Thanks for the photos.
I like that Mary brings awareness and is involved wth such social issues as this
 
Billed Bladet #41 is out and we have a broad variety of treats this week.

Frederik has challenged Joachim to a race in go-carts, which is going to be aired Saturday on TV3 (a commercial channel).

Our Marie her mother, Joachim, bette Henrik and a white furry novelty met up with Billed Bladet while going a walk around Amalienborg. (They usually do that when nothing else is going on, so I'm a little pussled why they do it now).

We have a note about Prince Henrik tasting wine.

A note about QMII attending the year-party at Sydansk Universitet in Odense.

We are informed at length that Madeliene has now finally accepted Sofia...., sorry, got carried away. :p

We have a portrait of Christian who is about to turn six.

The Q&A this week are interesting. I like that Jon Bloch Skipper isn't afraid to deal with controversial issues regarding the DRF - before he usually dismiss them.
Is Prince Henrik going hunting this year, wacking animals for pleasure?

The Stylefinder deals with a poncho worn by Mary at the Hubertus Hunt.
As I don't know where to put this I'll write about it here and you can just pass that on in the appropriate thread.
The poncho is made of wool and mohair, from Missoni. From their Fall/2010 collection. - It is no longer for sale.

We have an article comparing bellies. La belle Marie and Victoria's bellies to be exact.

And this:

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #41, 2011.
Mary vild med Seebach - Mary crazy about Seebach.
Written by Ulrik Ulriksen.

Mary attended the gala evening of the Psyciatry Foundation, which took place in the opera.
Here Mary, sitting in the VIP lounce, enjoyed various forms of entertainment. Among them the popsinger, Rasmus Seebach, who appeared to delight both Mary and the audience. Alas, Im half fossilised, so I don't know his songs. Mary later met the singer during the intermission.
Anyway, our reporter caught up with Rasmus Seebach after the show (I guess he missed Mary) and the singer told about his meeting with Mary. Actually he mostly talked himself and about how humble and honored he felt, that Mary chatted with modest little he.
About Mary he said: "First and foremost.... No I'll translate all he said, and for whatever reason I think of ham right now.

"First and foremost the Crown Princess and I talked about it being in the service of a good cause, that we are here in the Opera tonight. It's a very important cause. And an important subject to put focus on. Unfortunately I didn't spend so much time with the Crown Princess, so the event itself was the most important thing to talk about. (*) I also told Mary that I was very honored that I had been asked whether I would be a part of the show. I also talked with her about the surroundings here in the Opera. Why, it's utterly fantastic to be allowed to perform here. (**) She also thought it's utterly fantastic here. (***) I'm really proud to be allowed to sing in this beautiful, beautiful hall. And then she told me that I surely was used to performing in a big place like this. She knew that I've performed on many big stages in the last year or so. (****) I thought it was cool that she apparantly keeps full track on what I'm doing. (*****)
As I said, it seemed like she knew me and my music. That's pretty amusing. She's sweet and then she's a person like the rest of us, and she likes good music. I'm of course honored that she thinks that my music is good".
Rasmus Seebach was also delighted to learn that Christian and Isaballa listens to his music.

Mary also managed to meet other artists, among them Laura Kvists Poulsen and Brian Lykke from a satirical show on DR1, called Krysters Kartel. They made Mary laugh. (******)

ADDED: BB informs us that Mary wore Pradas.

(*) Perhaps she rushed away in order to blow in the big tuba in the bathroom?

(**) What modesty, what incomparable self-effacing bahavior. Watch and learn, such humbleness is an art.

(***) So she did get a word in?

(****) Like Randers Football Arena and Nørre Bøvelse potato field?

(*****) Added with a modest little cough.

(******) She probably needed a good laugh....

Some busy days for Mary...

This morning, Mary attended as a patron the opening of the Mental Health Foundation Conference on inclusion of mentally vulnerable young people at Hotel Crowne Plaza, Copenhagen:

Video from BB.

New dress for Mary? :)

Poul Nyrup Rasmussen (Denmark's former prime minister) says about Mary's work:

"I thanked Mary in my speech today because she dare interfere and set an agenda. The young people have her as role model and we respect Mary very much for her work and especially the fact that she spends much time, her prestige and her insight - it's a wise Crown Princess we have. And her work behind the scenes is very commendable."

:previous: Yes she participated today in an private meeting with the Mental Health Fund:

From the Mental Health Fund's Facebook page:
"Our patron - Crown Princess Mary - has today visited us at Nørrebro. The Crown Princess has among others things met the talented volunteer counselors in our phone call center and talked with children and young people, parents and staff in our conversation groups for children of parents with mental illness. We are so very pleased with the Crown Princess commitment to our children and youth and look forward to continued cooperation on this important issue for Mental Health Fund :)"

There was no press access. I am surprised that there was no pictures taken of her arrival though.
 
Kronprinsesse Mary gav highfive til hele byen | Billed Bladet

Today, Mary visited Ruds Vedby School in, you guessed it the town of Rud Vedby.
All sails seems to have been set, the local town music guard turned out to receive Mary, and no doubt pensioners and kindergartens as well.
But the occasion was serious enough, The Tryg Foundation and the Psychiatry Foundation is launching a project called Reach Out.

It is estimated that one in five of the children between the age eleven and fifteen psychologically speaking is feeling bad. So the project will visit the schools in the region Rud Vedby belongs to to inform the school children about feeling bad, tell them they are not alone and inform them of how and where to seek help.
The project will first and foremost concentrate on areas in the region where there are higher numbers of parents with social issues, because problems at home unsurprisingly very often leads to psychologial and emotional problems in the children.
 
Thanks Muhler,

And we already have the first pictures and galleries:

Some lovely pictures of the people welcoming her.
Mary's warmth and joy over meeting the people is obvious :)

But yes the visit has a serious purpose. As patron for the Danish Mental Health Foundation Mary will visit the Mental Health Foundation's 'Reach Out' bus at Ruds Vedby School and attend training for a 6th class about mental health and well-being.

You can read the Royal Court's information about today's visit here:

Here two videos from today's visit - our Crown Princess is popular so you may feel the urge to turn down the volume a little on your computer when the people cheers and whistles when they see her ;-)

A thing worth noting is how CP Mary greets and high five with almost every one. She's always good at that and it means a lot to people having waited.

BB video tells the teaching lesson Mary attended took place inside the bus and lasted one and half an hour. The Psychiatry Foundation's bus is described as 'a rolling classroom' and they will in the coming months visits the region's schools. The project focuses on the schools in the region where there is less education among parents which can be an indicator of social problems.

Mary said to the media about the new psychiatric hospital:
- It has been a very positive experience. Everything is so new and innovative. The hospital is future proof because everything is so well thought out. Congratulations to Region Zealand.

Mary was shown not just the psychiatry hospital, but its training kitchen, common areas, gymnastic hall, swimming pool and bed sections as well. Thereafter she participated in a reception at the event.

Fit as a fiddle this one. Fred has a lot to smile about. Plus its a great cause.
 
From Jyllands Posten: Nyt sygehus: Patienter er omgivet af helende arkitektur - Kultur

I've glanced several articles about the architecture. To put is briefly: The architecture and the interior design, decoration and lighting has been specifically aimed at having as soothing, calming and psychologically healing effect on the patients as possible.
In other words: It doesn't look like a mental hospital, but more like a conference hotel, with rooms, offices, therapy room and recreation rooms can be tailored to the mental needs and afflictions of the individual patients. Even down to the acoustic.
 
Is that Mary's new lady in waiting? I thought she started end of the year.
 
:previous: Yes, she's been on the job for a number of occasions now.
