It sounds like a good idea. I will try to do the same
I dare not think about how my facial expression looked during the match

Here are more great pictures of Mary (and Spanish Felipe) from yesterday. Mary has such a stunning smile!

Exactly.

You can always tell a gentleman from a roughian pretending to be a gentleman.
The roughian's lips touch the hand of the lady, sometimes with a loud wet sound. - Which is why sensible ladies wear glowes, lest a boor should drool on their hands.

And especially because I have read on Facebook that some of the people who traveled on the same flight home as Crown Princess Mary says that there were 2 hour delay at the airport and turbulence all the way home to Denmark, phew! By the way, are there still no images from Mary's event yesterday?

Here is a picture from the DRF-website, when she attended the conference "Social Business Priorities" yesterday, January 28, 2013.

Summary of article in Biled Bladet #05, 2013.
Mary led med landsholdet - Mary suffered with the national team.
Written by Marianne Singer & Casper Nielsen.

Well, as you know Mary watched the handball match finals between Spain and Denmark and Denmark became second.

They have selected a couple of pics of Mary in the article that are probably more in line with the general mood among those Danes who watched the match...

Mary was recieved and treated with utmost curtesy by Crown Prince Felipe and sat next to him in the royal box at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona.
Mary handed out the medals to the winners and offered some comforting words. (*)
The Danish trainer, Ulrik Wilbek, who is incidentally suffering from a stomach ulcer, said afterwards: "Mary said she thought silver was great and that she well understood that it was going uphill, when we came behind three nil to that opponent. Yes, Mary was actually one of the only ones who understood anything. (**) We are always pleased with the support she and Crown Princes Frederik give us, when they are present".

(*) The article doesn't mention whether it was planned that she should hand out medals. From what I understand the whole thing seemed a bit improvised. I have been told that a gentleman and Mary couldn't quite figure out who should hand out the medals and who should hand out flowers to the players.

(**) The press and the public haven't exactly been kind to the handball team. - I'd say, there is a considerable difference in loosing with three goals behind and loosing with... quite a few goals more...

BB is up.

I think it is always unfair when the media rip into a team for not winning. Regardless of the fact that coming second means they are the second best team in the world, which is a bloody good effort. It happens a lot in my country with some of our team sports. I think the media are most unfair at times.

I agree, I've never understood how both fans and the media become so unhinged when a team loses. Even when they lose as dramatically as the Danes did. Sometimes everyone does their best and a team brings everything it's got to the table and things still fall apart.
I'm glad to hear Mary was supportive, at least!

thanks Muhler.
It seems the coach and team are pleased with the royal support from both Mary and Frederik.
and remembering the pic from the olympics, Im sure Isabella and Christian will be huge fans as well

I love Ulrik Wilbek's words about Mary! Especially the part where Ulrik says that Mary was actually one of the only ones who understood anything Sweet sweet Mary,, she seems to be a very warm and sympathetic woman. I really like her.
And the Danish press has not been very sweet to Ulrik Wilbek and hey a second place is really great too!

CP Mary is not able to hand over the EliteForsk price 2013 today, as she is sick unfortunately.

IIRC, it is first time in her 14 years as a crown princess Mary has to cancel a event. Communications chief Lene Balleby tells that Mary today feels too sick to participate and that she most likely is hit by the flu. But she don't think it will affect Mary program further.

Journalist Ulrik Uriken from Billed Bladet said that it was clear to see that Mary was suffering from colds to her event in Copenhagen three days ago http://www.billedbladet.dk/Kongelige...ive%20job.aspx

Wishing our Mary a speedy recovery

She's joining many others; after the first flu 'wave' before Christmas, we seem to be having a second wave right now.

Exactly. I was hard hit by the flu around Christmas, so I hope I release this time

14 years? 9 years in May, correct?

Yes. It'll be 13 years since they met in August :)

Yes, that was my calculation too.
With 4 young children, I'm surprised Mary isn't sick more often, they bring home viruses for which adults have no immunity

[Roskilde]

Correct. I mean, of course, 9 years as a Crown Princess. Mental arithmetic has never been my specialty

But maybe she is. But Mary seems to be a very dutiful woman and I can imagine that she only cancels if she is simply unable to get up from the bed, too hoarse to speak, etc.

I remember several articles from Billed Bladet, where the journalist has reported about a sick Mary. I remember, for example, these pictures from last year

I wish her a speedy recovery. The family are meant to go to Verbier soon and they usually give us some great photo opportunities with the children having fun in the snow. Hope HRH feels well enough by then to do that.
