While waiting for something to happen at Gråsten BT has a very positive article about our Marie. In particular her work for her protections: Ud af Marys skygge: Prinsesse Marie haler ind på Kronprinsessen - Nyheder | www.bt.dk

In this excerpt of the paper article three protections speak up about Marie.

DanChurchAid on her recent visit to the Roskilde Festival where volunteers collected items for recycling.
The general secretary Birthe Quist Sørensen says: "There was a racket while we were there. But she reamined standing there and talkied with our volunteers, because she thought it was so widly fantastic that young people would work hard from dawn to dusk in order to raise money for the poor in this world".

The Autism Associalion. Chairman Heidi Thamestrup says about a visit in 2012: "The girls who were there still talk about the visit. Even though they were big girls back then and they are young women today, they still remember the attention she gave them. That they will talk about for the rest of their lives, I think".

The Danish Epilepsy Association. Chairman Lone Nørager Christensen: "She didn't just come and spread some princess-dust over an event, but (she) took her time to for example sit down and draw with the chidlren, when she visited the Epilepsy Hospitale together with us".

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #40, 2015.
Written by Dorte Quist.

Recently Marie went to the epilepsy hospital, Filadelfia in the town of Dianalund, because the hospitals children's ward turned 30.
Upon arriving some 100 children, from the ward and from a kindergarten next door was lined up and here our Marie dispensed with formalities and walked away from the adults waiting to greet her and instead went over to meet and chat with the children, before returning to the adults.

Well inside she was shown around and highlight was an exhibition of paintings made by the children on the ward. Each child who had contributed with a piece of art was presented with a diploma by Marie.
And since the ward celebrated it's birthday, Marie sang the birthday song with the children.
Afterwards Marie said: "You have to keep in mind that these are ordinary children who have an illness that is troublesome. But they are very sweet and it's really a pleasure to be with them today".

Marie took over this protection from her father-in-law earlier this year.

Our Marie has today started in a new job at the Civil Defense: H. K. H. Prinsesse Marie særlig projektmedarbejder

She will be working on project aiming at preventing accidents.
Today she has started a course preparing for her work.

- Marie has previously campaigned among the elderly for installing smoke-alarms. I assume it's along these line. I.e. prevention of fire and accidents in private homes. So presumably she will also at some point campaign for this as well.

Marie's work is however voluntarily, so she won't get a salary.

(*) Actually Beredeskabsstyrelsen, under which the Civil Defense is the uniformed branch. Beredskabsstyrelsen is a part of the Total Defense, but takes care of shall we say "minor disasters", like flooding, storms, chemical accidents and so on that doesn't require the armed forces.
But a part of their work is also to prevent such things from even occurring and this is where Marie comes in.
 
How long is her job for and how will this work with her royal duties?
 
:previous: She will still represent the DRF and her protections.

I don't think it will be that demanding. A few hours at the office a week, I imagine.
The odd conference and a day here and there to go look at projects and initiatives.

Still, it's good she's involved in something important.
 
It's a great involvement. Her calendar has been somewhat light so it's great that she is involved in this and helps bring more attention.
 
And a BB video of our Marie, where she first talks about how the young designers have impressed her, and in the last third, she talks about her daughter, who is not particularly interested in jewellery. In fact she's a bit of a tom-boy (I believe that's the expression). - But she'll get there eventually, Marie believes.

Thanks Iceflower & Polyesco. :flowers:

The Wadden Sea is a protected area, very rich in birdlife and for being the home of many mollusks, oysters and what not. It stretches from Southern Jutland, down along the German coast and across the Netherlands.
It's also a favorite tourists attraction - but the tide claim some every year! People think the sea is far away, but all of a sudden the water has caught up with you - and it's still a long way to dry ground...

The elderly gentleman seen close to our Marie is the Minister for Culture, Bertel Haarder, also less reverently known as Bertel Bims = Bertel Nutter.
 
Thank you, Iceflower. :flowers:

The justifications for having such drills seems to have been confirmed today in Britan.

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #15, 2017.
Written by Marianne Singer.

Marie is a frequent visitor to Odense University Hospital and on this day she inaugurated the surgical ward for children.
Here she was met by a shy flowergirl in the shape of 7 year old Melina, who is a very frequent patient at the hospital. Melina is a short-intestine-child, and since her birth she has been through six surgeries in order to make the intestines work. On top of that she has diabetes 1, and Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. - No wonder she has so serious and old eyes...
Her mother said: "It's been hard. The one who has coped best is probably Melina. She's tough. We'll make it and we do that by being good at talking to each other. And then we have a fantastic family".

Marie took Melina's hand and somewhat unexpectedly took the girl with during the visit. Melina soon relaxed and felt comfortable sitting on Marie's lap. Or helping our Marie loosening the ribbon at the inauguration.

The hospital is named after H C Andersen (It's basically only outside DK he's known as Hans Christian Andersen) and well inside, Marie, Melina and other patients saw a show consisting of figures from H C Andersen's fairy tales.
After the merriment was over, Marie was shown around at the ward and informed of what they can do.
Marie said afterwards: "It's a festive day with serious subjects. It's of course very important for the children, because nursing and care are a big part of their treatment".
