Mary's heartbreak over new family feud

Princess Mary has been left devastated by a shock new rift in her broken Aussie family, as relations hit a disturbing new low.

Veteran Danish royal expert Kirsten Balslev has sensationally lifted the lid on the secret fallout between the royal family and Mary’s stepmother Susan Moody in a revealing exposé.

Speaking exclusively to New Idea, Kirsten says that Susan – who married Mary’s father John Donaldson in 2001, after her mother’s death – has been banned from Danish royal functions after a series of jaw-dropping indiscretions and betrayals.

The sad fallout has left Mary heartbroken, devastated that her family have been torn apart yet again after this latest crisis.

‘Queen Margrethe is very fond of Mary’s father, Professor John Donaldson, but she and Mary have been very upset by Susan Moody’s behaviour because she talks too much,’ Kirsten tells.
