All great photos of the event. I wonder if the flower girl is related to the Wedell family. Perhaps Mary knows her personally and that is why she is giving her a hug.
 
I notice that the man, standing next to Mary when baptizing the ship, puts his hand on her.
Normally that would be a breach of protocol but they know each other. He is a member of the Ahlefeldt family, as such within the circle of M&F's personal friends.
That's Johan Wedell-Wedellsborg. Not the Ahlefeldts, I think?
The girl Mary is hugging is perhaps his daughter. I think the rest of his family also attended.
 
More pictures from yesterday:

Such nice pictures from yesterdays event, but as usual I'm tempted to say, nothing about Frederik and Mary's events the last days on the DRF's Facebook page. That's a bit a shame IMO, it seems the Facebook site only is following the Queen when she is on tours. I hope they improve...

It appears a sort of tradition, when a shipping company asks a Royal to Launch/name a ship they are given a gift usually a brooch or something. Princess Anne was once given a tiara. So I wonder if Crown Princess Mary will receive a nice brooch or something like that.
 
Summary of article in Billed Bladet #24, 2016.

Wearing hook & Eye earrings from Dulong, Mary recently christened a new ship in Copenhagen.
Mary had been invited by the close friend of M&G, baron Johan Wedell-Wedellsborg. Who was there as well as his wife, baroness Rebecca Wedell-Wedellsborg, as well as their four children. In fact nine year old Mathilde Wedell-Wedellsborg was the flowergirl and got a big hug by Mary.
But also other friends were present. Kaspar Basse (don't know who he is), Alexander Kølpin and Peter Heering.
Frederik was at the same time busy presenting grants at Amalienborg.

So it was a very delighted Mary who after being declared the godmother by Johan Wedell, named the ship Stenaweco Impulse. - Not a particularly sexy name, even for a tanker!
Mary had more to do with the fact that this tanker, the sixth of it's kind, use 20 % less fuel than similar ships and that is of course in line with official Danish and Swedish politics and export in regards to environmentally-friendly solutions.
Johan Wedell owns Weco Shipping and together with the Swedish Stena Bulk they are buying thirteen such ships.
Weco Shipping is again a part of Weco group which is owned by the entire Wedell-Wedelsborg family.

But back to Mary, she was thanked in Johan Wedell's speech as is proper and referred to as godmother. Then she gave a speech in return, basically hoping the best for the ship and it's crew, whereupon she smashed a bottle of champagne against the ship.
Then a number of group photos were made before it was time for lunch.

The brooch she is seen wearing, she also wore at a visit to Estonia.

-----------------

Mary also went to the annual Reumert Event, where people within the world of theater honor, praise and celebrate each other and generally agreeing on how wonderful they all are... :p

Anyway, Mary wore a dress by Prada, and the Kharisma earrings from Dulong. - And that's pretty much it.

Dear admins: Where to post all these pre-Olympics events Frederik and Mary have in Rio these days? Is this the correct thread? :flowers:

So lovely pictures of Mary today presenting LEGO boxes to Institute for Child Development in Rio de Janeiro.

Mary is a true pleasure to see with people and children. Genuine and warm and on the children's level. She always lies almost down on the floor to be in the same level as them. What's today's pictures again shows so nicely:

Mary also got a chance to say hello to an Aussie swimmer,

"She was watching the Danish swim team practise but was nice enough to say hi when she noticed a lone Aussie in the pool. Very knowledgeable on all things sport and super friendly too!!"

Oh I love it! :lol:

It was a busy day for Mary yesterday.

So lovely pictures from the LEGO event, and I like how F&M always support the Danish atlethes, as well as the Australians. I know it means ALOT to them!

When Danish swimmer Lotte Friis yesterday wrote: "The best thing Denmark ever got from Australia is by far our crown princess Mary. So honoured that she chose to drop by and watch our practice this morning" it is genuine. The same with Frederik. I really think it means alot to the Danish atlethes everytime F&M show up to support them.
