When the world's last reigning queen announced her abdication, history was also made in a country far, far away.
"I will hand over the throne to my son Crown Prince Frederik," Queen Margrethe II of Denmark said.
Her decision to make way for "the next generation" of Danish royals has sent ripples around the world.
But it has also delivered the first Australian-born queen consort, Crown Prince Frederik's wife, Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark.
Less than a month after Queen Margrethe II took over the throne in 1972 following the death of King Frederick IX, a girl called Mary Donaldson was born on the other side of the world in a small Hobart hospital. BBC
