The engagement is anounced

24 September 2003

In an official communication from Court, queen Margrethe II anounced that she gives her consent to the marriage of her son to Mary Elizabeth Donaldson.

At the same time it was anounced that Mary had resigned from her job at Navision.

Her CV was added to Frederik's on the official website of the Danish Monarchy. It was accompanied by her first official photos, taken by Steen Evald.

While Denmark was buzzing with the (expected) news, Frederik & Mary were on holiday in Rome. It's there that Frederik proposed to Mary earlier on.
