Mary and Fred falling in love again

As Crown Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik stroll arm in arm along the windswept shoreline, the look of love on their faces is plain for all to see.

The intimate, romantic moment shows that after seven years of marriage, the bond between the pair is stronger than ever. Theirs is proving to be an enduring, feel-good love story – one that proves fairytales really do come true.

As the couple began their annual summer cruise aboard the royal yacht Dannebrog, it was very clear that the heir to the Danish throne is just as smitten with his beautiful Mary as he was on their wedding day back in May 2004.

He seemed to echo those feelings again, not being able to take his eyes off his beautiful wife as they sailed in blazing sunshine into the resort town of Skagen, Nothern Denmark.
