It's a Girl for Princess Mary

Saturday April 21, 2007
Australian-born Crown Princess Mary of Denmark has given birth to a daughter at Copenhagen University Hospital this afternoon, local time.

The Crown Princess is the former Mary Donaldson of Tasmania who met Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

The royal baby, third in line to the Danish throne, is a sister for the couple's first child, Prince Christian, born in October 2005.

The royal couple were married in May 2004.

They were back in Australia for an official royal visit in 2005, and a later unofficial visit to Crown Princess Mary's hometown of Hobart, Tasmania.
