I'm very glad that Mary put focus on such issues as female circumcision and forced marriages.

There has IMO been, certainly in DK recently, an unfortunate tendency to shall we say push these irreversible and completely life changing examples that happens to many millions of girls and women worldwide back, in favor of examples of abuse that are perhaps more relatable to Westeners on a day to day basis.

While all forms of abuse are wrong, that goes without saying, they are not in the same category.

ADDED:

A couple of nice BT photos of Mary today from BT:

Where Mary seems to have misplaced her LiW for a moment.
An attentive observer noted that when Mary took of her coat, she hesitated for a moment, seemingly expecting her LiW to take her coat. (So that Mary could focus on her job.) But there were no LiW around to take the coat, so Mary placed it over a chair. Later on the LiW was back from her walkabout.

The Palace released two photos of Crown Princess Mary today, announcing:

"This afternoon, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess recorded a video that will be shown tomorrow when a very special virtual summit is held on the well-being of young people during COVID-19.

The Minister of Education and Research and the Minister of Culture will be hosting a large number of industries, stakeholders and experts during the summit to develop new ideas for activities and communities for young people":

Lovely photos! Mary is a beautiful woman and she is beaming, she looks happy to be a little back.

Crown Princess Mary was in a bubbling mood when she today in bright sunshine told about today's meeting at Christiansborg and how good it is to finally get a little out of the home office at Amalienborg.

Journalist question: "Crown Princess Mary, is it nice to be let out a bit again instead of sitting in the home office?"

Crown Princess Mary laughs out loud:

" - Yes! It's nice to get out and nice to experience a change of scene and feel the important work that is still going on despite the corona. And feel all the inspiration you get from others who also attended the meeting today. It was really lovely. Thank you very much."

It's great to see the meetings in person opening up again. (slowly and limited of course)

Thanks, all of you. :flowers:

Yes, the climate and sustainability has been put on hold, and even rolled back in the past year, due to Corona. So the festival and Mary's speech is indeed relevant.

The climate was the biggest topic right before the Corona outbreak, and we were on the brink of actually beginning to accomplish something. The politicians and those in power, were under severe pressure to really do something. And a genuine wide public support had been accomplished.
Perhaps it will start up again?

It is, as you may observe, sweltering hot today! 25+ degrees C.

The... ehh... personage with the red jacket and dotted dark dress, who manages to push herself into the photos of Mary, is the Minister for Social Affairs.
I notice she also managed to seat herself right next to Mary, despite the fact that the seat could have been taken by an elderly who would have been delighted sitting next to Mary.
But to Mary's other side sat 77 year old Ulla Møller Nielsen, who told Mary how much it had affected her not being able to be visited by her son during the height of the pandemic. Something that visibly moved Mary.

The Minister, Astrid Krag, was part of a trio of rising politicians named after Daisy Duck's nieces, in Danish named Kylle, Pylle and Rylle. - Most appropriate, methinks. :D
Donald Duck's nephews BTW are named Rip, Rap and Rup in Danish.
 
Loving Mary's comment about how the chocolate needs to be eaten fast :D It's truly unbearable warm outside today.

Given that it was very clearly listed in the DRF's calendar as a joint visit between Mary and the Minister, I'm not sure I think the backhanded comments directed at the latter are either particularly appropriate or relevant.

Well, I do.

There are many joint minister/royal events and most ministers understand to remain in the background.
Some don't.
Usually and obviously in the hope of the positive vibes of a popular royal rubbing off on the minister in question.

- I take a perverted delight in pointing that out, also towards ministers of the opposition, when they are in power.
