Queen Mary of Denmark's surprising fear regarding her children has come to the spotlight after she made a candid confession about feeling lonely following her move to Denmark from Australia.
Queen Mary's major issue after leaving Australia
In an interview with Danish children's newspaper Børneavisen, Mary shared that the language barrier was the biggest concern when she first moved.
"When I moved to Denmark, I didn't really know the language," she recalled. "When you don't know the language and you’re sitting at a dinner, or playing a game and can't really follow, you feel a bit left out."
'I felt very alone'
The Queen shared that while she learnt to navigate language over time and with people's kindness and help, losing her mother Henrietta 'Etta' left her with a notable void.
"I've also felt a bit left out," Mary said. "It has been especially in certain situations. For example, when I lost my mother, I felt very alone."
Mary was 25 when her mother passed away in 1997 after complications from heart surgery.
Her father John died earlier this year on April 11.
According to Woman's Day, a source has shared that Mary never got over the feeling of homesickness.
"Mary will never stop missing Australia and her family back home. The smells, the birdsong, the incredible food," the insider said.
Queen Mary unhappy over her children lost connection to their Aussie roots
The insider also revealed that Mary also worries that her children are not aware of their Aussie roots and wishes they had done something like Princess Ingrid of Norway, who has studied at the University of Sydney.
Queen Mary and King Frederik X of Denmark have four children: Crown Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, and twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine.
"It's always been a delicate dance because her children are part of a Royal lineage whereas she's just 'passing through', so they have to show unquestioning loyalty to Denmark," the source explains.
"She understands that but she would love to see them experience more of her home country."
It was reported that Mary goes to Australia to recharge and to "lick her wound" amid hectic royal life; however, the insider claimed that King Frederik fears that "one day she'll never come back".
