Queen Mary praises ‘stunning’ Danish nature and how different it is from her hometown in Tasmania: ‘I didn’t experience that where I came from’

Queen Mary of Denmark has praised the country’s natural beauty, saying it is nothing like what she saw growing up in Tasmania.

The Australian-born monarch joined Denmark’s Environment Minister Magnus Heunicke to open a Deer Park in Dyrehaven, just north of Copenhagen, on Sunday.

She gave a speech at the event saying she was captivated by the beauty of the forest, which was different from what she saw growing up in Hobart, Tasmania.

“From my first encounter with the Danish forest, I was very impressed,” said the 52-year-old.

“Especially the change to spring, when the trees bud and create a light green color in the forest, something I haven’t experienced where I come from.”

Mary looked the epitome of country chic in a gray printed jumper, a black Seeland Cottage Quilt Lady vest and a floppy hat.

Opting for glam makeup, the mother of four wore thick eyeliner and mascara over a coat of gold foundation.

The Danish queen helped release two deer into the forest and stopped to chat with fans.

The departure comes amid speculation that Mary may have spent the Easter holidays away from Prince Frederik while his flag remained raised over his mansion at Amalienborg Castle, meaning at least Frederik, Mary or their son, the Crown Prince Christian, were present.

The family travels often during Easter, and the palace told Danish publication Her&Nul last week that Queen Margaret, 83, will act as head of state while the entire family travels outside the country.

However, it seems there was a last-minute change and Mary may be staying in Copenhagen.

This has further intensified rumors about the state of the couple’s marriage, after Frederik was photographed with glamorous Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova.

Leaving the rumors and conflicts behind, Mary seemed delighted with today’s outing, spotting a deer and chatting with the young fans.

Earlier this week, the Queen paired this with a trendy wide-brimmed hat and blue leather gloves.

Putting her best fashion foot forward, Mary opted to pair the ensemble with tawny leather heeled boots.

The mother-of-two wore her brunette locks with a curly blow-dry and opted for glam makeup with smoky eyeshadow and pink glitter.

Mary looked in high spirits as she gave a speech at the important event and presented medals to the guards for their service in office.

María’s visit was also tinged with sadness.

According to the Danish newspaper Billed Bladet, a National Guard soldier died of cardiac arrest while on duty the night before Mary’s visit.

He took the podium to address military personnel and pay tribute to the fallen soldier.

‘For 75 years, the National Guard has created security for Danes.

“It is a day we want to celebrate, but before we continue, I would also like to express my deepest condolences to those bereaved by last night’s tragic death,” he said.

It’s been a troubled few years for the Danish royals, including “romance” rumors and a breakup over title changes. The family has entered a new chapter following the accession of King Frederick X to the throne in January.

As royal fans went wild over the mystery of Maria being left behind, many revisited King Frederick’s night out with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova in Madrid last fall, sparking rumors of an “affair” across the country. world.

Genoveva was spotted with King Frederick last November as the couple enjoyed dinner at a flamenco restaurant in Madrid until the early hours of the morning, Spanish magazine Lecturas reported.

Photos of the couple in the Spanish capital sparked rumors of an affair, which Genoveva strongly denied in a legal letter posted on Instagram.

After publishing the denial, Genoveva sought solace in San Sebastián, where the family of her ex-husband Cayetano Martínez de Irujo owned a property.

Spanish magazine Hello! reported that the socialite stayed at the Arbaizenea Palace, a property that belonged to the Duchess of Alba and that she bequeathed to her son Cayetano Martínez de Irujo. The magazine reported that Genoveva travels to San Sebastián every time she needs to ‘disconnect’ from public life.

However, last month, after several months away from social media, Genoveva returned to public life with a new post on her Instagram page, which included two selfies with her furry dog. The reality TV star and the King even enjoyed a walk in a park. , go to an art exhibition and eat while watching flamenco.

In a legal letter posted on Instagram, he criticized “malicious” rumors suggesting the pair were romantically involved.

The couple has only held the title of King and Queen since Queen Margaret abdicated on December 31.

This sparked speculation that Queen Margaret’s abdication may have been motivated to save her son and Princess Mary’s marriage in the wake of the alleged “affair.”

Royal commentator Phil Dampier told The Telegraph: “It is possible that the Queen took this action because she would have been terrified that the marriage would break down and the royal family would lose Mary.”

‘It would have caused major problems.

“The Queen has always seen Mary as a great asset.”
