Summary of article in Billed Bladet #35, 2012.
Elsker mad og music - Love food and music.
Written by Trine Larsen.

Our Marie attended the opening of Copenhagen Cooking, a ten day long food festival taking place in the Black Diamond = the National Library.
Here she was recieved by the mayor of Copenhagen, Frank Jensen, who was also to present the prizes.
One of them to chef Rene Redzepi, who arrived in the last moment on bicycle and short of breath. Got the prize and rushed off again. Apparantly a very busy man. He did however have time to say hello to Marie, before rushing out of the door.
But la charmant Marie had a belle time anyway, she was to sample all sorts of dishes. One of the dishes that got particular attention, contained ants.
These ants are bred here in DK, and in the news some time ago we, the spellbound viewers, got to see how the "ant-breeder" went out in his garden and sucked whatever number of ants that been ordered up through a hose. - I felt I should mention this, in case anyone should like to change profession.
Marie declined the ants and she told afterwards that she loves food: "And I'm also very fond of cooking". (*)

(*) Welcome to the club, Marie.

That may also explain why she feels she's in need of a personal coach.

BT has some more on the new protection: http://www.bt.dk/royale/prinsesse-ma...fter-svigermor

La Fondation Danoise can house 49 students, who attend Cité internationale Universitaire de Paris.
And they are pretty delighted with our Marie taking over: "It has been of invaluable significanse for the Danish Students House in Paris that the DRF through many years have had such a big interest for the institution. We are grateful for Her Majesty the Queen's work and (we) are now looking forward to the upcoming co-operation with Her Royal Highness Princess Marie".

It's not only for Danish students, Prince Henrik stayed there in his youth while studying in Paris and he said at a previous occasion: "When I was studying I lived there for three years. By donating I hope to ensure that Danish students will have better conditions, so that their stay, will both benefit them personally and establish contacts between France and Denmark".

Nice to see Marie getting one of the Queen patronages. I wonder what else she will be getting. Is this the second or 3rd education patronage she is for?

ricarda · #28 05-10-2013, 04:20 AM

I saw on DRF website that Marie has become patron of Copenhagen Cooking. It's her 10th patronage.

Thanks for the pictures. Its a great visit especially that its outside of Denmark. Usually she doesn't get to much solo events abroad even though it was short.

The DEMA site (Civil Defence) has some more details about our Marie's visit to Bruxelles: Prinsesse Marie besøger EU og NATO
That includes 8 pics.

EU has opened a common European Emergency Response Centre on 15th May, simply to better co-ordinate and organise relief on a larger scale thus making any emergency assistance from Europe more efficient and this is what Marie visited and saw.

Her guide was the EU-commissar for Humanitarian Aid, Kristalina Georgieva. Present to inform the Princess was also the manager for Relief and Civil Protection under the general secretariat of the European Commission, Claus Haugaard Sørensen. - That's the gentleman with the glasses seen in a couple of the pics.

As an ever increasing number of the areas that need relief is due to clima channges Marie also met the Commissar for the Environment, the very competent Connie Hedegaard.
Over a lunch Marie was thoroughly briefed about the problems which is the cause of the events that needs attention from the emegency centre. And she also met a number of Danes working at EU.

Later on she went to the NATO HQ, where she met the General Secretary, Anders Fogh.
He briefed her in how NATO aids EU in providing emergency relief.

The visit ended with a reception at the Danish EU ambassador, Jeppe Tranholm Mikkelsen, before she returned home late in the evening.

- Well, pretty dry stuff and not much glamour, but nevertheless essential.

Good for Marie. I guess Henrik is slowing down a bit more.

carlota · #38 11-23-2013, 12:26 PM

i'm happy marie is taking on new roles. it seems to me that she's the number one person for taking henrik's ex-patronages, as she's been assigned as the new patron for several of his old ones.

Kit · #39 11-23-2013, 01:45 PM

I think it's great that Marie is taking two of Henrik's former patronages. Good news.

So far Marie had only been assigned for 1 of Henrik's old patronages (now there are all together 3), Frederik for 4, Joachim for 2 or 3 and Mary for 1. So that hardly makes Marie "the number one person for taking Henrik's ex-patronages". But I can imagine a few more of his patronages becoming hers, also some of Benedikte's perhaps.
