What the Aussie gossip mags say[/FONT]

................................The real tattle rag deal is to be found in New Idea's and Woman's Day's kindly invitation to guide us expertly back into the good old days of royal "plots" and princesses having breakdowns and much-loved queens snubbing commoners marrying into the family. For nothing is as tantalising, as perverse or as cryptic as the splendid lives and loonies that make up a monarchy, wherever it may be. This week, it's in Denmark and Our Mary is its quarry. [/FONT]

New Idea kicks off the royal intrigue with news that a German publication called Neue Woche has published claims Mary has "become dependent on medication" since her son's birth, with similar "nasty rumours" circulated by a Norwegian newspaper's website. It seems Mary is having trouble with the mother-in-law, with "some European magazines" reporting the pair have "had words". Oh, and Neue Woche reports Mary attending a recent charity concert with an "expressionless" face. [/FONT]

The "royal expert" Anne Skjelborg Jensen has told Danish newspaper BT Mary is being outshone by the divorced goody-two-shoes Princess Alexandra. "We have seen Alexandra among the tsunami victims, but Mary is mostly seen at fashion fairs," she proclaims. The knives are out for Mary, but what fascinating tales lie ahead. [/FONT]
