I don't know danish so I can't say if her danish is correct or not but she looks calm and has a lovely and clear voice!
I can't wait to see the pics!

I have to say that Princess Marie did wonderfully today..I was really impressed by her danish! Accented, off course, but clear and enunciated, very pretty.
And the outfit! Excellent!

I think calm and collected is a very good summerization of the presentation. It wasn't perfect grammatically, (there were some r's missing at some endings, and in some words) and it was stilted in places, but the speech improved much as she went along (and got a bit more confident  ) But as she was very clear when she spoke, it was also fairly easy to understand what she was intending to say.
She looked very calm as she was leaving the National Museum.

Good for Marie! I have been cheering for her since the wedding. She looked lovely, she sounded lovely, and she seemed confident and charming. I hope to see her taking on more solo engagements. I'm sure that Prince Joachim is very proud!
