Surrounded by family, the princess enjoyed a typically laid-back Aussie break, report Glen Williams and Frank Thorne.
It was the most joyous of homecomings. The Tasmanian winter was blasting a chilly wind across the Derwent, but it was all sunny smiles from Princess Mary.
And the moment she laid eyes on her siblings – Patricia, Jane and big brother John – there were tears of joy. Mary, blissfully pregnant with twins, was finally home.
Smartly dressed in a long grey jacket over a loose white blouse, Mary left enough of a gap to display a telltale glimpse of her growing tummy.
“Mary looked so fresh as she stepped down from the plane,” an enthusiastic royal watcher remarked. “Despite this being a private visit, the news of her twins is really causing a buzz.”
With excited fans calling out her name, Mary chatted to security staff before being whisked off in a silver Honda to enjoy her family reunion in the privacy of her sister Jane Stephens’ West Hobart home. Here in her home town, this glamorous European princess is still Mary Donaldson, the youngest of the Donaldson clan.
