Swiss miss: Princess Mary and kids hit the snow

Royal portraits can be a stuffy affair, but not when four kids, fresh snow and a sled are involved.

Crown Princess Mary and her family posed for a series of candid shots on the slopes at Swiss ski resort Verbier yesterday.

Mary – who is usually a picture of poise and elegance – let down her hair, shrieking with laughter as she zoomed down a hill on a red toboggan with youngest son Vincent.

Frederik was also up for some fun, sledding with the couple’s other children Christian, Isabella and Josephine.
