TRH Prince Joachim and Princess Marie: Current Events Part 7

[marmi]

she also spoke about her role as a princess and said she is in the process of making a decision on her foundations or areas of interest.

Well thats progress! Maybe we'll hear more about that once she has made or choices.

Thanks for the article Carlota! I am interested to hear about her decision.

She's laughing really hard in this photo. Was this presentation in French or English? I didn't think that her Danish was that strong.

Nice to see her out and about and enjoying herself. The dress defies any comment!

It seems Marie's visit to Morocco is cancelled for 28 October because no member of the Moroccan royal house has time to attend - and according to BB they would like to attend. Perhaps the presentation of the gift will happen at a later time.

Strange, very strange IMO. It's not the first time an event for Marie was announced and then cancelled.
Either the court doesn't plan well or Danish media announces too soon (which means the court doesn't work too well, of course).

cancelled very strange.
there is any official announcement about this from Danish Palace??

[biboquinhas]

Maybe they read what has been said about this visit...Delivering Legos doesn't fix or solve anything, but it does bring some joy for those children and isn't that important too? Just think about, for example, our children playing with their new toys. Can you see their happy faces?? Bringing joy and enchantement to these children lifes should be something that Denmark and Marie should be proud of. However I found it very strange that they cancelled and didn't announce a new date

Was the visit originally announced by the Court or the press?
It is possible that the original visit was planned as a private visit by Marie, then the Moroccan court wanted to have members of the family attend and since they were busy on the 28th they are trying to reschedule.
I am very disappointed Marie will not get the chance to make this trip.
Hopefully they will reschedule soon and hopefully all the princesses are really busy on the 28th in Morocco.
In all this whoever did not co ordinate Marie's agenda with the Moroccan one needs to apologize. It makes Marie look bad.

She will get the chance to make the trip. According to Billedbladet the visit is only postponed for some weeks .

[Paty]

I thought that this trips/visits were co-ordinated between each country and foreign ministry. Why the Danish Royal court announced the visit if they dont know if some member of the Marrocan Royal Family is able to attend. This is a joke!

[Duke of Marmalade]

How amateurish can it get. Don't they check with the morrocan court beforehand? Even if the member of the MRF foreseen to attend cannot make it, another one can step in. Marie is not high profile after all, the level of the King wouldn't have been involved anyway.

This whole story is not about the professional handling of events one would expect from a Royal House, thinking everything through BEFORE going public, it's more like April Fool! or The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
