的丹麥王儲妃瑪麗(Princess Mary)與今年54歲的丹麥王儲弗雷德里克(Prince Frederik)2人育有4位孩子,分別是克里斯蒂安、伊莎貝拉、約瑟芬、文森王子。於2004年舉行大婚時弗雷德里曾說過「從今天起,她是我的,我亦是她的。我愛她,我會以我全部的愛守護她。」瑪麗也甜喊:「Frederik 是那種時時在身邊,會逗你笑的人。他聰明與溫柔,而且也十分有趣。」結婚18年,2人好感情不僅全世界有目共睹,同時他們也被稱為王室最浪漫夫婦。
