Danish Queen Mary’s father passed away, and Denmark is remembering the man who walked her down the aisle on her marriage day when she became queen lady. At a Copenhagen house, colors are flying at half-mast.
John Donaldson, the parents of the Australian-born royal, passed away on Saturday at the age of 84 in Hobart. In recent years, his wellness had declined.
At the conclusion of a six-day condition visit to Australia, Queen Mary and her father, King Frederik, had the opportunity to invest “precious day” with him last month.
” My views are dark, and my heart is heavy. My dearly beloved father has passed aside, Queen Mary wrote in an Instagram post.
” But I know that when the pain subsides, the thoughts will illuminate my day, and love and gratitude for all he gave me and taught me did remain strong.”
Professor of applied mathematics Henrietta Donaldson was born in Scotland in 1941, and he eventually immigrated to Australia in 1963 with his family. They were born in Australia in 1975. In 1997, he lost his wife.
He wed Susan Horwood, a British writer who writes crime books under the pseudonym Susan Moody, in 2001.
The Swedish royal house’s website now allows users to post messages in a modern condolences book.
Mette Frederiksen, the acting Norwegian prime minister, expressed her sincere condolences to Queen Mary and her home.
She said in a statement that” the Swedish persons met John Donaldson when he led his child up the aisle and gave Denmark its Crown Princess” with delight and comfort.
” We will never forget that,” the statement goes.
During the cathedral marriage ceremony at Copenhagen Cathedral on May 14, 2004, Professor Donaldson wore a suit and beamed as he gave his daughter away.
The youngest of Professor Donaldson’s four children, Queen Mary is Jane’s girl, John’s daughter, Patricia.
Crown Prince Christian, who may one day be the Danish king, is also a member of his family. He is likewise survived by 12 children.
A personal memorial service will be held by the community.
