Lovely outfit for the Crown Princess. It seems they are lucky with the weather.

They both look great! Here's another link to an article about the visit:

They visited a kindergarten today, and the children were delighted to see and talk to them.

This couple does seem to enjoy being together on duty dont they. They really seem to like this kind of thing and so often you see them exchanging words/smiles and just enjoying themselves. It must make it so much more special for the crowd present.

Great videos Mitchell - thank you

When I see Mary live interacting with people, I'm always amazed at how seemingly effortless she has taken to royal life and to the role she has to play. I think it's great to have a crown princess who seems as if she enjoys whatever she is doing when she is carrying out her role. This is what she will spend her life doing - great that she comes across professionally and seems to enjoy it.

Thanks for all photos and videos

I love how natural Mary and Frederik are with each other and with the people they meet. They throughly enjoy meeting the children as seen in the many photos.

Does anyone know if this is an annual event? I recall them visiting this area last year, but can't remember if they have always done this. Does anyone know if this is now a permanent part of their calendar?

I love the way M&F interact with children.

I really do hope it becomes a yearly event, if isn't already. It would be wonderful to see them back there again.

Yeah, it would be very good & nice if this trip will become their traditional trip in the future. I think that it's important that CP couple will visit these kind of areas and if they'll visit one place more than once. But I think we must just wait and see. Talking about Mary's look.... well, you people have told evertyhing nice and beautiful already and I just can add that she's just perfect!

Last year the CP Couple visited the German Minority in Denmark, they were in Aabenraa/Apenrade. This year they visited the Danish Minority in Germany, they were in Flensburg/Flensborg. Both visits were made on the invitation of the minorities. So, unless they are invited every year this is not going to be an annual event.

Thank you, Ricarda. I got confused, and thought that it was the Danish Minority last year. I wonder if they will continue to do this visit, by alternating the groups each year.
