Den Princess:stiletto victim

丹麥王子冷觀王妃掉鞋

Denmark's Princess Mary was forced into a very unregal position when one of her high heels got caught in a cement crack during a visit to Arlington National Cemetery in the US, Australian media reported. But unlike the fairytale Cinderella, her husband Crown Prince Frederik did not need to go search for the shoe's owner – Denmark's Ambassador Friis Arne Petersen instead came to Mary's aid with a steadying hand. The couple's union is considered as a Cinderella story, since Mary is an Australian-born civilian.

據澳大利亞媒體報道，丹麥王妃瑪麗近日因"掉鞋"事件，成為又一位因高跟鞋出糗的名媛。當時丹麥王儲和王妃兩人正在參觀美國阿靈頓國家公墓，瑪麗的鞋跟突然卡在了水泥地的縫隙里。在整個過程中，弗雷德里克王儲一直"冷眼旁觀"，沒有像童話里的王子那般，去撿起"灰姑娘"掉下的水晶鞋，反而是丹麥駐美大使彼得森向瑪麗伸出了援助之手。瑪麗原本是澳大利亞平民，她與王儲的結合被視為現代版的"灰姑娘"童話。
