**Princess Mary Spotted in Tracksuits on Morning Jog with Family in Australia**
Princess Mary of Denmark has been seen for the first time sporting tracksuits as she takes a morning jog with her husband, Prince Frederick, and their son during their casual Christmas vacation in Australia.
The Australian-born royal wasted no time in staying active after arriving in Sydney last week for the holidays, as she was captured jogging in the city on a Tuesday morning.
Accompanied by her husband, Crown Prince Frederick, and their 11-year-old son, Prince Vincent, Princess Mary donned an under-armour hat, a grey lululemon jacket, navy blue leggings, and grey Asics runners for her workout session.
The 50-year-old mother-of-four styled her long brown hair in a ponytail as she engaged with locals and kept pace with her son, Vincent, while Prince Frederick tried to keep up.
Prince Frederick, known for his leg shark tattoo, sported Hawaiian print shorts, a black jogger, a white T-shirt, and matching socks, while Vincent opted for a Nike T-shirt, black shorts, and trainers.
Both father and son displayed tattoos symbolizing their time with the Danish navy’s elite soldiers.
The royal family’s visit to Australia signifies their first official trip to the country since 2013, with Princess Mary having previously made a secret visit to Melbourne in 2021 for her 50th birthday.
This current visit is private, emphasizing that she is not in Australia in any official capacity.
The family is expected to celebrate Christmas with the Donaldson family in Tasmania, Princess Mary’s birthplace, likely staying at Government House where they lodged during their last visit.
While in Sydney, the family has been spotted enjoying outings at Bondi Beach and dining at Sydney’s Shell House, a historic mansion-style bar and restaurant.
The trip serves as a welcome distraction for Princess Mary and Prince Frederick amid recent drama within the royal family involving Queen Margrethe and Prince Joachim’s children losing their titles.
The royal couple’s enduring love story began when they met by chance at a pub in Sydney during the 2000 Olympic Games, eventually leading to their engagement in 2003 at Malienborg castle.
Prince Frederick recently broke his silence on the family turmoil, expressing sadness over the impact of his mother’s decision to strip titles from some family members.
As direct descendants of the future king, Princess Mary and her children were unaffected by the ruling.
The couple’s relationship with Joachim and his wife, Princess Marie, remains complex, highlighting the challenges faced within the royal circle.
Princess Mary and Prince Frederick’s commitment to each other has stood the test of time, from their initial meeting in Sydney to their engagement and marriage in Denmark.
The royal family’s holiday in Australia offers them a chance to unwind and create lasting memories away from the pressures of royal duties.
Princess Mary’s dedication to maintaining an active lifestyle even during vacation reflects her commitment to health and well-being.
As they continue to enjoy their time in Australia, the royal couple’s bond remains strong, weathering the storms of royal controversies with grace and resilience.
