00:00 Denmark's royal proclamation won't have quite as much pomp and ceremony as King Charles's
00:07 coronation last year.
00:10 Expect less extravagance and more informality.
00:14 Final rehearsals are underway and stages are being set up on the streets of Copenhagen.
00:20 But there's one place in Sydney giving the Danish celebrations a run for their money.
00:25 Back when Mary was still an Aussie commoner, she met the man destined to become King of
00:30 Denmark here at the Slip-In Pub during the 2000 Olympic Games.
00:34 What are the chances of someone walking into a 130 year old pub and meeting a prince and
00:41 becoming a queen of a European country? It'd have to be like next to a million, billion,
00:46 trillion to one.
00:47 She seems pretty cool and like, I don't know, gives a bit of Aussie spunk I think sometimes,
00:52 which is nice.
00:53 I'm actually so proud of her, I think she's done really, really well.
00:56 The Slip-In has gone all out, celebrating as the meeting place of Mary and Frederick,
01:02 even adding a Danish themed cocktail to the menu called the There's Something About Mary.
01:09 There's also an El Frederico hot dog for those partial to a Danish sausage.
01:15 I ordered it for Mary and I love hot dogs, so a bit of both.
01:18 Once her new royal title is proclaimed this weekend, Mary will make history as the first
01:24 ever Australian born queen. The Australian Government has made a donation to Wildcare
01:29 Tasmania as a gift to mark the occasion.
01:33 There's lots of weed control, coast care, looking after seabirds and other endangered
01:40 species so, and the devils is one of those.
01:43 Another Tassie icon hoping to win over the hearts of people at both ends of the world.
