Thanks, Jess Rulz! The photo wasn't appearing earlier. Lalla Miriam and Marie both look lovely. It is kind of funny that they are both wearing the same color.

Thanks to both Mademoiselle Lilo and JessRulz.
And yes it is quit funny they are wearing the same colours.
I do sort of admire Marie for making her first solo official event on a semi-official visit to a foreign country.......
She has got guts!

Its great to see Marie doing a duty overseas. I had to go back and read what time she was due to arrive, as it is summer here and for it to be that dark it would have to be late at night... LOL
Princess Marie looks great (I'm not talking about her clothes here, but her), hope its a good omen for the next day (& the rest of the pregnancy of course)
The DRF seem to announce the pregnancies before significant events - remember Mary's was announced before a gala dinner once?

yes, wasn't the first pregnancy announced before their trip to greenland? i think the second one was before a regular official event though.
i'm glad to see marie. she looks perfect, i hope we get more pictures soon. lalla meryem looks quite tired/sad though.

I am sure that Lalla Meryem will do everything she can to make Marie feel welcome and relaxed. It also helps that the two princesses will be able to speak French with each other. I am very happy for Denmark and Morocco. This is a great opportunity for these countries to strengthen their friendship.

Marie looks fantastic! She has grown into the princess role. Lalla Meryam is so elegant and beautiful. This photo is my favorite:
Billed-Bladet - Gravide prinsesse Marie ankommet til Marokko
Would one of our Danish-speaking members be willing to tell us what the article said?

sgl, the Billed-Bladet article mentions everything we know already: Marie arrived in Rabat and was greeted by Lalla Meriam, who congratulated her on her pregnancy. Marie is the person who will be most-talked about today (or yesterday..) because of the pregnancy news. And then in the last paragraph it just says what the Princess will be doing tomorrow - visit to Andalusian Garden, and then handing out the Lego packs.

Mary's second pregnancy was announced the day after a government or diplomatic white tie banquet held at Christiansborg Palace...

This is actually not correct. I think announcing the pregnancy on the same day as Marie's first solo engagement and visit abroad is a clever PR move (and no coincidence) but the DRF does not usually announce pregnancies before significant events.
Mary's first pregnancy was announced on 25th April 2005 (the same day as Mette-Marits), shortly after F&M's visit to Thailand and Japan (their visit to Greenland was in 2004, shortly after the wedding) and 1 and half a week before their next engagement in Denmark.
The second pregnancy was announced on 26th October 2006. Mary opened a conference that day, the day before there was a gala dinner for members of parliament and the day after a concert to celebrate DRC's 50th anniversary - all actually quite the regular royal engagements and not particularly significant.(all infos taken from the couple's website )
I liked Marie's outfit at arrival, except for the bag and shoes, they didn't seem to fit with the rest.
