Princess Mary's family under siege

Princess Mary's family under siege?
"Madam has to show off – but what on earth is she showing everyone?" the blogger rages. "Old face, dead, fake hair and no maternal instincts. Fred looks completely disengaged. You would be too if you were married to that!"

A mystery blogger's vendetta against the princess now cruelly targets her children.

Since Tasmanian-born Mary Donaldson married Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark, her life has seemed like a modern-day fairytale. Aussie women want to be her and the Danish public have welcomed her as their own. But, sadly for Mary, there’s a downside to global adulation. Online bullies are taking aim at our princess — and their snide comments are as unfair as they are cruel.

Danish magazine Her & Nu has called out the nameless online author of Royal Danish Media Watch, whose bad-taste commentary of Mary's life has left her supporters fuming. The female blogger slams Mary while "praising to the sky" Prince Frederik and, reports the mag, "The hatred has now expanded to include [Mary's] children." Among the "toxic opinions" is a nasty piece attacking not only Mary’s looks but her mothering skills.

"Madam has to show off — but what on earth is she showing everyone?" the blogger rages. "Old face, dead, fake hair and no maternal instincts. Fred looks completely disengaged. You would be too if you were married to that!" Referencing a recent family photoshoot in which Princess Josephine, 2, was too sick to participate, the blogger, who did not respond to the mag's request for comment, snipes, "Josephine is not sick. She is just ugly. She is probably in a very unattractive stage and Mary can’t handle it!"

The site even takes aim at Mary's best friend, Adelaide radio host Amber Petty, who was a bridesmaid at the royal wedding. "Mary is an egregious person of questionable character...by reinforcing her refusal to give up 'best friendship' with Amber Petty, noted skank, sell-out and anti-feminist," the blog says. But Amber laughs off the comments.

As an American I have no idea who she is. So global, in your dreams. And quite frankly she is not pretty.

The bloggers Hester and Cece quickly 'edited' the blog when they got the media mentions in Denmark and Australia. They removed their most revolting posts which is why magically no one could find the posts referred to in Woman's Day and Her og Nu. These two, especially Hester (from Victoria???), systematically take every opportunity to post every possible negative thing they can 1) about Mary, 2) about the children of Mary and Frederik, 3) about Frederik and Queen Margrethe, 4) about the Donaldson family, and 5) anti-Danish sentiment, which the Danish conveners of Royal Dish should be ashamed to sponsor. The small but toxic anti-Mary brigade in Denmark, Australia, the United States, Canada, Britain, etc are sloppy, vindictive posters who make more assumptions than Mafiosi under siege. The attacks on the children are especially despicable. They go way back to the birth of Christian without let up since! Such libellous, toxic, Mary-Mafiosi deserve nothing but contempt. Pure charlatans!
I just have to disagree that Mary's life style is no different to hundres or thousands of other people. And that's forgetting the palace. I cannot imagine thousands of people having servants, security and also afford to spend $35,000 on a handbag.
Sounds like someone out there had the 'hots' for Frederik and it wasn't reciprocated. Mary looks like a lovely person and he's lucky to have her as his wife. I, for one, couldn't think of anything worse than marrying into any royal family with all the protocol and nonsense they go on with - it would drive me nuts!
Who really cares what some stupid woman writes. Anyone in there right mind can see that Princess Mary is the best in the world. She is right up there where Prncess Diana was. Mary is one beautiful woman & an awesome mother from what I have seen & read about her. GO MARY YOUR THE BEST. We love our Lady Mary here in Aussie.
Betty , As a real mum who has the day to day care of my children I am not the least bit chessed off about Mary appearing in magazines, as I am happy with my lot, and and can only wish Mary and family happines also. If people are not happy with their life some may feel jealous but most will also be happy for Mary. Nobbody had heard of any of the royal brides that have recently married into their a royal family until as you say they snagged a prince, so it is no different for any.
This is Princess Mary we're talking about here, her latest trip to Australia we saw Australian kids curtsying to her. Now Australians do not bow or curtsy to anybody except Queen Elizabeth 2 and even that’s optional nowadays. So that was just bad form and totally disgusting. No wonder we see blogs like Woman's Day reported and there are many more out there. So I expect real mums who have the day to day care of their children are a little cheesed off about Perfect Mary appearing in magazines and the newspapers and will vent their feelings where ever and when ever they get a few minutes to spare on line. After all we didn’t all come from a perfect family, who no one had ever heard about until Mary snagged a prince. Looking at all the blogs out there in cyber space I am surprised there are not a lot more, maybe there are and I haven’t spent enough time looking. Well “I Feel Better Now” thanks Medicare for the slogan.
Nobody is saying everyone has to like all, it would be unrealistic to think everyone of us likes everyone else, but the vast majority of us have a satisfying and happy life and do not feel that the need to get out kicks from being down right rude and nasty, thank goodness. The live style Mary leads is no different to hundres or thousands other people but the statement reeks of jealousy- and as we know jealousy is a curse. The recent photos realeased of the children are simply adorable, hope to see them in the magazine soon.
When people continue to see others negatively it indicates that that person is more likely to have depression and certainly anti social-behaviour and likely to be uneducated, so we should all feel pity for the posters, they obviously have major problems. The children are so lovely, and Mary so warm and kind hearted, I wish only the best for this beautiful family.
