Princess Mary’s rugged-up royal kids

Icy temperatures don’t stop the little royals having fun…

Princess Mary’s little ones, Prince Christian, 3, and Princess Isabella, 21 months, were like any other Danish children when they took time out with their favourite uncle to muck around at the local playground.

Dressed in plenty of layers, the young royals were all smiles as they braved the winter temperatures on the trip with Prince Joachim and their nannies to a public park near Marselisborg Palace.

Isabella suffered a brief mishap when she took a tumble, but quickly cheered up after a turn on the swing.

Mary has always hoped to give her children a normal upbringing, although she admits the pressure of royal duties changed her initial decision to raise them without nannies.

“The routines are important to us. It gives us a good feeling that the children follow their routines regardless of whether we are with them or if they are taken care of by the nanny,” explains Mary, 36.
