Princess Mary of Denmark honed her deportment skills in Sydney, preparing herself for royal life as she anticipated her future role as queen.

The luxury real estate agent, originally from Tasmania, crossed paths with Denmark’s Crown Prince Frederik while residing in Sydney during the late 2000 Olympic Games. Previously employed in advertising and living in Bondi Junction, she attended an introductory presentation at Starquest (later Starmakers) in early 2001, expressing to deportment teacher and life coach Teresa Page her desire for a significant life transformation. Recalling their conversation, Ms. Page mentioned that the agent had expressed, “Well, I really want to change my life. I feel like life is passing me by.”
