Along with her children, Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, the royal, who is soon to celebrate her 50th birthday, visited Frederiksborg Museum of National History in Hillerod, a town 24 miles from Copenhagen.

The exhibition includes a brand new painting of the Crown Princess, which shows her looking regal as ever in a white off-the-shoulder dress with her warm brunette hair delicately styled in a low-bun.

The incredible painting shows Princess Mary sat on a purple chair, looking calmly out of the window beside her which reflects trees on the wall she is placed in front of.

She and her family unveiled the painting, which is to act as the centre-piece in the new exhibition.

The rest of the exhibition tells the Crown Princess’ personal story through photographs and personal items of hers, as well as her importance to the modern Danish Royal Family.

And yesterday, she was at Copenhagen Zoo to welcome the beginning of a garden named after her.

Along with her youngest children, twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, the Princess took a day to see the animals and speak to experts.

The building of Mary’s Australian Garden is now underway, and is meant to create more space for new and existing species in the zoo, including the cockatoo, Kookaburras and rock-wallabies, all animals found in her native Australia.
