“Floods of tears”: Princess Mary feels unsafe after break-in at Danish summer palace
Princess Mary has been left shell shocked after a burglary has rocked the Danish Royal Family over the festive break.
Woman’s Day revealed that security at Marselisborg Palace in Aarhus was compromised just days after the royal family had left and the incident has left Princess Mary in “floods of tears”.
"The break-in at the royal residence was detected by a burglar alarm, which went off at 1.15 am on Friday,” according to local media.
The alarm had direct connection to the local police who mobilised all available crew."
"It's chilling for anyone to find that someone's broken into your home, but entirely another thing when it involves a royal family," says an insider.
"You can't help but think it was something very serious, given that the police aren't being very forthcoming with the details."
Princess Mary 47, her husband Prince Frederik, 51, and their children, Prince Christian, 14, Princess Isabella, 12, and nine-year-old twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine were all at the residence from December 20 to 30.
The incident has left the family feeling very unsafe.
"Mary's confessed that it was way too close for comfort and is very frightened that someone could even get in," says the insider.
"She has always been assured that all royal residences are among the most secure in the world, so she never bothered to ask any questions. But now she is second-guessing everything Fred has ever told her about their safety."
It’s believed that authorities are yet to capture the intruder, which is not a comforting thought to the mother-of-four. The family are now relaxing in Sweden.
