Princess Mary, formerly Mary Donaldson, met her Danish beau in Sydney during the 2000 OIympics. 

The pair famously met at iconic Sydney pub, The Slip Inn. 

The story of a Tasmanian-born woman falling in love with a prince and becoming a member of the Danish royal family has become something of a fairytale story in her home country.
