I think this is where the Crown Prince couple shine, in these Danish Business promotional visits

There is a live broadcast of Mary's arrival at these websites starting approx. 10.00 and 10.10. I hope you can see them outside Finland too.

Can see them here in DK.

I'm surprised they send live! It's after all only a business visit.

ADDED: Hmm, can't see anything.

They have shown Daniel's visits in Slush and his visits in finnish schools live so these broadcasts were no surprise.

[Muhler]

We can't complain about that, can we?

They sure were!

The helpless looking man to the left of Mary in the second photo is the Minister for Foodstuff, Ellemann.
At least he's not the most unintelligent minister in the current government. He may even become PM one day.

DRF was very quick. that is great! A very full agenda and Mary, like always, was ready

Denmark hit the jackpot with Mary. She’s a fabulous ambassador for the country.

[Muhler]

We sure did, Suztav.

A BB video of Mary cooking, or creating a dessert to be more correct: https://www.billedbladet.dk/kongelig...aekker-dessert
Together with the most well-known chef in Finland.

I believe Mary has admitted to being not the most competent cook, so I guess it's mostly Frederik who does what cooking is needed in the M&F home.

Mary said to IltaSanomat that this has been a wonderful visit, very inspiring and interesting. Mary revealed her name plate in Forum Marinum at the area where there are plates sold in benefit of the protection of the Baltic Sea. Mary was happy that her plate is beside her friends Victoria and Daniel's plate which they revealed on their visit in 2011.

What do I Finnish friends have to say to the coverage of Mary's visit?
Good? Average? Anything special you noticed?

The coverage has been very similar than at William's visit and Daniel's visit to Slush event, his visit with Prince Daniel's Fellowship and on his visits to finnish schools. President Sauli Niinistö met Daniel and representatives of Prince Daniel's Fellowship on their visit. But president Niinistö has been in Latvia yesterday and today. And there was less people at Forum Marinum today than at Victoria and Daniel's visit. Then there was a lot of people everywhere in Turku where they visited. IltaSanomat writes that there was a few dozen people waiting for Mary at Forum Marinum. When Victoria and Daniel visited, there was almost three thousand people at Forum Marinum waiting for them, I was one of them then.

[Muhler]

To be expected.

I imagine Victoria and Daniel, being next door neighbors and because so many Finns understand Swedish, are the "royal superstars" there.
