I think 5 threads for this visit will probably be 4 too many:-) Of course I could be wrong, but I don't think there will be much coverage from the Danish media. There usually isn't with the UN stuff. And with the trip to Boston and Washington later this month, it's also possible that BB will wait until then to join them. An event that may be covered by the Danish TV stations based in New York, though, is the Claus Meyers Nordic market the last day. That has the feel good Dane trying to get success in the big world narrative that could have some potential at home:-)

 

Wonder if Mary will stay in the US? She should! Let her hair down for a few days, go a little crazy, maybe get a little tipsy:-) She doesn't do that much:-)

I don't think that will be possible - CPM "letting her hair down for a few days, going a little crazy, maybe getting a little tipsy", that is - what with her having an engagement the very next day after attending UNGA-related events, in Denmark, on the, 22nd of September:

I so agree.  Do that, Mary.  She really doesn't have the opportunity to do that very often.

Not that she is going to, I'm afraid, commoner, she does have the events in Denmark in between.

:D Indulge me. I think it's worth drawing attention to this work even if there is very little media coverage. I find it so much more interesting than the ribbon cutting events the media does deign to cover well. The twitter accounts of the organizations involved may provide us with interesting details.
