Yes. Many of the older royals will be seen only via video for quite some time - probably until we have herd immunity, however that is reached, and the virus is fully contained. Elizabeth II, Harald and Sonja, Carl Gustav and Silvia, Margrethe; they're all at high risk due to their ages. Charles and Camilla are in the risk group too. The next generation will be quite prominent in the next few years in the public absence of their elders.

Isn't her hair usually a bit darker?

 It is a new large nature adventure park in mid west Jutland. A place where you can feel the power of the nature.
I saw the live broadcast:
It was not part of the official program, but Crown Princess Mary would nevertheless see and try to stand in the storm from the storm machine.
It happened in front of a kindergarten, and the children were clapping enthusiastically of their Crown Princess as both her hair and jacket were almost blown of her

The Crown Princess said she thought the park would be a good activity for children.
"I think it's very important that children learn to observe the world they live in," she said.
She also said she felt that her and the Crown Prince's children would enjoy a visit to the park.

No prize for guessing whether M&F will take their children to Naturkraft on a cloudy summerday or in the autumn holiday. Naturkraft is located only an hours scenic drive from Trend.

When the visit to Naturkraft was over Mary went to Ringkøbing town to look at a sculpture at a square there.
That was outside the schedule and came as a surprise to the locals who happened to be there.
The sculpture is Miss Ringkøbing that has been created by her father-in-law:

Lene Balleby from the PR office at the DRF, was contacted yesterday and suggested that Mary might wish to see the sculpture, so a man was dispatched to clean the sculpture of pigeon... eh ofpigeon-leftovers.
Lene Balleby is also from Ringkøbing.
While admiring the sculpture a friend of M&F, the journalist Anders Agger, came by and had a chat with Mary.
You can see a blurred photo of the two here: https://dbrs.dk/artikel/mary-bes%C3%...p%C3%A5-torvet

Today, July 13, Crown Princess Mary delivered a virtual opening speech at the annual panel debate on women's rights during the 44th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva:

Thanks, Polyesco. 
Mary's speech is well covered here in DK. Not least it's the first time ever, that a royal is heading a large international LGBT event.
Even though the Pride parade has been reduced to smaller, local events, due to Corona.
But Mary's speech was anticipated with great expectation by the LGBT community.
https://www.bt.dk/samfund/kronprinse...l-at-hoere-til
Mary's speech was very much about the right to be who we are, also in regards to sexual orientation.
She also mentioned that DK is in the lead in regards to official acceptance and recognition of LGBT rights, including the right to marry and adopt children.
- I can in that context add that another country very close to DK, has just decreased the rights of LGBT people. That includes a ban on same-sex couple holding hands in public, let alone kissing and showing other forms of affection towards persons of the same sex.

A strong speech! About being allowed to be who you are. As previously written, the speech has been received with applause.
We know from Crown Prince Frederik that Crown Princess Mary writes her own speeches, and she holds them in a heartfelt spoken language.
- If rights are to matter, they must live and breathe.

It's a shame that the Danish court doesn't offer a subtitled version of Crown Princess Mary's speech like the Swedish court did with Crown Princess Victoria's speech at the Stockholm Pride Digital Parade but here's a condensed version with extensive quotes from the speech.

Thank you very much. Indeed it is a shame, considering its a global event.
