Danish and Australian flags for Mary.
What lovely pictures. Thanks.

Mary lights up near people and children (and dogs and horses). ?
Wherever they are, you can be sure to find Mary there.
She is really good at taking the time to greet as many people as possible. At any event. Even if the official program is delayed a bit.
Not everyone in the DRF is good to remembering that.
And that means a lot to people when you have been waiting... that the royals actually takes their time to greet.

IIRC, Mary has said something similar to: "The least we can do is to take the time to greet people who have met up. They may have waited a long time and in bad weather." Can't remember more, but something in that style.

I'm glad to see that Christian and Isabella, growing older, follow that track.
It will be exciting to follow them.

Yes. She lived in Clear Lake City, Houston from 1974 to 1975. John Donaldson was working in Houston at the time. Mary started her schooling in Texas.

Interesting - you learn something new everyday. This visit will probably a nice trip down memory lane for Mary!

How is the climate and lifestyle in Houston compared to say Sydney?

Different or pretty similar?

Some similarities. Houston resembles more Brisbane - humid and subtropical in summer and dry in the winter. Sydney definitely has tropical climate, but not like Brisbane.

always with a special touch for Australia, very nice

That is sweet. We still regard CP Mary as an Aussie, who happens to be the Danish Crown Princess and future Queen Consort ?

Those in the crowd must be Australian ex-pats living in Houston. My sister-in-law and family live in Texas too....a popular place for Aussie ex-pats!

I still love the blue Jesper Hovring gown that has been worn before. The cut-outs in the gown give it a European flavour/style.

And it was her last event during the working visit to Texas.
The visit is over and Mary probably on her way home. If she reached a flight yesterday evening, she will be back home in Denmark this afternoon.

It has been a great visit. A happy and well prepared Mary - as usual.
It has been a pleasure to see Mary representing us in Texas. She is doing a great work for Denmark.

Thanks to you members for have kept the news floating all days.

Save flight home, Mary.
