As soon as Mary arrived she laid down a big bunch of French white lilies as she paused to honour those who lost their lives at a memorial in the streets of Copenhagen :heart:

Billedbladet pictures and article:
Kronprinsesse Mary lagde blomster ved den franske ambassade BILLED-BLADET
 
Summary of article in Billed Bladet #49, 2015.
Written by Marianne Singer.

As you can tell from the pictures posted above, Mary went to the French embassy, where she was received outside by the French ambassador (who has unfortunately become a familiar face here in DK over the past year) Francois Zimeray.
Here she added a bouquet of white lilies to the sea of flowers outside the embassy. Placed her hand across her heart (*) and exchanged a few words with the ambassador before going inside.

Here she was met by a four year old flowerboy named Victor, whom Mary had a short chat with.
The purpose for going to the embassy was the annual presenting of the Human Rights Prize (**) started by the French ambassador.
And as patron of the Maternity Foundation Mary received the prize. The organizations use of innovative mobile technology for training people to help with giving births. (Especially in Africa south of Sahara)
But it was the manager of the Maternity Foundation who gave the return speech and she said: "On behalf of Maternity Foundation I'd like to express our sadness over the terror attack in Paris and we would like to express our deepest sympathy to all who are afflicted by the tragic events".

After having received Mary met ambassadors from former French colonies in Africa. - Again from south of Sahara. These country very much use their French connections as a way to establish contacts here in DK and elsewhere.

Mary was by no means among strangers. Also there were Birgitte Handwerk and Julie Mølsgaard. Not to mention the doctor who was responsible when she gave birth to her children at Rigshospitalet, Morten Hedegaard. - He has recently been to Ethiopia to help birth clinics.

(*) This way of showing respect, while common in USA in particular is (still) pretty uncommon here in at least continental Europe.

(**) The French ambassador has introduced prizes, literature and human rights. That gets a good deal of coverage here in DK and in that way he profiles France.

BB writes today that the Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik foundation has donated 75.000 DKK to the Maternity Foundation for which Mary is patron.
Dronning Margrethes julegave til kronprinsesse Mary | BILLED-BLADET
The money will go to training in acute deliveries in Ethiopia. Volunteers are trained in being rudimentary midwives, because so many either cannot afford to go to hospital, live in too isolated areas or rely too much on erroneous traditional methods.
 
:previous:Important work being done by the foundation. Its great that they get more support :flowers:
 
:previous:
Tonight, DR sent their annual broadcast "The year in 2015 in the Danish Royal Family."
I'm posting it here as the broadcast had a good, strong and informative focus on Mary's large work.

The broadcast started with that it's not without a reason that Mary in the Gallup surveys is the DRF's most popular member, and that member in the DRF the Danes think is doing the best work. She's doing a huge and comitted work the year round.

A reporter, often going with her on work and working travels, told about an episode. Mary had been on a five-day official visit with the Mary Foundation - during a stopover on the way home in Geneva - she took the advantage of the waiting time to make a keynote speech to a UN meeting. On the plane the rest of the way to home to Denmark she got up from her seat, walked down to the experts in the middle on the plane, squatted down in the gangway for an hour while talking with the experts - because she couldn't resist to hear more and just would like to have the last details with her. That's genuine commitment. The program praised her for talking loud about difficult topics which royals usually do not talk about. Sex, contraceptives and loneliness etc. She's brave in her speeches and interviews. Crown Princess Mary is a rolemodel of how a royal can be a useful hardworking royal. and she will and does make a difference.

Crown Prince Frederik was described like this as well. Our PM Lars Løkke end former PM Helle Thorning both explained how it is to work closely with Queen Margrethe and Crown Prince Frederik. Both explained that it was all a bit more down-to-earth when Crown Prince Frederik was present. He's very easy to talk with and makes people feel welcome and comfortable.

So began the program to change... It began to talk about dresses and so on... and I saw the rest of the program with half an eye. I observed the programme focused on the "Prince Henrik scandal" at Queen Margrethe's 75 years birthday, the bridgegate, Princess Marie's breast enlargement operation and the DRF's handling of this.

And there was also a good coverage of the Regent Couple's trip to Greenland.

:previous: thank you Roskilde as always for the summaries of what was said.

Its great to hear about Mary's commitment to her work, and Frederik's too :flowers:
 
You are welcome :flowers:
Can you watch the program outside of Denmark? If, I have heard that DR has got a new feature so you can put subtitles on. If I remenber correct.

Yes. your second link worked.
It gives subtitles but in Danish.

thanks again.
Interesting that they had the previous and current PM.
 
Would be a dream to get those two royal ladies together again.
 
:previous: Haven't they got something in common? Work-wise I mean.

But Daily Mail would have a field day! :D I cannot even imagine the headlines they would come up with.
 
Mary is a patron for an international mental health organization which seems to be a focus of Kate.

Most royal ladies you could find patronages in common,there are pretty common themes among them. The BRF though very rarely interacts with other royal houses so I am not holding my breath waiting to see them together again.

Thanks Dazzling :flowers:

With becoming patron of EMS2016 Crown Princess Mary wishes to create focus on improving the care for patients in Danish hospitals.

That makes me happy.
As a nurse, I know how much the Danish hospitals need improvement. It is perhaps one of the places where Denmark is lagging most. That is really needed.

From the press release:
The Crown Princess has agreed to become patron of the Congress EMS2016, which aims to improve the care for patients in Danish hospitals. The Congress brings together researchers, healthcare professionals and administrative people and will form the basis for the exchange of experiences that could ultimately change working practices in health care.
EMS2016 will be held at the Tivoli Hotel and Congress Center in Copenhagen from 30th May to 1st June 2016, where Crown Princess Mary participant.

Thanks Iceflower,

Delightful pictures of Mary and the little flower girl. They can only bring a smile on ones lips, can't they? :)

Today has been a brilliant summer day in Copenhagen. 25 degrees and full sun - I hope Mary reached home and enjoyed the weather. I can see in the other thread that Mary, Frederik and all four children (and Ziggy) have had a lovely weekend in the woods with grandmother Margrethe and grandfather Henrik. Yesterday was also a splendid warm summer here in Copenhagen.

More pictures of Mary at today's event:

Lots of lovely pictures from today:

There's just chemistry between Mary and flower girl, eh? What empathy and heart warmth CP Mary radiates at all her events. I have not seen anyone who squatting so natural to be in the children's level :wub:

The 4-year old flower girl survived a sudden cardiac arrest back in 2012.

Crown Princess Mary is the patron of the Congress EMS2016 which aims to improve care for acute patients.

Those are such heartwarming photos! Mary seems to be rather natural around children, and little Elvira seemed particularly pleased to meet her. :)
 
Mary at an event today, from Daily Mail: Princess Mary of Denmark opens Mothers Help's House in Copenhagen | Daily Mail Online

I can't help smiling reading the article. :lol:
7 degree chill?!?

On a rainy mid-November day in DK? - That's a mild day.
All days in the winter season where you don't have to wear gloves and scarves, let alone something on your head, is mild weather.

And from BB: http://www.billedbladet.dk/kongelige/danmark/kronprinsesse-mary-til-kaempe-fest-paa-vesterbro
They don't mention the cold, oddly enough...

:lol: You come here in early December, then you'll discover what "wet cold" is! That's when it goes through your bones. Similar to, but certainly not the same as days with "freezing gales".
While days with "clear frost" are balmy, - even if you (as a man) can feel your beard freeze.
I fear our DM reporter would die instantly from shock. :eek:

Anyway, a very sweet video of the flowergirl presenting the heart to Mary.
