Queen Mary and King Frederik of Denmark step out for Paris Olympics
- The royal couple is back to where their royal romance began
- Their romance began during the 2000 Summer Olympics
Once upon a time, at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, a young Australian named Mary Donaldson had no idea that the charming "Fred" she just met was actually Prince Frederik of Denmark. Fast forward to July 25, 2024, and that same couple, now King Frederik and Queen Mary, are stealing the spotlight in Paris, proving that fairytales do exist!

From Sydney to Paris: A love that goes the distance
Their love story is the stuff of legends. Despite the initial long-distance challenge, Mary's dedication shone through as she learned Danish, converted religions, and even gave up her Australian citizenship for love. Their engagement in 2003 was a fairytale moment, leading to a royal wedding in 2004 and four beautiful children.
¡King Frederik and Queen Mary aren't alone in finding love at the Olympics. The event seems to have a magical touch, with Sweden's King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia also meeting at the Munich Olympics in 1976. It's clear, the Olympics isn't just about sports; it's a cupid for royal hearts!
