In August 2020, Princess Mary made a statement after she broke COVID protocols and shook hands with a host during an outing.
"On land, at sea and in the air — we have to get used to wearing a mask. It is important that we all follow the health authorities' recommendations together," she said on Instagram the following day," she wrote at the time.
"Yesterday I was in Grenaa for my first official visit after the summer holidays," she continued. "At sea and in the air it went fine, but on land I made a mistake and I unfortunately shook hands. It reminded me how important it is that we help each other live up to the recommendations. Stay safe and take care of each other."
Princess Mary is not the only royal that has contracted the virus — Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Albert of Monaco and more have all tested positive, too.
