Hard for a lady who has to be demure in dress to "compete" with a lot of bare flesh constantly "in front of" the home place masses.

Kronprinsesse Mary har fået sine første protektioner. Julemærkefonden, PsykiatriFonden og Landsforeningen Sind. Flere inden for sundhed og sygdom vil følge.

Julemærkefonden, PsykiatriFonden og Landsforeningen Sind er de første, der får æren af at have kronprinsesse Mary som protektor. Ifølge hoffet vil flere protektioner følge i det nye år, og da Mary er optaget af sundhed, sygdom og børns trivsel, vil en del blive inden for det område.



Siden forlovelsen mellem kronprins Frederik og Mary er kongehuset blevet bestormet med henvendelser fra foreninger og organisationer, som ønsker den nye kronprinsesse som protektor. /ritzau/

In the article above it says that Mary has chosen three organisations that will have the honour of having the crownprincess as their protektor.

The organisations are:

"Julemærkefonden" - a foundation that help children that are overweight.

"Psykiatrifonden" - a foundation which tries to spread more information and knowledge about psychiatric diseases.

"Landsforening Sind" - a foundation which works for a greater understanding and tolerance towards people with psychological problems and diseases.

thats good news to hear.

Mary til Færøerne
Kronprinsesse Mary skal for første gang se øerne i Nordatlanten

/ritzau/ - 13:13 - 29. dec. 2004 Færøerne får i sommer for første gang besøg af kronprinsesse Mary.

Færøsk tv har fra det danske kongehus fået bekræftet, at kronprinseparret sammen med dronning Margrethe og prins Henrik har planlagt at gæste øerne i Nordatlanten i dagene fra den 20. til den 23 juni.

De royale gæster skal bl.a. sejle rundt med kongeskibet og bese øerne.

Dronning Margrethe vil nævne det kommende besøg på Færøerne i sin nytårstale fredag. Dronning Margrethe har i sin regeringstid sammen med prins Henrik gæstet Færøerne cirka hvert fjerde år.

Kronprins Frederik har i alt været to gange på officielt besøg på Færøerne, og dertil har han i sin tid i militæret fløjet i bl.a. helikopter på de nordlige øer i Rigsfællesskabet.
------------------------

Ok, I would love to tranlate this, but for the moment I can't remember what "Færøerne" is called in English.

Anyway the article says that this summer, june 20. - 23. Mary will visit Færøerne along with Crownprince Frederik, Queen Margrethe and prince Henrik. They will sail on Dannebrog.

"Færøerne" = Faeroe Islands (dunno, just guessing... I know they're visiting the Faroe Islands June or July next year)....

Also check out the kongehuset website.... new engagements for the CP and CPss (including one for which Mary is patron for). The CP couple are also going to New York for about a week late January next yea to appoint HC Andersen ambassadors.

I think you have just encouraged the "Mary haters" to vote against her.

[Chatleen]

It is actually quite nice that two Danish princesses are represented in both the "attractive" and "elegant" polls. That means they have won a poll of the week and than a poll of the month. Go Mary and Alexandra :)

Hahaha! Yeah you're probably right!

But they're just voting for someone they care nothing for, just so the one they hate won't win. That's just so petty.

Anyway, it doesn't matter - just check out where Mary is at the moment. I mean, we have here someone who became a princess only 8 months ago, and she's coming SECOND and THIRD/ FOURTH! Who would have thought, aye?

Well done! (not that this is a serious poll or anything).

And to all those who are voting for Mary - please keep voting and don't give up!!!! :)

That's a great picture. Now all the portraits of the royal family look alike with formal attire and regalia.
