Crown Princess Mary, the Tasmanian-born beauty who captured hearts with her royal love story, has made a rare public appearance with her kids, who are dead ringers for the 43-year-old and her husband.

Attending a gala in Aarhus, Denmark, on Wednesday, the mother of four was accompanied by two of her children and her husband, Prince Frederik.

Prince Christian, 9, and Princess Isabella, 7, smiled for cameras as they walked the red carpet with their parents, looking like veritable mini-mes.

Christian in particular bears a striking resemblance to his father, who is the heir apparent to the Danish throne.

Mary and Frederik have been married for 11 years after meeting and falling in love while Frederik was in Australia for the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

Formerly Mary Donaldson, the Princess now lives with her family in Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen.

The couple’s other two children are twins, Vincent and Josephine, born in 2011.
