Crown Princess Mary, the 33-year-old Australian native who became a member of the Danish royal family after she wed Prince Frederik, was welcomed by throngs of adoring well-wishers when she made her first visit home since her fairytale wedding last May.
Her trademark elegance, as well as her poise and devotion to charity work, captured the hearts of her countrymen, setting off what has become known as Mary-mania. "The whole city has gone mad for Mary," said one observer in Sydney.
In the weeks before her arrival, public interest hit levels similar to those which surrounded Princess Diana at the height of her popularity, and Mary's two-week visit generated headlines around the world.
