DENMARK'S Crown Princess Mary will introduce her twins, Prince
Vincent and Princess Josephine, to Australia in November - her first
official visit since 2005.
The mother of four and Crown Prince Frederik will visit Melbourne,
Sydney and Canberra from November 19 to 26 as guests of the Australian
Government.And though there is no mention of Princess Mary's children in the official announcement, she is expected to combine the business of her trip with a visit to Hobart to introduce the twins to her home town.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the royal couple would lead a business delegation focused on green energy, sustainable living and food technologies.
The Crown Prince and Princess held a very special place in the hearts of the nation, Ms Gillard told the Sunday Herald Sun.
"We have watched Australian-born Crown Princess Mary take on the duties of royal life with grace and dignity," she said.
"Through her, Australia embraces a new, stronger connection and friendship with Denmark.
"I know their visit will be highly anticipated by the people of Australia."
Princess Mary and Prince Frederik are tipped to attend the Alannah and Madeline Foundation's Starry Starry Night fundraiser in Melbourne - though there were no firm details of her itinerary in the statement to be released today.
Governor General Quentin Bryce will play host to the royal couple during their visit.
The couple visited Australia privately in 2006 and 2008.
After meeting at Sydney pub The Slip Inn during the Sydney Olympics, they married in 2004.
The royal twins' older siblings - Prince Christian, 5, and Princess Isabella, 4 - may also join the family trip.
After the birth of her twins in January, Mary said she was keen to bring her new babies home to Australia before Christmas.
"We are looking forward to introducing them to friends and family back home," Princess Mary said. "We don't have complete plans arranged just yet, but it's hopefully not too far away."
Famous for wearing his heart on his sleeve, Prince Frederik cried during the birth of the twins, according to doctors.
Princess Mary bucked modern obstetric tradition by giving birth to the twins naturally rather than via caesarean. Doctors described the births as "natural and normal", though Princess Josephine arrived in breech position.
Earlier this year, Mary's sister-in-law Leanne Donaldson (wife of her brother John) said they were looking forward to the twins' first visit to Australia.
The twins were each christened with four names: Prince Vincent Frederik Minik Alexander, and Princess Josephine Sofia Ivalu Mathilda.
