Where we see Frederik and Mary helping each other with the teasing helmets before they were given a tour of the construction site. The weather looks fantastic.

Tonight, there will be a official dinner. And tomorrow morning F&M will fly to Doha where their visit continues the next 2 days...

The video is wonderful. Love Mary with the little girls, such a warm person.

This image of the two is wonderful, Even in a highly conservative country, the Frederik and Mary "magic" still shines. They are such a great team and you can tell they have enjoyed being together.

I dont get the uproar about Frederik being in a short sleeve shirt. He has worn suit and tie in 90% of the visit so far, certainly looking like a CP ;), the trip to the museum was a private visit not on the agenda.

Another picture from the dinner yesterday, where they both look fantastic

I think it's a different coat: Mary from the start: Going home with Lilleprinsen + first official pictures

It's possible she had it altered, but the colour looks a different shade to me.

I rather think it's this one: http://media.gettyimages.com/photos...y-of-denmark-at-city-hall-picture-id158078096

Thanks for the video. The Saudi women aren't likely to catch skin cancer, that's for sure! They look like a Monty Python joke really. :ohmy:

And a nice BB video from today, Day 1 in Qatar:

VIDEO: Driblekongen kronprins Frederik viste lækkerier på fodboldbanen i Qatar | BILLED-BLADET

Where F&M visited the stadium and where we see Frederik is an accomplished soccer player, but that it's probably good Mary hasn't gone down the football career way :lol:

The Danish football national team was excited about Frederik and Mary, and said the same words we hear from all who meet the Crown Prince Couple: "These two are so relaxed, and down to earth, and they are fresh on trying everything. Super cool."



That's a great large gallery from today on the first day in Qatar. Thanks :flowers:

:previous: It's interesting to see how more relaxed the visit seems to has been now they have traveled on to Doha. It's different from from the days in Saudi Arabia. Just look at the pictures from the official dinner tonight. Frederik and Mary - with the arms around each other while sending loving glances - as we know them. That was not happened in Saudi Arabia where they hardly dared touching each other - and when you are guests in a country you of course respect their culture.

This morning, the last day, Day 5:

And the first thing Mary was ready with was a genuine warm-hearted greetings to Sweden's Victoria and Daniel :wub: :wub:

- "It is absolutely wonderful. I am SO happy. We are SO happy. And we have sent our greatest congratulations and we share their joy. We have followed much with in Victoria's pregnancy, so it's so lovely to hear a little boy has arrived well and safely into our world."

And we already have a HUGE gallery (142 pictures) from today, Day 5:

This noon were Frederik's and Mary's last day during this official visit. I guess F&M arrives home in Denmark during this evening.

I couldn't agree more. They are excellent representatives and make a great working team.
The pictures of Mary today at the kindergarten are beautiful!

Thank you to all for the videos, photos and translations! Is it just me or did they look more relaxed once they left Saudi Arabia and traveled on to Qatar?

Oh definitely;)
Some playfulness between them did sneak out in Saudi Arabia
http://ekstrabladet.dk/incoming/mdxiut/5973741/IMAGE_ALTERNATES/p900/Kronprinsparret i Saudi Arabien
But they were more conservative due to the ultra strict "rules"
But I was more then glad to see Mary by his side, and even front and center

And once in Qatar, they were able to be a little more themselves. with the simple natural act of putting their arms around each other

It pleases me to learn that Frederik is the man, I believe he is.

There is an observation by the BB reporter accompanying them to Saudi Arabia I'd like to share with you:

" - More times, than were really necessary, Crown Prince Frederik presented his wife (formal word) to anyone and anybody who got close to the CP-couple. And each time he introduced Mary, it was with a proud look in his eyes". - In other words they were forced to acknowledge and greet Mary. :D

:previous: Thanks Muhler. I also liked that detail a lot. It does not surprise me, though.

This video from today from BB shows it clearly.
F&M visits the Emir of Qatar.. Notice how Frederik obviously proud presents Mary around 1:22 into the video. That's a proud husband who is side by side with his wife. And not afraid to show it.

Notice around 01:22
http://play.billedbladet.dk/article/4C113128/Kronprinsesse-Mary-sagde-farvel-til-emiren-af-Qatar/

**

Mary also says at the end of the video that it has been a 'very educational trip that has made strong impression...' I think we all know what she means.

I think the Danish government and the Danish business owes The Crown Prince Couple a big excuse for having dragged the couple along on this humiliating visit.

But F & M has done their duty. And they have done it - as we know them - with a positive and respectful attitude, and as a strong and proud couple/team.

**

This was F&M's last event... And I guess they arrives home in Denmark soon.
Frederik is Denmark's regent tomorrow.

Thanks Roskilde. I did not expect anything less from them. No wonder the ministers insisted they go, they do so well in all of these economic trips to various countries. Great representatives.

And yes Frederik is beyond proud of his wife

In the BB videos, when Mary speaks English, she clearly has her Australian accent again. I love that :flowers: Must be a remainder of the past holidays back home... When she's a bit more "on guard" she tries to hide the accent a bit and replace it by a British one, but I think she should just be proud of her roots :)

Ekstrabladet critizises Mary for remaining silent on women's rights in Saudia Arabia.
While in the US, on safe ground, she said 'I want a world where women have equal opportunities and freedom to shape their own destiny and ambition', but remains silent where it should have mattered.

While I understands that both events cannot be compared (official visit vs. UN event), I find it surprising that the Danish media calls her out on this issue.

likely they would have called her out for being too political if she had said something. She's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't.
 
This is a business trip and there is no place for her IMO to speak out nor was there an appropriate event to do so.

That article is one week old I see and it was no big thing in the media - and thanks for that! Because it was again one of those 'story' where the media don't care about facts - they only think about creating a good story.

Although it was no big deal in the media (I followed the visit well, but have not seen the article before now). But it has nevertheless get BT to publicly complain and say sorry about their article about the Crown Princess.

BT retter - Danmark | www.bt.dk

The DRF has just published this press release:

BT brings today the 8th March the following correction on page two of BT and at bt.dk:

"BT wrote Wednesday, the 2rd March 2016, that Crown Princess Mary described Saudi Arabia's response to violence against women as' a great success'. It is not correct. Crown Princess spoke exclusively about the efforts being made by Khalid Fondation of violence against women. Crown Princess Mary relates in other words not to the Saudi efforts for women's rights in general or the law that is being discussed in the article and which Amnesty International commenting on.

BT regrets."

DR1 send a 30 minuttes long broadcast "With the Crown Prince Couple in Saudi Arabia" last Saturday evening. It was a good, informative and balanced broadcast. As it should be. And it showed how well and good our Crown Prince couple handled the trip.

One of the most liked comment:
"I was touched to see DR's broadcast and see how beautiful and worthy our Crown Prince Couple handled the challenge they were put on in Saudi Arabia. I can imagine it emotionally was a very difficult official visit for the Crown Prince Couple, but they once again struck me as top professionals and I'm happy and proud of their appearance, dignity and behaving. Thank for having them!"

And I think the Danish business and government owe the Crown Prince couple a huge thanks and a apology for this visit.

Couldn't agree more. This was a very difficult trip but once again they demonstrated to be top representatives of DK. :flowers:
