But I would say it's the future that counts not the past. As long as she and Joachim make their marriage work and as long as she fulfills her duties as a princess (which I believe she will) I don't care where or what she worked before.

Yes, they seemed to include summer jobs and internship positions probably to make it longer. It seems she mostly did assistant work in the last few years. But yes, it will be interesting to see what she does for the Danish RF but she understandably she needs to settle into married life first.

I'm sure they wanted to beef it up. Besides, I'm thrilled that the speculation (thanks media for causing controversy, selling mags, papers,etc!) has finally been put to rest.

I browsed The Danish Monarchy official website and found the following information concerning Princess Marie's degree :

' The Princess has a Bachelor of Arts from Marymount Manhattan college, New York ( 1997-1999 )

The thing that intrigues me is that --- Can one get a BA degree in two years at a college? My daughter went to Columbia University and it took her 4 years to get a BA.

As I've understood it from friends who have done it, it is possible to transfer credits from one educational institution to another. Marie had studied international business and economics at Babson College, Boston, for two years prior to the transfer to Marymount.
