Q: Your Royal Higness, how is it to lose your anonymity?
M: "It's not easy suddenly seeing yourself exposed and be someone a lot has an opinion about. Previously I could do what I wanted without being watched when I was in a public space. Still I feel fortunate to have settled in Denmark... In other countries you are more exposed when you are famous or a royal".
Q: How much of your time are you able to schedule yourself?
M: "Time is a luxury... But we are also busy with Schackenborg, it's not just our home, it's an agricultural business, which must be run.... fortunately my husband and I work together on that".
Q: "What with Prince Joachim did you fell for?
M: (Laughing) "Take it easy, I wont say: All of it! But almost ... His kindness.... and his great patience. I took pretty long about deciding whether I would move to Denmark and he was just so patient. And then he is very stubborn...".
Q: So it was because of his stubborness that you were persuaded to move to Denmark and marry?
M: "Yes, he isn't a man to give up. Just the kind of man I wanted"!
Q: What rolemodels did you grow up with?
M: "The first I think of is my father's mother. She is besides being my grandmother, my best friend".
Q: What did she say when you told her you had met a Danish Prince?
M: "Now, that's a good question (laughing). My family always put my happiness first. And my grandmother does not look at what people are, she just wish for me to be happy. When she had been with Joachim for an hour, she was convinced that I had made a good choice. My husband was pretty clever too. Because when he was going to propose to me, he asked my grandmother for my hand in marriage, before he asked my parents. That he did so made me love him even more".
Q: When you said yes to Joachim, you said to an entirely different life... did that make you nervous?
M: "Yes, I was afraid not being able to live up to the expectations of my husband and other people.
But I've learned something important from my sister-in-law Crown Princess Mary: Don't worry, things will come into place! And they do. Even though Crown Princess Mary is busy, she has always been a support to me, when I needed it".
Q: When do you most feel like a princess and when do you most feel like Marie?
M: "Honestly? I always feel like Marie. My life has changed but inside I'm still the same"
