Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark Quotations

I am happy to continue with my journey through time.

I mean, every child at one stage dreams of being a prince or a princess.

I think it is nice to get older.

The world is so different for a child, waking in the mornings, wide-eyed and ready to take it all in.
