Denmark’s Crown Princess Mary is coming to Australia to celebrate Christmas in her home state of Tasmania.

A statement from the Danish Royal Family says Mary, her husband Crown Prince Frederik and their four children Christian, Isabella, Vincent and Josephine will spend Christmas downunder with members of their extended Aussie family.

Tasmanian commoner Mary Donaldson famously met Prince Frederik in a Sydney pub during the 2000 Sydney Olympics and married him in a fairytale wedding to became Mary, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.

Princess Mary earlier this year reminded us that, despite her title, she maintains a sense of humour.

While some would be red-faced, she laughed when a man farted while she was giving a speech at a library in Odense.

Princess Mary said in Danish: “It’s like what happens at home for me when I try to tell someone something!”

Muffled laughter continued throughout the gathering before she composed herself and moved on.
