The officer, hired to protect the Danish royal, apparently stepped over the line when he became more of a friend than “discreet, polite and professional”.

Mary, 42, from Tasmania, wed Frederik, 46, in 2004. The couple, who famously met in a pub in Sydney, have four children, Christian, Isabella and twins Vincent and Josephine.
