I don't recall having seen that adjutant before. Probably a new one.

In the DRF all adjutants belongs to QMII's Staff of Adjutants and they accompany the various DRF members as needed. There are no adjutants allocated a specific DRF member, as in say Sweden, where Crown Princess Victoria has her own adjutant.

That is great! Official note from the DRF
H.K.H. Kronprinsessen bliver protektor for Copenhagen 2021 | Kongehuset

In 2021, Copenhagen will host the international human rights event Copenhagen 2021, which aims to ensure equal rights for LGBTI people around the world. The Crown Princess has agreed to become the patron of the event, in which Her Royal Highness states:

“As a Dane, I am proud that Copenhagen will host WorldPride and EuroGames in the summer of 2021. We cannot accept that some people in the world are being faced with intolerance and discrimination because of their sexuality or gender identity. I look forward to helping put diversity and LGBTI rights on the agenda both at home and internationally. I look forward to what I am sure will be some festive and important events both up to and during Copenhagen 2021 ”.

"Every day during this time, DR1 broadcasts morning songs, with Philip Faber, who is the conductor of the DR Girl Choir, singing and playing too directly from his living room.

HRH The Crown Princess is patron of the Girl Choir, and tomorrow Her Royal Highness has been given the opportunity to request a song. Read the Crown Princess's letter to Philip Faber here."

Mary has as patron for Grieving Children send a message in prime time on DR1 in a very popular program called: Singing together - apart.

Some of you may recall it from QMII's birthday, where the public all over the country was singing along to songs on TV.

I'm sure someone will dig up the clip with Mary shortly

FYI: It was shown 6 minutes into the program.

Shared on the DRF facebook
"“It is natural that you become concerned for your loved ones, especially now that you may not be with them. Grief and worry are hard to handle for us humans, but talking about what's difficult can help. "
Children, Youth & Grief and The Danish National Center for Grief offer free counseling to anyone who has lost, such as a parent, a sibling, a child or spouse, or people who are relatives of people suffering from severe physical illness. The vision is that grief must not destroy life."

DR video and article: Special video greeting from the Crown Princess til singing Danes:

It was a lovely surprise to see our Crown Princess in DR's live program ‘Singing together - apart - with an important message! Too many is sitting alone, and who knows for how long this continue?

Among all the positive comments, there are some that I particularly notice.

That people are very fond of Mary's voice and language. Compassionate, calm, gentle and varm. In a excellent Danish although I also think it can be noticed for you who do not speak Danish. One writes that had she not been a Crown Princess she should have recorded audio books. I agree. She is a pleasure to listen to. I remember Frederik in his portrait book telling that one of the first things he was drawn to by Mary was her warm and relatively deep voice.

It's good to see Frederik and Mary send all these greetings in this different ‘stay at home’ time
