Danes have lined the streets of Copenhagen to celebrate the wedding of the heir to Europe's oldest throne and an Australian estate agent. Tasmanian Mary Donaldson, 32, is the first Australian-born ruling royal having married Crown Prince Frederik, 35. He met his bride in the Slip Inn bar in Sydney during the 2000 Olympics. The new princess has learnt to speak Danish, adopted the country's citizenship and converted to the Lutheran church in order to fulfil her new role.
