First gentleman it is. Quite good-looking too. ; )

Wouldn't it be the Second Gentleman? The First Gentleman in the country is the King.

Wouldn't it be the Second Gentleman? The First Gentleman in the country is the King.

If the wife of the male prime minister is called the First Lady, the husband of the female prime minister would be the First Gentleman. Just like here in the United States, the VP's husband is the Second Gentleman. Because when the VP is male, his wife is the Second Lady.

But the wife of a prime minister isn't referred to as a First Lady. Because in either a presidential or monarchical system, the PM is the second person in the country, after the President or monarch. So the PM's wife would be the Second Lady, because the PM ranks second in terms of precedence.

Let us please move on and concentrate on Queen Mary's current events again. Thank you!

Kort før besøg i Jylland: Dronning Mary takker spontant ja til at opfylde stor drøm

Dronning Mary har indlagt et ekstra besøg i sin kalender fredag.

www.billedbladet.dk

From the article above:
Queen Mary was only supposed to have participated in Aalborg University's big 50th anniversary celebration on Friday. But not long before the visit, the queen suddenly received an unexpected invitation to also visit the residents at Bostedet Aars, approximately 40 minutes' drive from Aalborg.

They have had a big dream of inviting Denmark's new queen to visit and show off the institution and their home. The visit came about because the Citizens' Council at Bostedet Aars had written to the royal court.

The residence has 41 places and is directed at adults aged 18-85 with severe mental disorders and possibly other social challenges such as anxiety, depression, altered perception of reality, dementia, stress or other psychological difficulties.

So wonderful that Queen Mary paid the center a visit!

As you can tell from Queen Mary's posture as she exited the car, the wind bites today. We are still close to freezing most mornings. And in that part of DK that she visited, it's always windy.

Thanks @Izzie , I noticed that the visit to the the psychiatric center was added after the University celebration. great that should could visit. She received lots of warm hugs!

1. I love her "F" necklace. It's so sweet. I wonder if Frederik wears something with an "M" engraved on it.

2. I think it's wonderful she made a bonus appearance at the psychiatric center. Mental health is something that she's made a focus of her work, not to mention her foundation's work, and I'm sure the people there thought it was beyond amazing that she'd visit. What a memory for those people!

It's bitingly cold today.
With the windchill factor the temperature all day was around freezing, even in direct sunlight.

I'm pretty sure that's a Big Hornowl - as we call them in DK. And only a chick, because the adults are pretty big!
We have some in this part of the country and sometimes you hear about people in a suburb being in uproar because some nasty person is taking the local cats.
No, it's the Big Hornowl. A domestic cat is just the right size for such an owl. And as people often let their cats wander freely...
A couple of Big Hornowls can decimate the population of cats in a neighborhood very efficiently. Mis (the equivalent to pussy, yes, also in the other context...) in Danish sneaks around at night, thinking she's a great hunter and never notice the silent shadow coming swooping in.
The Big Hornowl is big!

And the adults are very well camouflaged!

I have actually never seen a Big Hornowl in the wild. I've sometimes heard it but never caught a glimpse of it.

Det var bidende koldt, da dronning Mary var en tur i skoven i dag. Men heldigvis havde Mary fået en ekstra jakke med.
