 Indeed. Rock-stars and movie-stars and one or two Kardashians have ruthlessly been pushed aside by fans and journalists wishing to get near Stephen Hawkin!!
He has literally been received as the major star, he in several ways is, here in DK.
The tickets to this lecture were gone within a few minutes, so there are distinct advantages in being a royal sometimes.

Now a major sail-sport event attracts sailing-enthusiasts, both as spectators as well as people who would like to do their own "competition), as well as people who might just like to go for a cruise in Baltic (and Danish waters).
There is a saying in DK that goes something like this: Many little brooks maketh a big river. = Everything, no matter how little, matters when it comes to attract tourism.
And this is where Mary comes in.

HRH The Crown Princess attended a lecture about "Quantum Black Holes" by Stephen W. Hawking in DR's Concert Hall, Copenhagen.

Lovely portraits of the couple. I hope Mary wears that dress to an event so we can see the whole thing.

That is one seriously weird portrait of Mary! https://scontent.fath4-1.fna.fbcdn.n...fa&oe=5851A782
She looks spooked or apprehensive or baffled.
What was the artist thinking about?!?

Strange that the artist chose That photo of Mary when he would have taken so many more with her showing a different expression.
Fred of course looks like a dashing Prince in his uniform. Lets face it who doesn't love a man in a formal uniform.

Actually the reason this portrait may have been chosen is because it creates a mystery as to what the sitter was thinking.
Was she worried?
Was she feeling vulnerable about something?
The list goes on.

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #34, 2016.
Written by Ken Richter.
For the first time in I don't know how many years a new public school has been built in DK. The Frederikbjerg School in, you guessed it, Frederiksbjerg, which is a charming part of Aarhus city.
Here some 900 pupils are attending, who somehow managed to sit still and listen when Mary gave her three minutes speech and officially opened the school.
"The first day at school after the summer holiday is always exciting. Perhaps not everyone will admit it, but most in one way or another look forward.
For all of you who have been following the building of your fantastic new school, it must have been hard to wait for the school-year to begin.
Such grand surroundings you have. In a way it's you pupils, along with the staff who is going to build up the school. What values are to be applied here on the school? How do you address each other? How do you look after each other and how do you create the good community, so that there is room for all".
After that Mary changed shoes and went to the estate of Wilhelmsborg in the outskirt of Aarhus to watch an equestrian event. (Whatever it's called when horses and riders jump over fences). Mary presented the medals for the European teams that took part. In the article you can see a photo of Mary presenting bronze to the German team.
(You'll find the scans in the QM & PH thread).
