Marie always looks cute and today was no exception.
Billed Bladet says that Marie is still studying Danish, and that she didn't hesitate at all to write a greeting in Danish in the official visitor's book at the Tonder Festival:
Billed-Bladet - Se Maries søde hilsen til Tønderfestivalen
The article says that she caught herself making a mistake by forgetting the word "er" which translates to "is" in English, and wrote the word above the line where it belonged. The author says that Marie told the festival organizers to greet her only in Danish; it wasn't necessary to greet her in English.
I really am very disappointed in Marie. Seems she could have spent some time to study how to sign the book properly. I just do not think she understands her position in the DRF. She understands the perks perfectly, but the working part of it seems to be ignored.
H.K.H. Prinsesse Marie åbner som protektor Tønder Festival, Tønder Torv, kl. 16.00

On Friday 27, Princess Marie will open the anual Tonder Festival.
Thank yoy, Paty
The Tønder Festival is a folk music festival and it has been around for many years.
It's not bad, I've been there a couple of times, mainly to listen to the Irish bands.
i disagree completely. marie has shown in such little time her progress in danish (which according to what her sister in law said it's a hard language to learn), and now you are nailing her to the wall for forgetting to write "is" in the book? i think you can hardly say she knows the perks very well: i don't think we have seen marie out on holidays or profitting for her new status that much for you to say that.
Here are some articles with more pics from today:

** sn.dk: Prinsesse Marie på Tønder Festival **
** jv.dk: Tønder Festival er i gang: Se hvad prinsessen sagde **
I think Marie is fabulous, but I don't think this outfit is very festive! It's indistinguishable from office gear... come to think of it, royals tend not to wear black to events, or such dark colours as to photograph black. Is that right? Might be a "rookie error" ...
Iceflower never gets up later than 6:30 am, earlier if needed, but never later
What a pity that video isn't available in Germany, would have loved to hear what you've chosen..
Here are some additions:
** danapress/belga gallery **
** bt.dk: Prinsessen fik grineflip på festival ** translation **
** BB: Fin og rund - Her er prinsesse Maries gravide mave **
It's strange. For whatever reason Google translate flatly refuse to translate the BT article into English for me. It' insists on switching back to the original article, even though I've checked the settings. Weird!
I sometimes check the google translations to see if there are nuances or details that are missed. I can't in this case...![]()
