"But after the royal couple have eaten lunch with King Salman earlier today, we have now been informed by the Foreign Ministry that Mary instead eats dinner with the sisters. So it is obviously an idea that has arisen during lunch, "he said." https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=da&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bt.dk%2Fudland%2Fhar-gjort-stort-indtryk-i-oerkenstaten-nu-skal-mary-til-middag-med-de-saudiske-prin&edit-text= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

commoner Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 The controversy of the visit has certainly caught the DK medias interest, even Ekstra Bladet and BT have tagged along this time:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad Mary is standing next to Frederik and not somewhere behind, like Michelle Obama did in a pic I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mls Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Does anyone else think Mary's smile has been brighter and warmer...? http://www.billedbladet.dk/sites/billedbladet.dk/files/styles/landscape_16-9_8grid/public/media-qbrick/BF0139637485F4B1.jpg?itok=NCV40fk0 This must really be a "grind your teeth and do your duty" trip BT: Embarrassing Saudi situation: men refused to shake hands with Mary https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=da&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bt.dk%2Fpolitik%2Fpinlig-saudi-situation-maend-naegtede-at-give-haand-til-mary&edit-text= "Only one in four of the many men who passed by to greet the royal couple, shook hands with the Crown Princess, and all shook hands with the Crown Prince." Some of the men who didn't shake her hand did greet/acknowledge her in some way but there were those who didn't even look at her. That I find incredibly rude. She is a member of the official delegation, the Crown Princess of the Kingdom of Denmark and to not even do a slight nod is very unfortunate.What if it had been Queen Margrethe? Would she also have been ignored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riki Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 How do you know they didn't even look at her? We can only see the back of their heads. We cannot see whether they look or even smile at her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cannot see whether they look or even smile at her. I haven't made an assumption based on these few photos. I read posts by Danes who have watched a report/video from TV2 news yesterday.
