Princess Marie, Current Events Part 1: March 2009 - June 2016

[Artemisia]

As always, thanks a lot for posting and translating articles for us, Muhler.
Really liked the "she looks like a real Princess" bit.

[Muhler]

My pleasure, Artemisia

I enjoy to see our Marie interact with people, she's very good at the personal touch, as far as I can tell.

ADDED: A longer clip from TV2 Syd: Kongelig sprøjtefører i Tønder - tvsyd.dk - TVSyd - Nyheder - Lokal - Tønder
Of Marie in action.

Towards the end of the segment Marie says: "It's been a fantastic day".
To which the reporter comments: "Do you (formal you) even think it has been a funny day"?
Marie laughingly admits that it has.

The other main character in the this segment is a boy named Oskar, and my hand itched, wanting to give him a haircut. My own son is also pretty longhaired and I've threathened to cut his hair in his sleep.

On another note. Mary clearly speaks with a Copenhagener accent, but Marie is a bit more difficult to pin down, she certainly has picked up a few local Southern Jutlandic sounds, then suddenly a Copenhagener accent pops up.

Princess Marie of Denmark becomes a fire fighter - hellomagazine.com

[Muhler]

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #41, 2012.
Marie legede med ilden - Marie played with fire.
Written by our fiery correspondent Ken Richter.

As you now our Marie took a very active part in the nation wide fire prevention campaing at schools.
As such she, and other firefighters from the Civil Defence arrived at Tønder School in a fireengine, with lights flashing and horns blaring.
Wearing a fake burn on her cheek, she enthusiastically took part in helping pupils putting out a fire in a pot and pushing a soccer ball with the help of the water jet from a firehose. It was here an anarchistic firehose squirted her right in the face, leading her to crack up:
"I got water in the eye, but that's what happens when you are a bit active".

After handing out diplomas to the pupils she said: "It's important that children learn how dangerous fires are and I can both see and hear that they have already learned a lot".

Last years Marie went through the four weeks of basic course at the Civil Defence. (*)

(*) I use Civil Defence on purpose, even though that is no longer the correct name, because everyone know what civil defence is, but The Emergency Agency? What's that??

- AS BB only cover Marie's arrival to Cambodia, I'll wait until next week to write about that.

Our Marie picked a fine day for canooing. A bit chilly at the coast perhaps.

Kattegatcenteret is located less than an half an hour from where we live and we know it pretty well. It needs some publicity because times have been hard. With the ongoing crisis visits to such places are among the things people save.

I'm sure we can expect to see more tonight at TV2's regional news: tv2oj.dk

[Muhler]

A segment from TV2 Eastern Jutland, covering our Marie's visit to the Kattegat Centre. (Kattegat is the stretch of sea between Jutland, Norway and Denmark). TV 2 | ØSTJYLLAND | Marie: "Jeg er imponeret" | Nyheder | Norddjurs

Marie said she was very impressed and the interactive activities is a good idea and answering a question she replied that the centre would interest her children.

- She is using simple sentences and fairly simple words, but apart from her accent her Danish was perfect in regards to pronounciation and grammar. And she spoke fast! She is as such very easy to understand indeed.
Mary use more complicated sentence structures and often more difficult words but I have to say Marie's pronounciation is now just as good and in some ways better.

Marie is looking superb lately!!! She's always my favorite of the DRF. So glad that she's working more now.

Yes, and while Isabella went to school for the first time, our Marie visited a children's ward at Odense University Hospital.

A brief clip from TV2 Fyn: http://www.tv2fyn.dk/article/420832:...nehospital?rss
The girl in the striped blouse is eleven year old Maya who is sufferening from a lung desease, which means she has been committed many times since she was a toddler.
Marie was informed about the project Children's Cohorte, where 3.000 children will be followed from birth until they turn 18. The aim is to get an overview of their overall health.
Marie also visited the cancer ward for children.

- One's daily problems are so trivial in comparison...

Thank you, Muhler!


Here are two more nice pics of Marie's visit today:

Here is video from BB, complete with very annoying background music! Video: Prinsesse Marie imponeret over skoleelever

Marie today visited a state school in Espergærde.
Here she was taken for a tour of the school with emphasis on the pupils from 0-2 grade.
This school also has a kind of mentor arrangement, though in contrast to the school Bella and Christian is attending, only to the second grade.

Marie also visited a 7th grade being taught French and listened to the pupils commending them and saying she would wish she spoke as well Danish as they spoke French. As we can actually hear the pupils speak French, I'll leave it those who speak French to judge. They also had a skype co-operation with a high school class who also study French, as a part of being taught French, which is brilliant idea.
Notice the teacher who managed to do 4½ curtesy when our Marie entered the classroom.
With her also went Minister for Education Christine Antorini, but who cares about her, she's Radical... but they are also human, I suppose.

Marie appeared to be very busy when she left, for once almost declining to say a few words but did it anyway, commending the school and believing it would be the best school. Half way in the car she added that all her children, boys and girls and what not, are learning French.
