Queen Mary of Denmark was completely enchanted during a recent royal engagement.
The Australian-born royal was visiting a Copenhagen university last week when a girl stepped forward from the waiting crowd to offer her flowers.
The little girl, named Petra Bruun Funch, delicately extended her bouquet and caught Mary’s attention.
The queen knelt down to reach the girl, gently took the bouquet and shared a sweet chat with the girl.
The outing was one of Mary’s last since she became Queen of Denmark.

Mary recently admitted to feeling “overwhelmed” since taking the throne.
The royal couple gave their first interview as King and Queen, describing their feelings on replacing Queen Margaret, how they feel they have been accepted and what they see for the future.
They sat next to each other in the interview, and King Frederik emphasized the couple’s united front by using the word “we” instead of “I” on countless occasions.
‘We have begun our vocation and our work, which symbolically happens with this action on the royal ship. It’s very special,’ he stated.

In the same interview, Queen Mary, who grew up in Tasmania, admitted to feeling overwhelmed “at times” in her new role.
“It’s very new and there are a lot of changes and decisions,” he said.
However, she seemed confident and believes that once they are past the transition period, she will be more settled.
She also reflected on the moment her husband became king.
“I was with the children and when you went out onto the balcony towards your destination, it was a moment that moved me very much. We could hear it and feel it, even if we couldn’t see it. It was a beautiful moment. “I was very happy and very proud,” she gushed.
The couple said they would focus on everyday tasks and traditional commitments before adding their own influence as King and Queen.
“It’s very new and there are a lot of changes and decisions,” he said.
