Synopsis:

Isn't it every young girl's fairy-tale to grow up and marry a prince? This fairy-tale actually happened and this is the truth of the fairy-tale. How does a Tasmanian-born real estate agent make the overwhelming transition from Sydney normality to European royalty? In September 2000, at the height of Sydney Olympic fever, an attractive 28-year old, Mary Donaldson, is introduced to a spiky-haired 32-year-old Dane whose first words are simply "Hi, I'm Fred". Otherwise known as Crown Prince Frederik Andre Henrik Christian of Denmark. But, for the first few hours of their acquaintance, Mary knows nothing of such formality or status. The spark between the couple is natural, immediate and genuine.

Twenty-eight-year-old Mary Donaldson has all but given up on love when one night she goes to the pub and meets a prince. But falling in love is the easy part, compared to what it takes for an Australian girl to become the future Crown Princess of Denmark.

This is the story of a fateful encounter and the life changing choices that led to one of Australia's and the world's most recognisable and romantic love stories.
