It wasn't a Crown Prince Frederik whom a smiling Crown Princess Mary had a hold of, when she arrived at the international film festival for children, "Buster 2008" at the Palace Cinema in Copenhagen - no, it was [Bruno] the Bear. Today Crown Princess Mary opened the festival where she also managed to see X-Factor winner Martin, who also got the opportunity to greet the Crown Princess. The film festival will end on September 26th.
