BB has a picture gallery, Mary looks quite excited to see the little girl. I wonder if they have met before.
Mary looked quite nice but did not like the dress style.

I think the dress would have been nicer in a longer length and a different colour. Not sure about the chocolate on Mary but the rest of her looks radiant!

Aww how sweet, Mary with children is wonderful. I agree the dress i stunning, she looks almost radiant in those pictures.

I love the photos of the little girl with the bouquet! The title of the Billed-Bladet article that Ccile is referring to is "The flower girl didn't want to give the bouquet to Mary". It says that she became very nervous when the Crown Princess approached her. She tried to hide her face in the bouquet.

Crown Princess Mary has given a speech at the session today, September 10 - here's a short summary by the WHO:

Quote:

Her Royal Highness began her address to delegates explaining that she became Patron of WHO/Europe in 2005 because of her “strong belief that health is our most precious possession and its protection and promotion are fundamental to the health and well-being of our societies.”

In addition to her extensive support for immunization and maternal and child health, in 2010 Crown Princess Mary agreed to extend her focus to include the challenge of antimicrobial resistance.

Speaking about this issue she noted, “There is no doubt that we are witnessing an increasing number of bacteria becoming resistant, and thereby are moving towards an era that could resemble the situation before penicillin was discovered – when people died of common bacterial infections. A frightening situation – we risk jeopardizing one of the fundamental achievements that brought huge progress to public health … We all have a role to play: those who set the policy and strategies; those who prescribe; those who use; and those who produce, including industry – a role in keeping antibiotics effective for use by future generations.”

In conclusion, the Crown Princess commended countries for the positive health trends and improvements in the WHO European Region and expressed her wish that this Regional Committee session would renew the commitment of health ministries, governments and societies to work together to improve health.

It seems like Mary later this year will travel to Mozambique?

From her speech:

"Later this year I will be travelling to Mozambique together with the Danish Minister for Development Cooperation and UNFPA to witness the country’s progress and the challenges they are facing in respect to these development goals"
