In 2004, Mary Donaldson's life changed forever.
On May 14 of that year, she wed Prince Frederik, the Prince of Denmark and Mary from Tasmania became her Royal Highness The Crown Princess of Denmark.
18 years later since that moment in time, Crown Princess Mary has just turned 50.
And with two new revealing interviews sharing some valuable insight, we unpack what her life looks like now as a royal in the spotlight.

On October 15, 2005, the couple welcomed their first son Christian. Less than two years later on April 21, 2007, their daughter Isabella was born.
That same year, Princess Mary established The Mary Foundation. It focuses on three areas: bullying and wellbeing, domestic violence and loneliness.
"The last ten years was a rewarding and difficult journey," she told The Australian Women's Weekly in 2017. "We worked hard with specialists and partners who established The Mary Foundation. Our efforts aimed to make lives of people better and to give a sense of hope to them for the future."
In January 2011, the couple welcomed twins Vincent and Josephine.
"Finding the right woman and getting married and having the children that I have now, it was something I could only dream of back then. For that dream to come true is what I appreciate the very most," said Prince Frederik to New Idea in 2018.
