After much speculation, the date is out – Frederik and Mary will marry on May 14, 2004, in Copenhagen. It will be the first wedding of a crown prince since 1935, when Frederik's grandfather, Frederik IX, wed Princess Ingrid of Sweden.
Once the historical event is over, the crown prince will be moving out of Amalienborg Palace, where he has lived until now, and into Fredensborg Palace, which has been undergoing extensive refurbishment.
Located on Lake Esrum, north of Copenhagen, and boasting the largest gardens in Denmark, the palace is the focal point for royal family events, and is also where visiting heads of state are received. Until now, Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik have spent several months of the year there.
