Locals in Hobart have expressed their excitement at Tasmanian-born Queen Mary’s ascent to the Danish throne.
Mary Donaldson married the then Prince Frederik in 2004 after they met at Sydney’s Slip Inn.
Queen Mary succeeded to the Danish throne with her husband in Copenhagen on Sunday (local time).
Hobart locals have offered their congratulations to the new monarch, with one Tasmanian labelling it a “proud moment” for the state.
Another local reminisced on going to the same school as Mary Donaldson, regarding her as “very personable and outgoing”.
