The Joy, Sincerity, Warmth, Respect, Love, Elegance, & Honesty in all these wonderful people is Genuine!! NO camera seeking, NO publicity motivated, NO money hungry/ petty individuals in attendance at this ceremony!! So nice to see CIVILITY & CLASS & DIGNITY. So different than our callous, cheap & tawdry world we experience daily in the US.. and now, the UK. LONG LIVE & PROSPER ROYALS OF DENMARK!!
Watching Mr Donaldson's speech to his daughter for the first time made me realize that Mary's speech to her husband on his 50th birthday was no accident.
Bravo to the Dane's for welcoming this beautiful classy woman into the Royal family. Her father obviously so intensely proud of her and all she's accomplished. So, sad though her mother couldn't witness this wonderful moment in her daughter's life.
What a terrific father of the bride speech! He hit all the points: graciousness to host and new in-laws, love and pride of daughter, acknowledgement of his late wife, compliments and welcome to new son-in-law, and pithy quote at the end. Also not overlong and beginning on a humorous note. I'm not surprised to learn that Mr. Donaldson is a professor so is comfortable with public speaking even if the audience includes royal heads of Europe.
Oh, lovely! I think this must be my favorite royal wedding in memory: the bride and groom are straight out of a fairy tale, and this father of the bride speech was so heartfelt... Mr Donaldson must have been quite a handsome devil in his youth, too, to be so dashing in his later years
A very wonderful speech Mr Donalson . your daughter crown Mary will make a good queen of Denmark.God bless you all in good health, prosperity, & abundantly❤
I have listened to his marvellous speech before, but as I listen, really listen to all the messages, especially about Mary's mother missing this her wonderful day, if I was Mary I would be crying my eyes out.The message he gave to Frederik was of a wonderful supportive father-in-law.From reading about Mr Donaldson I see a very fine man with a great sense of humour.I am in Canada and he is one person I would enjoy meeting. Now almost 13 yrs later he has 4 beautiful grandchildren from this couple. Too bad they live so far apart.God bless you Mr. Donaldson. Thank you.
Mary’s father and stepmom lived in Denmark for a period of time during the early years of her marriage to Frederick. John was working as a professor at the University of Aarhus. I know this because friends of ours were living there and were in the same Danish class as Mary’s stepmom, Susan. I don’t know how long John and Susan lived there but they were definitely living in Denmark at the time of Prince Christian’s birth.
From whence a prospective mate comes from in terms of family is very important. Mary's father shows she comes from class. The family of the mate of Prince Harry should have been a flaming red flag for him.
His confidence and poise in what would have made most shrink under the pressure of a royal state occasion, is remarkable. I wonder what his career was. Handsome man as well. Daughter is lovely.
For sure he is da proudest father in world ,what more could u ask ,da daughter will become a Queen of Denmark .Lovely speech well said .All da best for da future. GREETINGS from Auckland New Zealand.
The Donaldsons left Scotland, and went to the other side of the world, only for one of their daughters to end up as Queen of Denmark. That's quite the tale.
Enjoyed watching Mr Donaldson, reminded me of my late father always, funny, joking, a good sense of humor, family and friends always enjoy moments.... Good speech All the best..... Best Royal family... From South Africa
mary is so lucky to have a beautiful father it brought tezrs to my eyes my father was a very violent man ur so lucky to have a beautiful father look after him well fathers are rare like him maria lreland
Exactly my thoughts. Thats what a great bride's fathers speech is supposed to be like: Smart and thought-provoking, warm and emotional, honest and authentic, encouraging and mixed up with some kind of self ironical, good hearted humour... And a slapstick sidekick like those glasses!! :) Thanks for uploading!

Beautiful 😍
مين لاحظ انه صوته بشبه صوت شون كونري .

A lot of class
Cried for each one...
Sissy sucker for words of truth and beauty...
🇿🇦
yeah Frederik has had multiple affairs dear
This is one lovely,caring and supportive dad!

Mr Donaldson is giving his speech. And for a Father giving his daughter to become a Queen: MARVELLOUS.

