Thereal-life Cinderellawho left her shoe atPrince Christianof Denmark’s18th birthday bashhas been identified — and it turns out, she made the fairy tale happen.
“It was meant to be a fairytale ending à la Cinderella,” Anne-Sophie told Danish outletSe Og Hør. “I thought it was a bit funny myself, and I talked to my family and friends about it before, and they agreed that I should do it. It’s a chance you won’t get again.”
However, the plan wasn’t so easy to pull off. When she tried to discreetly drop her heel, someone rushed to return it to her.
Anne-Sophie said that although she’s single, she doesn’t think she and Prince Christian will have the same ending as Cinderella and her prince.
The pair did speak at the event, although Anne-Sophie can’t recall their exact conversation.
The Danish palace confirms that the shoe and its owner will be reunited.

“The dance floor was set in motion when Benjamin Hav & Familien gave a concert after the gala event,” courtiers captioned a clip, where Prince Christian danced and clapped beside his family next to the stage. “The concert was Her Majesty the Queen’s surprise for all the guests.”
