Wouldn't it be the Second Gentleman? The First Gentleman in the country is the King.

If the wife of the male prime minister is called the First Lady, the husband of the female prime minister would be the First Gentleman. Just like here in the United States, the VP's husband is the Second Gentleman. Because when the VP is male, his wife is the Second Lady.

But the wife of a prime minister isn't referred to as a First Lady. Because in either a presidential or monarchical system, the PM is the second person in the country, after the President or monarch. So the PM's wife would be the Second Lady, because the PM ranks second in terms of precedence.
 
Let us please move on and concentrate on Queen Mary's current events again. Thank you!

Kort før besøg i Jylland: Dronning Mary takker spontant ja til at opfylde stor drøm

Dronning Mary har indlagt et ekstra besøg i sin kalender fredag.
www.billedbladet.dk www.billedbladet.dk

From the article above:
Queen Mary was only supposed to have participated in Aalborg University's big 50th anniversary celebration on Friday. But not long before the visit, the queen suddenly received an unexpected invitation to also visit the residents at Bostedet Aars, approximately 40 minutes' drive from Aalborg.

They have had a big dream of inviting Denmark's new queen to visit and show off the institution and their home. The visit came about because the Citizens' Council at Bostedet Aars had written to the royal court.

The residence has 41 places and is directed at adults aged 18-85 with severe mental disorders and possibly other social challenges such as anxiety, depression, altered perception of reality, dementia, stress or other psychological difficulties.

So wonderful that Queen Mary paid the center a visit!
 
As you can tell from Queen Mary's posture as she exited the car, the wind bites today. We are still close to freezing most mornings. And in that part of DK that she visited, it's always windy.
 
Thanks @Izzie , I noticed that the visit to the the psychiatric center was added after the University celebration. great that should could visit. She received lots of warm hugs!
Cute video

1. I love her "F" necklace. It's so sweet. I wonder if Frederik wears something with an "M" engraved on it.

2. I think it's wonderful she made a bonus appearance at the psychiatric center. Mental health is something that she's made a focus of her work, not to mention her foundation's work, and I'm sure the people there thought it was beyond amazing that she'd visit. What a memory for those people!
 
This morning, April 22, Queen Mary inaugurated the hiking route in Hannenov Forest on Falster:

It's bitingly cold today.
With the windchill factor the temperature all day was around freezing, even in direct sunlight.

I'm pretty sure that's a Big Hornowl - as we call them in DK. And only a chick, because the adults are pretty big!
We have some in this part of the country and sometimes you hear about people in a suburb being in uproar because some nasty person is taking the local cats.
No, it's the Big Hornowl. A domestic cat is just the right size for such an owl. And as people often let their cats wander freely...
A couple of Big Hornowls can decimate the population of cats in a neighborhood very efficiently. Mis (the equivalent to pussy, yes, also in the other context...) in Danish sneaks around at night, thinking she's a great hunter and never notice the silent shadow coming swooping in.
The Big Hornowl is big!
And the adults are very well camouflaged!
I have actually never seen a Big Hornowl in the wild. I've sometimes heard it but never caught a glimpse of it.

Mary attended the changing of the guard at Fredensborg Castle today, May 3:


When His Majesty the King resides in the Chancellery at Fredensborg Castle, there will in future be a large changing of the guard at 12.00 on Fridays. The parade on Friday will be accompanied by either the Music Corps or the Tambour Corps from the Royal Life Guard, and the parade starts at Fredensborg Station. When the officers from the detachment are replaced, there will be a registration and deregistration with the King in the Chancellery.During the reign of Her Majesty Queen Margrethe, this took place on Thursdays.Yesterday the Royal Couple moved residence to the Chancellery, and thus today was the first time that a Friday parade took place. As the King was prevented from participating, it was Her Majesty the Queen who took care of the day's tasks instead.

Mary look fantastic! Wonderful that she could attend. Yes, Frederik had the engagement at the DTU Commemoration Day that he, I believe, attends every year.
 
As suspected, Mary had an early unannounced meeting today. The reason for her flying back from Norway and not sailing back with the Dannebrog, which would take longer.

"Traveling to Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso and many other countries, Her Majesty The Queen has met people fleeing war, persecution and climate disasters.
Denmark is on the top 10 list of donors to the UN refugee organisation UNHCR, and today Filippo Grandi, the organisation's high commissioner was in Denmark.
On the occasion, the Queen received the High Commissioner, who updated Her Majesty on the United Nations’ challenging work to protect the lives and rights of the world’s refugees, including efforts to improve the conditions of women and girls in humanitarian crises and the importance of climate change on vulnerable communities.
The ambassador of Denmark at the UN mission in Geneva, Ib Petersen, also participated in the meeting."

As suspected, Queen Mary had quite an important meeting today which necessitated her flying back from Norway to Denmark. If not for this meeting, I'm sure she would have traveled home via royal yacht. Simple explanation. And she looks great btw!

Agree. After the Swedish State visit they both flew back because Frederik had an audience with Lithuania's Speaker of the Parliament early the next morning.
Glad this time Frederik can sail back with the Dannebrog and spend time with the crew. Over the years I have read anecdotes from previous crew members and their time with teh DRF.

Thanks! Yea, that Daily Mail thing is only good for the photos. They just continue to show how inept they are otherwise full of misinformation and narrative spinning agenda. Sadly, there are too many that swallow all the DM feeds them and then repeat it as fact on places like twitter and some proceed to drag the Danish royal couple or whichever other royal they decide to "report" on. It is lazy and pure gaslighting click bait. I wish people would use more common sense.

I've noticed a general tendency on DM articles on foreign royals is that the average number of comments have gone down over the past couple of years.
I don't think royalists go to tabloids first to get info on foreign royals and with Google translate becoming so much better, there are better and more correct sources of info out there.
Also, judging from the comments there are, there seem IMO to be an increasing annoyance towards the "dramatic" angles presented in the articles. Angles that are constantly refuted both by foreigners commenting on the articles as well as other sources.
Because let's face it. Most royal events are pretty undramatic and most royal relationships are pretty undramatic as well.

When they report on foreign royals it is usually some type of attempt at deflection or projection...depending which narrative they're trying to spin. Sadly, even with other sources available, some still will believe whatever the DM or other of the like will feed them. Thank goodness some are waking up to the manipulation and misinformation

The Daily Mail in particular seems to be really flogging the dead horse when it comes to Frederik and Mary's marriage. It seems like every other day there are a slew of articles about how they're on the verge of divorce and can't stand each other, complete with body language experts and lip readers to let us know all the ways they're subtly communicating that.

It's obnoxious.

Like I said...deflection and projection. I would not print out the DM to wrap stinky fish in. Fish deserve better.

It is. It's toe-curlingly embarrassing, not least because the number of comments in these articles are low. And those comments there are tend to question the premise of the article. No doubt because it's so easy to find and see photos where they are showing affection. Also in unguarded moments.
Some of us have discussed in PM why DM in particular is so persistent in forwarding this angle. I cannot and will not post these thoughts here as they are in violation of TRF rules. Suffice to say it's counter-productive.

And with that, let's leave DM where it belongs...
