Crown Princess Mary and her family look set to celebrate a Christmas to remember as the family were spotted en route to Tasmania on Thursday.

Joining the Royal is her best friend and the bridesmaid at her wedding, Amber Petty.

The pair - who have a long-standing friendship spanning 20 years - have already spent much of the Danish Princess's Australian holiday together.

This would seem to quash previous reports by Woman's Day Australia, which claim the Danish palace recently forced Princess Mary to end her friendship with Ms Petty.

The publication reported that a Royal source of Queen Margrethe, the ruling head of the Danish Royal family, urged Princess Mary to cut ties with Ms Petty over various 'embarrassing revelations'.

The most recent of these is understood to be Ms Petty's attendance at the Australian Adult Industry awards.

Ms Petty was not only Princess Mary's bridesmaid at her 2004 wedding to Prince Frederik, but has often been photographed with the Princess on her visits home to Australia.
