With her hair tied back from her face and her bump clearly visible under an empire-waisted summer dress, the princess was looking radiant upon her arrival at Thorvalsden Museum in Copenhagen. The 33-year-old had gone along to view a new exhibition about the learning difficulties which beset Denmark's famous fairytale author Hans Christensen Andersen.
Her presence also helped boost the launch of a new foundation which is aiming to combat illiteracy all over the world. Teaching youngsters to read and write is a key element in fighting poverty in developing countries and Mary is keen to do all she can to support children's charities.
As her own baby's big debut draws closer, newspapers in the Scandinavian country are already speculating over who will be asked to become godparents. Mary's sisters Patricia and Jane both seem likely choices, as does her old friend Amber Petty, who was one of the bridesmaids at her wedding. Some royal-watchers have also suggested Birgitte Handwerk, the wife of Crown Prince Frederik's best friend Jeppe, as a strong contender. Jeppe himself is thought to be a frontrunner for godfather duties, as are the future king's brother Joachim and his cousin Prince Gustav. |
