Many thanks, I'm surprised to read that she melted down during Henrik's funeral : "That empathy was on show at the February 20 private funeral of Prince Henrik; Mary wiped away tears as her father-in-law was farewelled after he passed away in his sleep on February 13 at age 83. Dressed in black with a double strand of pearls, she pulled her upset daughter Josephine close for a cuddle, stroking the little girl’s face." She just looks very angry at her kids , not sad . And who gives a crap about the "double strand of pearls " she was wearing. And all I was fake tear wiping. She makes everything about her including her husband's 50 birthday. What a shallow life Ironically, the double strand of pearls was a wedding gift from Henrik. (A very good choice for the funeral... she's only worn them a couple of times while he was alive, though.) What a HUGE sugary moment to miss! How did her PR department not get that in?

Amber Petty has just "revealed the truth" bout Mary meeting Fred in the Herald Sun today. She says that Mary knew that royalty were going to be at the Slip Inn, and that the other story is Bull---t.

I first heard that they knew that royalty was going to be present at the Slip Inn that night in 2002 ... when in Copenhagen as my tour guide said is was common knowledge that the royals went there during the Olympics and so Mary and her friends went there ... as did many other people in Sydney during the Olympics.
I don't know why Amber Petty would be thinking this is a big 'reveal' now when it has been in every story I have read about Fred and Mary's meeting for the past 18 years.
Since posting the above I remembered an incident from the Olympics ... my brother owned the license on a tavern a few blocks from the Slip Inn (about 10 - 15 minutes walk) and someone asked him was he jealous of the Slip Inn getting the royals in there and he said he wasn't as so many of the patrons were there just to gawk at the royals. At the table next to us was a group of young girls who left after that ... now did they go to see the 'royals' I have no idea but it was being openly discussed in parts of Sydney that that is where the royals went. I don't remember any names being mentioned just that 'the royals' went there.

As luvcharles said, many people would have been in the Slip Inn that night, to see the royals. I don't think Mary did anything wrong or unethical that night. Why Amber Petty decided to reveal that now, after almost 20 years, that is something I don't get.

Ah the article with the famous "big boned" comment. The article that may have started her obsessive dieting That article is new to me. I find it both interesting and disappointing that they have to remark about her weight because they have no other information on this (at the time) newcomer. It would be hard for anyone to ignore those references, particularly someone in a new relationship with so much at stake. That’s unfortunate. No wonder people end up with issues regarding weight. Say what you want about Mary, I certainly see the gold digger aspects, but she slimmed down and stayed there. She didn’t lose her mind over it like others we’ve seen. Good for her on that count.

Mary has had the benefit of living in a country that is very supportive of this outdated institution. Also Joachim and Alex divorced around the same time as their marriage which took some attention away from their relationship.

Ah the article with the famous "big boned" comment. The article that may have started her obsessive dieting Wow, three unnecessary references to weight! It doesn’t take much sometimes to push people to be obsessive. Wasn’t it one comment that pushed Karen Carpenter over the edge?
