In December, a blue gum tree was planted in Hobart's Long Beach Park to mark the first anniversary of Mary's accession to the Danish throne alongside her husband.
A reciprocal oak tree was planted in Copenhagen.
Mary, 53, ascended the throne in January 2024 after the shock abdication announcement by Queen Margrethe. She has made history by becoming the first ever Australian monarch.
Mary was born in Hobart and attended Taroona High School.
She famously met her future husband at The Slip Inn during the 2000 Summer Olympics.

The couple were married on May 14, 2004 at Copenhagen Cathedral. Mary carried a bouquet of Australian snow gum eucalyptus along with blooms from the Palace garden as a nod to her heritage.
There is speculation Mary will visit Australia in an official capacity for the Women Deliver 2026 conference which will be held in Melbourne on April 27-30.
It will see advocates and champions come together to advance gender equality.

She was also present when the event, which is held every three years, came to Copenhagen in 2016. Mary was there in her role as patron of Women Deliver.