I got teary eyed. Mary is so lucky to have a loving father and a family
Oh, lovely! I think this must be my favorite royal wedding in memory: the bride and groom are straight out of a fairy tale, and this father of the bride speech was so heartfelt... Mr Donaldson must have been quite a handsome devil in his youth, too, to be so dashing in his later years
What a special Dad...family & royal couple...Such a blessing to see happy people...
I never realised how handsome Mr. Donaldson is. What a marvellous speech.
@Marigold
I heartily agree.
He can still roll his "R's" and sounds as good as he looks.
Seems to be a very nice man, to boot.
I was thinking the same thing. Mr. Donaldson is a very attractive and as well as an eloquent speaker.
Fabulous speech. Very loving words from Mary’s father.
Sonia Hamilton It is one of the best speeches I have ever heard. What an audience to have to deliver it to. Just perfect.
Mary's anxious look when his father was speaking of the "marauding vikings" is priceless
I think she feared, that he would tell Frederik, that if he mistreated her, he would chase him down and hurt him.
@@gittenielsen95 a e
She kind of laughed a little at first.
@gittenielsen95 And well he should. Is he still around?
An amazing speech . Fredrick is indeed a very fortunate man to have found her.
Ywa Frederick has had sevetal affairs.
@@gmail7866, an inappropriate comment.
This speech will be studied by many fathers-in-law to be for years to come as the ultimate model from which to proceed.
A very wonderful speech Mr Donalson . your daughter crown Mary will make a good queen of Denmark.God bless you all in good health, prosperity, & abundantly❤
What a truly lovely father.
A wonderful speech! And Mr. Donaldson is a great speaker.
well he is a professor, he is used to lecturing before a large audience!
oh yes his a remarkable speaker.
😍💝🥰🧚♀️
He’s a University maths professor and he authored a few books on mathematics
Her father is actually very handsome! He’s older (not old) but you can tell. He must have been really handsome when he was younger!
What agreat speech from father to daughter...Happy ever after Princess mary and Frederick
Wonderful speech a father could give.
This Royal family is humble.The Queen had a genuine smile.
I have listened to his marvellous speech before, but as I listen, really listen to all the messages, especially about Mary's mother missing this her wonderful day, if I was Mary I would be crying my eyes out.The message he gave to Frederik was of a wonderful supportive father-in-law.From reading about Mr Donaldson I see a very fine man with a great sense of humour.I am in Canada and he is one person I would enjoy meeting. Now almost 13 yrs later he has 4 beautiful grandchildren from this couple. Too bad they live so far apart.God bless you Mr. Donaldson. Thank you.
Yes, a professor of mathematics!
Last I heard, he is living in England with his wife, Susan. Mary’s siblings and their families are in Australia.
Mary’s father and stepmom lived in Denmark for a period of time during the early years of her marriage to Frederick. John was working as a professor at the University of Aarhus. I know this because friends of ours were living there and were in the same Danish class as Mary’s stepmom, Susan. I don’t know how long John and Susan lived there but they were definitely living in Denmark at the time of Prince Christian’s birth.
What a lovely gentleman he is, no wonder Mary turned out so well.
Beautiful speech of very proud Father 😍
His mix of the Scotts and Aussie accent's is charming.
It's like hearing Gerard Butler with a vegemite sandwich!
They both beautiful couple they love each other. Future king and queen. Long live Queen Mother Magerette
One of the most beautiful speeches !
Crown Princess Mary is my favourite Royal person. She is beautiful, natural and so gracious in all she does. She puts the British royals to shame.
She puts them all to shame. I dont think any other royal family is as loved as the Danish Royal Family.
From whence a prospective mate comes from in terms of family is very important. Mary's father shows she comes from class. The family of the mate of Prince Harry should have been a flaming red flag for him.
The Donaldson’s are such an impressive family! Mary will be the perfect Queen. So impressive.
Hello
@@princenikolaiwilliamalexan9260 Why not just hit the like button instead of pretending you’re someone you’re not?
Mary is beautiful inside and out. You can tell she gets some of her inner beauty from her Father.
His glasses kept trying to jump off of his face: wonderful! Great speech.
Danish Royals, for me , are the best !
So cute how his glasses have a mind of their own.
His confidence and poise in what would have made most shrink under the pressure of a royal state occasion, is remarkable. I wonder what his career was. Handsome man as well. Daughter is lovely.
It may not surprise you that he was a university lecturer. I am not sure what his subject was.
Maths professor
He is a professor.
He’s a University maths professor and he authored a few books on mathematics
Well spoken, eloquent speaker. Well done Mr Donaldson.
With great respect from FIJI.

The Donaldsons left Scotland, and went to the other side of the world, only for one of their daughters to end up as Queen of Denmark. That's quite the tale.
I have watched this so many times . But rewatching today made me cry
Mary does everything with grace and beauty!!!!
When you tell your young daughter that she is a princess and it turned out to be true.
Thats wonderful!!!
I can see why Mary turned out so well.
What a wonderful couple I love this royal family they respect each other ..
I'd love to have dinner with Mary's dad. I'd be forever entertained, amused with memories of his quick witted humor.
Fabulous speech
