Princess Mary takes a turn playing chauffeur as she's spotted peddling palace employee around town in a cargo bike
- Crown Princess Mary was pictured riding a bike in Copenhagen
- An employee, believed to be the royal nanny, was seated in the bike's cart
- Royal was spotted by an Australian tourist who snapped pictures
- Mary has previously been seen ferrying her children in the bike

As the Crown Princess of Denmark, she is used to being transported about town in a regal horse-drawn carriage or chauffeur-driven limousine.
But as a born and bred Aussie girl, Princess Mary also remains resolutely down to earth.
The 43-year-old royal was pictured doing the legwork while she ferried a member of her staff around Copenhagen in a bicycle cart.

Not your average cyclist: Crown Princess Mary was spotted riding a cargo bike around Copenhagen recently, with a member of staff sitting in the cart in front
Royal spotting: An Australian tourist, Angela Carroll, saw the Crown Princess while sitting in a cab recently, and whipped out her camera to capture the sight
The Crown Princess rode a Nihola Family Cargo Bike, with a woman believed to be her children's nanny, Mette Hansen, seated in the front of the three-wheeled vehicle.
The Copenhagen-made bike is a favourite mode of transport for Mary, who is more often seen carting her children around the Danish capital in it.
The pictures were taken by an Australian tourist who was sitting in a cab when she spotted the easily recognisable royal heading towards her.

Watchful: A bodyguard trailed behind the Crown Princess, who appeared to go largely unnoticed by other pedestrians
Angela Carroll was en route to the Royal Palace, according to the Daily Telegraph, and was likely hoping to catch a distant glimpse of the Australian-born princess - never imagining luck would deliver Mary straight to her.
Crown Princess Mary was dressed casually in jeans, a T-shirt and white trainers for the outing, and kept warm in a blue puffa jacket.
Her passenger donned a green T-shirt for her joyride around the city, while a protection officer kept a low profile riding his own bike a short distance behind them.
Other than the eagle-eyed tourist, Mary's bike ride appeared to go largely unnoticed by locals, with one pedestrian passing in front of the Crown Princess without a second glance.
Typical sighting: Mary has previously been seen ferrying her children around the Danish capital in the Nihola Family Cargo Bike, which sells for around $4,800
Mary has previously been seen riding bicycles near Copenhagen Harbour with her children, Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, and twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine.
Her preferred mode of transport, the Nihola Family Cargo Bike, can carry up to 100 kilograms in the cart, and cost approximately $4,800 (£2,330).
The Crown Princess is known for her sporting prowess and dedication to fitness.
She is often pictured enthusiastically taking part in activities during her official duties, from golfing to yacht races, and more recently, children's soccer games and walking across a one-kilometre bridge tourist attraction.
