Thank you for the pictures. There is also a video in that article from dazzling which is in danish but you do hear Mary speaking. I love that jacket she wearing and yes it is recycled.

Tons of pictures here and even more here. Mary looked lovely, loved the outfit. Second link of pictures, the young covered girl with Mary is such a lovely picture.

I do love that white coat, very elegant! She is really a celebrity by now! Look at all the people around her outside!

See more info from:
Danish Royal Watchers: Mary presents Integration Prize 2008

This integration prize is newly created, three people received it and they combined together to re-present 'The Golden Frog' back to Mary in honour of her own efforts for integration. Apparently she was very touched.

I think this event doesn't belong into this thread, it has to do with immigrants and integration, not with refugees (though some of the immigrants are refugees).

Thank you for the pictures! I love this black dress on Mary. It's the same one she wore in New York for the press conference at Tavern on the Green. I believe its from Hugo Boss.

Oh my goodness, Mary recycled! Now people will complain about that instead of complaining about her being a "clothes horse"! I have been doing a lot of reading about Mary and I feel that she is really doing a lot for her new country. She works hard at it and does it with class and style. I give her a lot of credit.

I also agree that The Royal Family is given a "salary" the same as I was while working for the USA government. How they spend it is their business the same as how I spent my money -- Mary feels that looking well while doing a wonderful job is important to her -- I agree. A persons appearance is 50% of their "selling power". Mary neat apparence will always help her as a patron to her interests.

I think that it is great that Mary is working to promote integration. This is a very important cause, and I admire Mary for becoming involved in it.

According to the official website of crown princess Mary, she will go and visit Uganda from 28 september to 4 october.
She will visit this country as the patron of the Danish Refugee council.

Hope we'll have soon all the details about this trip!!

[dazzling]

I hope this trip will get some press coverage than the visit to Bulgaria. Good to see her work going abroad in such events. Looking forward to it.

Does Denmark have a large population of refugees from Uganda, or is she on a good-will visit?

According to their website the Danish Refugee Council's work is not just within Denmark. They work with refugees in many of the world's trouble spots in relief work, reconstruction and resettling displaced persons. At the moment they are active in about 20 countries. They also send professional relief workers to work with United Nations in identified focus areas.

This is great, I dont think she has done anything quite like this before, has she?

A thread for the visit has been started. It is currently closed.

I can't belive she is visiting Uganda, it will an unique visit! I'am sure this visit will have a lot of press coverage of course, this is a unique visit, different from all other visits and from all other Patronages she has, I'am sure the press will be in every step she makes!I also hope that Mary chose mucht more "modest" clothes than she uses to dress.....
