She also talked to cameras after leaving the church and boiled down she said that the war in Ukraine did affect her and her family and that they talked about it within the family, explaining to the children that there are also organizations that try to help, like DanChurchAid.
Without wanting to go into details she confirmed that Joachim has been more busy lately in his function as military attache.

I haven't yet found a direct video link to post here.

That's the one. Thanks.

Our Marie talked quite a bit, without saying too much. And she tried to direct focus back on DanChurchAid.
That's good PR-work IMO.

Thanks for these posts, it's sobering these days to be reminded that other countries have and have had their problems with war as well.

By area Cambodia is the most bombed country in the world. That happened during the Vietnam War.
Then Pol Pot took over at murdered IIRC a quarter of the population in some insane Maoist interpretation of going to basics.
Until Vietnam invaded and ousted Pol Pot.

Landmines is a huge problem in Cambodia! With people, as well as wildlife and domesticated animals falling victims to mines, and still do now 40 years later.

Perhaps more royals should adopt the approach of serving bugs to journalists?

Now, how are you going to cover this trip? BTW I'm considering cooking some local delicacies for you journalists tonight...


Anyway, our man in Cambodia, the Ulrik Ulriksen, seems to have genuinely enjoyed the grasshoppers.

On her final day today, April 7, Marie visited DanChurchAid's partner Voices for Gender Equality.
