Are statistics prepared for the number of public engagements the Danish royals carry out, as is done for the Brits?
 
The short answer is no. You can check the Danish Royal Family Annual Report - there is an English version - but I don't remember any information about the number of engagements.

You're right, it does not state how many events the Danish royals have over a year. But it's not so difficult to figure out (it just takes time) - it's just going through the entire calendar from January to December. And so does some journalists once in a while, but that only makes you able to see the official (out of the house) events. Mary is usually high on the list of most events in a year, but have had some months of maternity leave in the last years.

I remember the critical magazine SeogHør did a count at the beginning of this year. They counted the days and figured out how much money the royals got per day. Mary was the one who received the least per day in relation to number of events in a year. The Queen was the one who received the most per day in relation to number of events. But IMO you can't do it in that way as the Queen has a bigger staff to pay, etc.. I can't remember the exact figures (will try to find the article...) but it was something like this:

Frederik: 110 events
Mary: 100 events
Margrethe: 90-100 events (all weekly's audience included)
Henrik: 60 events
Joachim: 60 events
Marie: 30-40 events

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #46, 2013.
Mary og de unge brude - Mary and the young brides.
Written by Ulrik Ulriksen.

Having returned back from Australia Mary went to see the exhibition Too Young To Wed, in Copenhagen by the photographer Stephanie Sinclair.
The controversial exhibition depicts girls, down to the age of six, who are being married - usually without any influence on the matter whatsoever.
As you can tell from the picture below, it was a serious Mary who watched the photographs of girls from Yemen, Afghanistan, Ethiopia and India.

Mary also took part in a meeting in UNPFA at Copenhagen University, where the topic were women's rights and reproductive health.

Our reporter spoke to Princess Mabel's adjutant during the meeting in Malaysia where both Mary and Mabel were present. And the adjutant told that the women had indeed discussed the topic of child brides, which is very high on the agenda for Princess Mabel.

I would love to know what is Startup Boot Camp? Could someone explain what it means please. Thanks
 
Mary is now listed as attending the open world conference tomorrow.

"HRH The Crown Princess participates in the opening of the international conference "An Open World: Science, Technology and Society in the light of Niels Bohr's thoughts." University of Copenhagen, Ceremonial Hall, Our Lady's Square, at. 9.00."

I believe it was originally Frederik who was suppose to attend. I wonder if he is ill or if something else came up, I know he is currently regent and had an audience on Monday.

more on the conference

thank you for interesting info.. but yeah it is most likely frederik suffering from the flu like so many other of us danes in the recent weeks, including myself, i have been in bed the last two days with the flu :/

maybe mary will be afsked today?

anyway i like how frederik&mary is good at helping each other instead of just cancel an event if they get sick or something it is a fine way to do it.

I see Mary is again watching the pensioners on the treadmill. - Good, good, it keeps them off the streets and out of mischief.

Pictures and article from AOH.dk from Mary visiting the Care Centre:
Besøg af en ikke helt almindelig pige | aoh.dk - alt om Herning

For an entire week the Lind Care and Activity has looked forward to get visit from their Crown Princess. Their parking space was packed with children and adults with waving flags to welcome Mary

And then she finally arrive - in the shiny black Krone 8. The atmosphere increases and the crowd whistle and cheer when Mary gets out of the car - elegant and smiling as always - and followed by her lady in waiting Tanja Elise Kjærsgaard Doky who actually is from Herning.

Mary walks around among the people and greets them, shakes their hands, small talks and is photographed with some of the people.

A Juttish woman would be happy to take some good pictures of Mary, but every time she tries, a man walks in front of her lens. She is quoted saying in real Juttish: "Flyt dig. Det er æ dig, vi vil have billeder af" :p (= "Please move. It's not you, we want pictures of)

Muhler, I need you to give a correct transalation from Juttish into English.

One from the staff from the Care Centre is quoted writing this quite sweet status on Facebook:
https://scontent-a-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1459918_588690831202685_2090084933_n.jpg

So is today's big event over, HRH Crown Princess Mary visited us at Lind Care Centre today where we served coffee for her.
She is so very down to earth, you have to look far if you want to find a more pleasant lady than her.

Mary photographed afterwards the show with one of our Danish swimmers, Rikke Møller Pedersen.

I shall try. :)

"Flyt dig! det er æt dig, vi vil have billeder af! = Ye, mov'! It ain't ye we wanna take pict'ers off"!! (Get out of the way! We don't want to take pictures of you"!)

But before that the lady grumbled about the man (the mayor I believe) in question: "He does cast a bit much shadow"! (= Is standing very much in the way).

And we have a clip from the local news of Mary visiting the retirement home: NET-TV på tvmidtvest.dk

I'll write a transcrips of what's being said. Just a little patience...

0:21 - Lady about Mary dropping by: "And we have been soooo loking forward to that, so that we are almost going a wee bit nuts".

1:31 - Olga, who was going to sit next to Mary says: "I think we have a lovely royal family. Very, very good".

1.51 - Here Mary missed a little joke said by the gentleman working at the machine. He says with a twinkle in his eye: "I'm a wooden man. I'm a wooden man". (Which is perhaps now older slang for a person who is a bit stiff and pretty boring). Mary obviously didn't get it and that's perfectly understandable.

A number of pics from BT of Mary in her coat in Herning.
Recycling and all that, but to me it's more interesting to see her change, also in her bearing in the thirteen years that have past.

We are now looking at a much more mature and confident Mary.
