So am I correct in assuming that Frederik & Mary's 4 children will each get their own coat of arms once their father becomes king?

You are welcome.

Yes, M&F's children will each have their own coat of arms. But whether their spouses, apart from Christian's will have their own coat of arms is a much more interesting question.

Thanks for the clarification, Nordic.

Stupid question, sorry....but will Frederik's coat of arms stay the same once he becomes King?

[Muhler]

No, he will take over the official crest for the Danish realm: https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margre...of_Denmark.svg

I imagine Mary's crest will change too, once she become queen. At least the text in Latin may change. But she's a trailblazer, because Mary is the first Crown Princess ever in the DRF who got her own crest. And that was because Danish princesses after 1953 could receive the Order of the Elephant. Before then it was only princes and majesties and men (Churchill being one) who got the order.

"HRH The Crown Princess participated today in an orientation meeting with the Danish Refugee Council on the current refugee situation and on the organization's ongoing work and focus areas. Among other things, the Crown Princess was told about the project 'Mindspring' and on Danish Refugee Aid's forward-looking strategies. It was also the Crown Princess's last orientation meeting with Secretary General Andreas Kamm before he ends on November 1st."

This meeting, like many of Frederik and Mary, is not on the official calendar.

[Muhler]

No, it's clear that a lot of meetings, briefings, fact findings, investigations and talks takes place on a daily basis within the DRF.
A lot of "office-work" which people tend not to regard as work.

- But you try walk into your boss' office and tell him/her that only business trips, marketing events and hosting other businessmen count as work. - And count how many seconds will pass before you are asked to exit through the "wooden thing in the wall behind you!"

[Hannelore]

Do any of the other royal houses publish their office working days? I'm not really sure this should be happening, how far do you want to go in giving photos of each day in your life, in accounting for each activity?

For me this is the fine balance 21st century royals need between being celebrities and being a dignified royal. It'll be interesting to see how this evolves with the next generation!

The Crown Princess speaks at the Danish Industry's Summit.

Mary will be in Aarhus on 26th October, to open the Danish version of the British Hay Festival - which is about literature for children.

And now for something more serious: Udviklingsministeren og HKH Kronprinsessen må aflyse rejse til Senegal, men fortsætter i samarbejde med Red Barnet kampen mod børneægteskaber

The Foreign Ministry has today announced that a visit to the African country of Senegal next week, where Mary and the Minister for Development should have taken part in a meeting about child-marriages (i.e. early teens being married) has been cancelled for security reasons.
There is no elaboration as to the nature of the security reasons, but this comes days after a US warning about the security situation in the country. The warning was about an impending terror attack.

- So it seems like the local authorities haven't been able to fully neutralize that threat, hence the warning.

That's unfortunate and I'm sure Mary is disappointed along with everyone else who no doubt put in a lot of time and effort in advance of the planned visit. Hopefully it can be rescheduled in the future and, obviously much more importantly, I hope the situation in Senegal is managed effectively without anyone getting hurt.

Agreed. CP Mary's work in this area is so important. I hope they can neutralise the situation and she can go to Senegal. Child marriages absolutely mortify me - and it needs people like CP Mary to help campaign against it

They were meant to be there from tomorrow, Monday, and attend a fairly big
summit with lots of people and several big organizations attending.

Mary's trip to Senegal was canceled but she is today in Mali (thus had to miss today's concert with the DRF )

Mali, especially the northern half of Mali (it's a pretty big country, as in seriously big!) is a quite risky place.
I can't remember off hand if Danish special forces are still operating in Mali right now, but there is a military contingent there.

[polyesco]

Indeed. It was last year that Frederik visited Danish troops in Mali

Mary must be on her way back by now. She has two events on the 25th

Was the Minister of Development Cooperation also scheduled to go to Senegal?

Yes and she was with Mary in Mali.



The press release on the cancellation of the visit in Danish
from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Udviklingsministeren og HKH Kronprinsessen må aflyse rejse til Senegal, men fortsætter i samarbejde med Red Barnet kampen mod børneægteskaber

The DRF has not said a word about Senegal or the visit to Mali. So far.
