Thanks, Sun Lion.
A pity.

Wearing a dress from Prada Mary showed up for the Charity Ball Friday evening in Copenhagen.
The surplus was donated to Break the Silence, which is about the taboo regarding abuse within relationships.
371 guests attended the charity ball, among the Rebecca Wedell-Wedellsborg, Jean Ahlefeldt Laurvig, Oscar and Britt Siesbye, Christian Stadil from Hummel and Countess Alexandra with an unshaven Martin by her side.
Mary wore the dress seven years ago..
The event raised 1.575.000 DKK and that must be said to be very impressive!
The money were raised by holding an auction over various items and gift certificates. Then it was party time.

As you recall Mary took her three youngest to the annual Eco Day, where the cows are let out on grass on farms all over DK.
The reason was actually the 25th anniversary of the Eco-stamp, which has been used as a sign of quality for ecological products here in DK.
Before the cows were let out the children milked a wooden cow, and the children yanked the teats eagerly and milk did come out. So they are approved milkmaids now.
Then it was time to say hello to one of the calves, named Sulla aka 02658. The calf was a bit unruly and while that didn't bother Bella and Vincer, Josephine wasn't that sure it was a great idea.
They were all shown around a bit and the children got a children's tattoo on the hand, but finally the clock said 12.00 and was Isabella who was to cut a red ribbon, so the cows could be let out. Okay, cutting ribbons ain't that easy so mor Mary had to help.
Finally, at long last, the impatient cows were released. (The old cows - who are terrible bullies BTW, when the farmer isn't around. Hidden cameras have proved that recently. -Know perfectly well that lots of humans = fresh grass and fresh air = cool!).
Standing behind a fence the cows poured out dancing and jumping, while Vincent and Josephine climbed up on the fence and yelled: "Ruuun"! In fact Vincent climbed almost on top of the fence and with several tons of cows stampeding by Mary prudently reined in her son. He climbed again later... Whatever he is, he isn't afraid of heights!
On the way back to the car a local boy in the shape of eleven year old Theis Nørgaard went up to Mary and asked for a selfie with her. "Corwn Princess Mary, may I have a selfie with you (informal you)". Mary replied: "If you are quick".
Afterwards Theis told our reporter: "It was really cool but also nerve-raking and it had to go really fast, so I just had time to take the picture and then move away again.
I will send the picture to all I know and then I will print it out and hang it on the wall at home".

On Anzac Day Mary attended a memorial at Kastellet, the military HQ of Copenhagen fortress and a place she knows well.
Here she was the guest of honor.
The ceremony started with a service at the fortress church and then she and the other guests walked to a memorial where she laid down a wreath in honor of the fallen at Gallipoli. Present were also representatives from Australia, New Zealand, Turkey and Denmark.
Quite a number of Danish-Australian families had shown up for the ceremony.
As there is no memorial for Anzac in Denmark the wreath was instead laid at the mamorial for British and Danish soldiers who had fallen during WWII. A large number of Danes joined and fought in British regiments during the war.
