This is the best summary I could come up with:
As Denmark prepares to welcome a new king and queen to the throne, an unassuming pub on the opposite side of the globe is celebrating its role in the ascension of the world’s first Australian-born monarch.
Frederik, the Crown Prince of Denmark, first met the Tasmanian real estate manager Mary Donaldson nearly 24 years ago at Sydney’s Slip Inn while the city was swept up in Olympic fever, though the pub is a little different these days.
On Saturday, after picking up their wedding rings in the city, soon-to-be-married couple Adam Knight and Sharon Atherton chose to wander down to the harbourside pub best known for the modern-day fairytale.
The venue has a special menu item in honour of Frederik – the “El Frederiko Hot Dog” – a nod to Danish hotdog culture still in keeping with the Spanish language.
Birgitte Maibom, the chief executive of the Danish Church Australia, says while most people are sad to see Queen Margaret abdicate, they are excited to celebrate the couple.
The Australian government announced on Saturday it would make a contribution to Wildcare Tasmania to support the conservation of the Tasmanian devil, which is only found in the wild on the island state where Mary grew up.
