The Crown Princess will visit Greenland in the period 19 - 22 June with the Mary Foundation and for the marking of Greenland's introduction of self government.

But it should have been a visit with the crown prince and the royal couple, no???

[marmi]

Thats what it was listed as initially, but I guess this doesn't exclude the royal couple & Frederik, as Paty's translantion says "and" implying 2 reasons for going; I'd just assume that she'll attend Mary Foundation events as well as the ones the other 3 attend.

[Paty]

Acording to the Royal Calendar, Only the Crown Princess will attend.

Greenland seems to be be a very popular place to visit for the royals this year
Let's hope for good photo coverage of this trip

Yes, June 19-21 thread

I wonder if Mary will go with the rest of the family and then attened the events for the foundation. Wouldnt make sense for one family to go on two different planes when heading to the same place.
Interesting visit this would be.

Frederik and the Regent Couple will join Mary in Greenland in connection with Greenland's introduction of self government.

Shame about the weather.
Nice practical outfit for Mary. Shame the family couldn't arrive together. Would have made for some nice pictures.

[Lilla]

I think it is nice that Mary was the first one to arrive and that she was alone. After all, she is the Crown Princess of Greenland not only of Denmark.

[sgl]

It looks very cold and rainy. Does anyone know where they stay when they visit Greenland? Do they have a residence there, or do they stay with government officials, or in a hotel?

They are all clambering to shake Mary's hand. She is such a well loved princess. Makes me jealous, she didn't marry eitherof our princes :)
