Do you see anyone you recognise in this commercial?
No? Maybe take a closer look at the young lady sitting in the end seat, elegantly flipping through a newspaper. Does her long glossy hair or her graceful demeanour strike you as familiar?
If you haven’t figured it out, the young woman at the end is none other than our very own Princess Mary.
However, at the time this commercial was filmed of course, she wasn’t Princess Mary at all. She was Mary Donaldson, in training in an advertising firm at just 26 years old.
At this time, she probably wasn’t aware of the fact that in just two years she would meet the man of her dreams (who would just happen to be a Prince, of course) and be swept away to his castle in a faraway land, or that she would give birth to the future King of Denmark and a host of adorable siblings.
Mary wound up starring in the commercial, which was a pitch from the advertising company for which she was working to V-Line, because the set was short of extras.
And even though she is just an extra, we think she stole the show. Don’t you?
