Crown Princess Mary, often likened to Kate Middleton as the "Kate Middleton of Denmark," is known for her immense popularity among the Danish public, according to royal author Gareth Russell, speaking on GB News.
Russell discussed the potential impact of the relationship between Kate, the Princess of Wales, and Mary, the new Queen, on King Charles' reign. He highlighted that Crown Princess Mary and the Princess of Wales already share a close friendship, along with common interests.
The author noted that journalists have observed a "natural rapport" between the two royals during state or official visits. Russell predicted a continuing close relationship between the new King Frederick X and Queen Mary and the Prince and Princess of Wales, maintaining the strong ties between the two monarchies seen with Queen Margrethe II and Queen Elizabeth II.
On Sunday, Prince Frederik and Mary will assume the roles of King and Queen of Denmark as Queen Margrethe steps down from the throne after 52 years.
