There was no doubt who was the belle of the ball when Australia's favourite royal arrived for a gala dinner in Sydney. Princess Mary was greeted by a huge crowd of well-wishers when she made her entrance at a fundraising bash for the Australian Red Cross on Tuesday night.

And although there were plenty of elegant gowns to be seen on the night, it was the Danish royal who shone the brightest. Accompanied by her husband Crown Prince Frederik, the 33-year-old set flashbulbs blazing with a pink silk halterneck top and midnight-blue floor-length skirt.

It was a stroke of good luck that the little girl who presented her with flowers outside the venue seemed to share her impeccable taste. The youngster handed the VIP guest a bunch of bright pink roses that complemented her outfit perfectly. Also turning heads at the glitzy bash were singer Delta Goodrem, in a full-length yellow tea rose gown, and Olivia Newton-John, who opted for green chiffon.

Since they started their official visit on Sunday Mary and her husband have been welcomed by hordes of fans everywhere they have gone. And their popularity was further boosted when Frederik, who came a humble 23rd in a yacht race on Sunday, proved what a good sport he was by buying beers for all the other crews.

Glamour
Mary gaat haar uiterste best doen over te komen als een meisje met aangeboren gratie en glamour en niet als gewoon burgermeisje dat per ongeluk een prins heeft gekust. Mary wordt vergezeld door haar visagist, twee Deense bodyguards en een soort hofdame die haar de namen van alle mensen die ze de hand zal schudden moet influisteren.

Tenger
Het is voor het Deense volk erg belangrijk dat Mary er weer wat gezonder uit gaan zien nadat ze de afgelopen tijd ontzettend mager is geworden. Men gaat zich daardoor zorgen maken over het feit of Mary wel een kind kan baren met zo’n tenger lijfje. Terwijl Mary een druk schema heeft aan wal zal haar man, Kroonprins Frederik vooral in een zeilboot te vinden zijn.

Buiging
Een woordvoerster van Mary heeft gezegd dat kinderen die Mary iets willen aanbieden zich aan geen enkele formaliteit hoeven te houden. Ze mogen dus gewoon op haar afstappen en hoeven geen buiging te maken of een handje te geven als ze daar te verlegen voor zijn.

Denmark's princesses lived up to their reputation for elegance as they stepped out in style at events on opposite sides of the globe.

Princess Mary made a stunning appearance in a full-length off-the-shoulder red gown and a diamond collar with matching drop earrings at a state dinner at the New South Wales Government House.

The event capped off a busy day for the Danish royals, as earlier that day Princess Mary had attended a luncheon hosted by the Mental Health Foundation. Her husband, Prince Frederik, spent the day with his Danish crew battling on the high seas as they had earlier competed in the Rolex Farr-40 World Sailing Championships.

Meanwhile in the cooler climes of Scandinavia, Princess Alexandra continued on with her two-day visit to Finland. The Hong Kong-born royal was looking radiant in a retro-style white hat and matching coat as she named the Finnish goodwill ambassadors who will head-up bicentennial celebrations for the birth of Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen.

To kick-off the eight-month-long celebration of Hans Christian Andersen's 200th birthday 40,000 guests have been invited to Copenhagen for the April 2 festivities. Denmark's entire royal family will be in attendance as well as monarchs from Sweden and the Netherlands.
