Ok, after seeing a few more photos of the dress, I do think it is much nicer than I originally thought. I think that the pink looks lovely on her! (I originally thought the dress was white and black.) And I LOVE the photo with her holding the flowers!

»Hygge hejsa«: For første gang under det officielle besøg i Australien gik Mary på sine tårnhøje stiletter ud af programmet, og i ti minutter lod hun chauffør og hele sit følge vente for at gå rundt og hilse på de mere end 300 skolebørn, som havde stillet sig op i lange rækker for at få et glimt af prinsessen.

Mary went from the planned schedule to go around to greet the more than 300 schoolchildren, some of which had to calm themselves into long rows in order to catch a glimpse of the princess.

Happy greetings: For the first time on her official visit to Australia, Mary went out to greet the public in her "tower high" stillettos and with her chauffeur waiting for 10 minutes, she walked around to greet the schoolchildren.

Thanks Dennis for taking the time to translate these captions.

Thsnks everybody for pics,they're really great.

[Warren]

Yes, thanks to the multi-talented Dennis.

I should point out that these aren't your ordinary everyday school children.

They are from one of Sydney's elite (and very expensive) private schools.

Apparently the school staff spotted the advance party, put two and two together, and got the kids out ready to greet the Crown Princess. It was an unscheduled stop in the program (unless someone had tipped them off to give the Danish media their wished-for photo-op.)

Mary has become bold on this trip, her sense of dressing certainly reflects that. I don't like the suit she is wearing, too shiny for me. But I do like the top she is wearing underneath, very becoming. Also, love the Prada heels, actually one of my favorites.

Thanks again pdas1201. Sterling effort in the photo department yesterday!

That last photo in the above set: Mary just loves her stilettos. They look lethal.

Any chance of someone suggesting to NewsPix that they use a more subtle watermark?

You are most welcome, Warren:)

I know the watermark on the pics from Newspix, they marr the whole image. Some of them, you can't even see the facial expressions due to the wonderful watermarks. But, since they are in Australia, they get the first pics and the best.
