The clips that has been posted during the day is from an interview/portrait on DR1 that is to be shown in 60 minutes from now:
https://www.dr.dk/drtv/kanal/20875
You should be able to watch it outside DK.
Of course it will no doubt be in Danish only.
Heads up.
I suggest you keep an eye on the news on tv2.dk - there should hopefully soon be a newsclip showing what went on at Amalienborg today - with subtitles, so I can read what I can't hear. 
If anyone can dig such a clip up, I'll be delighted to translate.

Were Princess Mary's father, brothers and nephews at the party?

So many lovely moments. How wonderful that Mary went out to greet the people who had gone to wish her a happy birthday. Just lovely! And the kids greeting their mom at the door, I'm sure they are moved as well.
Thank you all for the links and translations.

i'm amazed at the many interviews, photoshoots, exhibitions and festivities surrounding mary's 50th - she must be a really well liked public figure.

I'm a little surprised as well, albeit pleasantly surprised.
Had it not been for the cancellations, I think the celebration of Mary would have rivaled Frederik's.
And he must be beside himself with pride and delight!

Oh wow...at the end of the DR1 program Mary is surprised with a beautiful song by the Danish Girl Choir. Mary is move to tears. Here is the link to the video

Wow indeed. It was beautiful. The choir all looked so sincere as they sung. I am not surprised CP Mary was emotional.

I'm delighted there is a live clip you can watch outside DK.
The CP family has just arrived, Mary, but also very much Isabella, and Josephine too, looking very stylish.
You will be in for a treat when the photos surface.
The guests at this event are all from associations and organizations that Mary work with or for whom she is a patron.
--------------
The actual show will start in five minutes.
-------------
Wonderful! The children talk.
Christian admire his mother for what she does.
Vincent is happy that he can tell her secrets.
Isabella says that they sometimes tease their mother, when she mispronounce Danish words. - With Mary of course being adamant that she is right. (Seemingly the children haven't seen through that one yet.)
Can't remember what Josephine said.
-------------
Greetings from the various protections.
-------------
The children explain that their mother is very focused when preparing her work and that it has to be perfect.
And also that when she returns from trips abroad like Africa, she tells her children about, meaning that they appreciate how well we are here in DK.
And then the little rascals make a little fun of her pronunciations - see above.
-----
The dude who is sitting on the stage howling, is singing... an interpretation of the unofficial and third national anthem, written by HC Andersen. - Perhaps a spotlight will drop on him and free us from more misery...
-----------------
The pretty girl, met Mary when she was visiting a Christmas Seal Home. Here children and young with low self-esteem are rebuild - and for her, this was a new beginning. A new beginning free from loneliness.
--------
Josephine says Mary gives them a lot of love. And she's pretty good at singing. She can sing sorta old-fashioned songs. And she can kinda dance-like.
Vincent: She's pretty good at dancing.
Christian: She's good a playing the air guitar.
Isabella: She's good on drums and can't help drumming if she gets near some.
Vincent: Some says she's old, but she really isn't at all.
----------
It's tradition that after the first flight in an F-16 is thrown into the fire-pond.
----
Another song, another example of cat-pining-pop.
-----------
Mary was praised for being very empathic and for being exceptionally present, when talking to people and for getting people to trust her and open up, even on topics that are painful and traumatic.
--------------------
The children talked about Mary being very aware of the climate and environment. They don't have plastic utensils for example.
Christian has realized that he too can make a difference.
She is also very fond of animals, not least horses! She visit her horses on a daily basis, not necessarily to ride them, the children observes.
She complains that she's the only one who walks Grace, but that's not true, Vincent points out, he too walks Grace - from time to time.
-----------
Vegemite is an acquired taste, it appears...
--------------
Okay, that's it.
While the praise of Mary was fully deserved I think it was a bit over the top for comfort for a Dane/Australian.

Thanks Muhler. Disappointing that we cannot see the shows outside Denmark even although they would be in Danish!

Thank you for the summaries and links. Looking forward to any and more translations Muhler.
The segment with the kids was super cute. Just like for Frederik's birthday. That they can be so open and honest is really great.

Yes and all this despite the restrictions and the Danish Royal House have done a wonderful job here.

Actually i like it that she was celebrated but i find it a bit much given that she is still the Crown Princess and not yet the Queen. This is the same amount we usually had for Queen Margrethe's round birthdays and she is the reigning Queen.

I think she deserves all the thanks and celebrations considering the amount of work she does for Denmark!

Whilst I, too, would expect to see Mary's 50th marked with some new pictures, there seem to be a lot of new pictures released.

Maybe but the same is in my opinion the case for Queen Mathilde, Queen Letizia, Queen Máxima etc.

I think it's mostly because of the amount of interviews (with photos) in addition to the new book (all photos) lol
But I would say that the level of celebration is pretty much on par with Frederik's in 2018, with quite a few things in common: - New portrait & exhibition
- Gala (albeit cancelled)
- New book
- TV birthday show
- New facility with their names (well Mary got two)
And then F gets a documentary while M gets multiple interviews.
But the carriage ride and balcony appearance are still reserved for the heir  And we got the Royal Run from F where all citizens can participate and became a new tradition
