Kate Middleton and Mary of Denmark, two future queens… separated at birth

During the Kate Middleton’s solo royal tour in Denmarkeveryone noticed the impressive resemblance between the forty-year-old Duchess of Cambridge and the 50 year old Mary Donaldson. Even in style (the two even have some clothes in common). The future queenswho had already met in Copenhagen in 2011 for a Unicef ​​event and in 2016 at Royal Ascot in London, seem separated at birth (see gallery under). But there is much more to unite the «royal sisters». Mary doesn’t even have a drop of blue blood. Just like Kate. AND they both lived a beautiful tale of love by meeting their principlesWilliam and Frederick.

The love story between Frederik and Mary began in 2000, when the two met in a Sydney pub during the Olympics: Frederik was in Australia to support the Danish team, Mary, at the time pr, he had accepted the invitation of some friends. After the wedding (May 14, 2004), they arrived to crown the modern fairy tale four children: ChristianIsabella, and twins Vincent and Josephine. Kate Middleton, who met her William at St. Andrews University in 2001 and married him on April 29, 2011, for the moment she is at odds three children (George, Charlotte And Louis). But it is by no means excluded that it reaches the “royal sister” Mary. The Duchess in fact during the royal tour in Denmark confessed: «When I am surrounded by children of less than one year I become melancholy. I go home and say to William: “Let’s do another one” ».

To unite the two royalty there is also the battle for the environment. Mary, the “green princess”who has always been the godmother of the Copenhagen fashion summit dedicated to tomorrow’s sustainable fashion, last February interviewed by Corriere della Sera she said: “Being a princess helps me to support the work that is being done on a global scale to combat the climate emergency. I would give my title to a greener and more inclusive society“. Kate, with her husband William, has also been committed for years to save the planet. L’Earthshot Prizethe Royal Foundation’s recognition of the five best solutions that help the environment is just the latest example.

Kate and Mary are “twins” also due to the double age milestone that they both have at the beginning of 2022 they cut: the Duchess of Cambridge blew out 40 candles on 9 January; Prince Frederick’s wife turned 50 on February 5. Not only: the current sovereigns they refer to, Elizabeth II and Margaretha II, are cousins. And they both reach a historic milestone in 2022: Margrethe of Denmark 50 years of reign, Elizabeth II 70 years on the throne.

Kate and Mary represent the future of the Crown. For both, the challenge is to bring to court a new balance between everyday life (strengthened by the life lesson of their commoner childhood) and Protocol.. Surely both of them, when their day comes, will have their subjects on their side. Because the popularity of both continues to rise.
