Crown Princess Mary as Patron of The Danish Refugee Council (DRC)

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.

Is the dress black or navy blue? I like the style, it looks good on her.

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.
