Yes, I'm pretty sure you are right, Queen Margrethe usually attends that event each year!


Here are some more photos provided by the Palace:

Yes, I remember it used to be the Regent Couple who attended this event, and I guess after Henrik's retirement + death it was the Queen alone.

[Muhler]

Well, QMII certainly attended in 2016:

I'll check the archive. If so it does make sense that Mary steps in, as her job as Rigsforstander must also include substituting for QMII at annual events she would usually attend.

But Frederik is back in town and now regent

Yes, he is. Maybe this event will now be attended by Mary going forward.

[polyesco]

I think so..

Yes, or it wasn't clear exactly when Frederik would return to DK, when the last bits of the state visit was planned.
Anyway, with QMII getting older we can indeed expect Mary and/or Frederik to take over that event as well.

[Alisa]

My first thought was that she must be exhausted after the state visit- therefore CP Mary attends.

Queen Margrethe is still in Germany. She‘ll attend a final event in Munich, Germany, tomorrow, November 13.

On December 8th, CP Mary paid a visit to The Cancer Plant at Rigshopitalet

The Cancer Plant is a common living space for cancer patients and meeting place for young patients. It give the patients a place to hang out with their peers and engage in various activities.

Per the calendar, there was no press access so I doubt there will be photos

[Muhler]

No, no press and I think that's both appropriate and considerate.

It is after all about the cancer patients. Not Mary being seen visiting cancer patients.
Another matter is that no matter how considerate the press-people are, they will nevertheless cause some disturbance and stress, for both the patients as well as the staff, who have plenty to look after these days.
Also, some of the patients may not be keen on being seen by strangers, let alone photographed.

This makes it all the more intimate and personal.

I completely agree. Having photographers flashing away would be disruptive and take away from the time Mary spent there.

The top photo of Mary is very good!

Judging from the photos Mary's visit was very much appreciated. The body-language and atmosphere in the photos leaves an impression of warmth and being relaxed. - As it should be.

With all possible respect for QMII and Benedikte. It wouldn't have been quite the same, I think.
These are young people 15-29 and Mary (and Frederik) suits that age-group well. Also because to most present I think M&F is the regent couple.

Crown Princess Mary participated in the UN Women and Boston Consulting Group's "Gender Diversity Roundtable" at the UN City in Copenhagen today, March 7.

When arriving she was asked about the current situation in the Ukraine and answered:

"We follow the development with great concern. Our thoughts are with the Ukrainian people and the children and adults who fear for the future", "It is clear that it is very important to talk to your children about what is going on and answer the many questions they have. As best you can now." According to Billed Bladet she also "stressed the importance of highlighting hope for the future and for the Ukrainian people".
