Our diligent Mary hasn't slept long this Saturday morning, she participates in these hours in the opening of the Scandinavian finale for FIRST LEGO League, Copenhagen:

She was received with cheers, songs and a somewhat different flower girl - Mary's flower girl was in fact a robot that was programmed to present her with flowers

Call me oldfashioned, but except perhaps in the eyes of some nerds it ain't particularly cute.

Video from BB:

In her speech Mary tells us (in fluent Danish with Copenhagen dialect ) that she also knew the Lego brick in Tasmania and about her own children Mary says in her speech: I know from my own children how happy they are for technologies and how easy it is for them to use them.

And as Roskilde pointed out to me the flower-bot sadly hasn't got the charm of WallE.

Thanks, Iceflower.

Here is a Daily Mail article: Princess Mary in leather skirt as she opens new Lego League Games in Denmark | Daily Mail Online

This time the readers seem more interested. The articles about the movies about Mary's past generated few if any posts, but what she's actually doing that seems much more interesting.
What does "legs eleven" mean?

[Roskilde]

Legs eleven = used to describe a woman's legs as sexy. Rhymes with legs that go all the way up to heaven.
Urban Dictionary: legs eleven

A quick google research. So now we two have learned something new today Muhler. Tonight you must charm Mrs Muhler with a "legs eleven, Mrs"

I see.

Don't think I'll try that one. Poetry is better:
Ligesom solen vil jeg gerne,
give dig kys på hår og mund,
du mit lys, min smukke stjerne,
jeg er din fra denne stund.
- Eat dust, George Clooney.

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #50, 2014.
Written by Marianne Singer.

Recently composer and close friend of the Regent Couple, Bent Fabricius Bjerre, turned 90 and that was celebrated at Tivoli with close to 170 guests.
Among those who showed up was Mary. It's pretty obvious that Mary is close to Bent Fabricius Bjerre and that she is very fond of him. - Perhaps he's a kind of honorary grandad to her.
The dinner started at 18.00 and when she arrived Mary said: "I'm looking forward to celebrating him... He's a unique person". With her went former Court Chief Ove Ullerup and his wife. Frederik was away to a meeting with the IOC.
The Tivoli Guard supplied the honor guard. The music corp's uniforms being very much inspired by the gala uniform of the Royal Life Guard regiment.
Mary's Gypsy earrings were by Charlotte Lynggaard - with diamonds and moonstones (whatever that is).

ADDED: Bent Fabricius Bjerre has churned out evergreen after evergreen since the 50's and he is still going strong. Some fifteen years ago he sat down and composed a techno piece, just to see if he could do it. He could, it went number one on the charts!
To an international audience he most well known piece is probably Alley Cat, but my favorite among the many he has made is the theme to the Olsen Gang, because you can't help cheer up when you hear it.

As always thanks Muhler
A magazine set a date, it was Sunday evening (also why Frederik couldn't attend as he was to the IOC meetings in Monaco) It's indeed pretty obvious that Mary is close to Bent and has been for many years. The magazine also says Bent and Mary often ride together in Dyrehaven. Something I didn't knew.
He is an impressive fresh 90-year-old. He also plays tennis 2-4 times a week with younger participants.

Finally we'll get to see Mary again. Kronprinsesse Mary til smykkefest på H. C. Andersen Slottet | Billed Bladet

BB reports that we will see her again on the 30th January in Tivoli in Copenhagen at the Copenhagen International Fashion Fair. Here she will visit the Jewellery Room, that hosts exhibitions for Danish jewellery designers, some of whose products Mary has often been seen wearing. - So my guess is that we will see her wearing some new bling-bling for the occasion.

[Muhler]

BB has a video of Mary at the CIFF which started today.
She wasn't scheduled to attend: VIDEO: Kronprinsesse Mary overraskede ved modeshow | Billed Bladet

Last year DK exported for 24 billion DKK of fashion, so it's major export!

[polyesco]

Nice to see her again.
In the article it states that the designer is Mark Kenly Domino Tan a relatively new designer, and he won DANISH Design Talent.
Good for Mary supporting the new talent

[Muhler]

More from Royalista. Especially for those who are interested in seeing what Mary wore at CIFF: VIDEO: Mary pays surprise visit to Copenhagen Fashion Week | Royalista

[Roskilde]

Together with her good friend Ellen Hillingsøe (a really nice person IMO) Mary, who looks very elegant, this afternoon visited Ole Yde's show. Mary has often worn Ole Yde's design.

I know they are happy to see Mary back this time, Mary hasn't visited the week the last few years.
Perhaps we will see Mary and also sister-in-law Marie for tonight's big Marlene Birger show.

And a BT gallery: She looks very chic!

Well, Roskilde, according to the last paragraph of the Royalista article posted by Muhler, the Crown Princess is expected to attend the Marlene Birger show tonight. I don't know whether that is pure speculation on the journalist's part or whether she has the info from a reputable source. I guess tomorrow's articles will tell.
