New event for Mary:
22 May Global Fashion Summit
New events for Frederik on 21, 22, 23, 24 May
-
For me Mary is the magnet in every picture, she doesn't "disappear" at all. It's an "old" dress but since sustainability is one of the focus areas of this visit, I'm fine with it. Mary looks very elegant, whereas the Swedish ladies all look rather frumpy IMO.
I agree that the shawl was not such a good idea for Scandinavian sea weather,

BB article: Det var slet ikke planen
QuoteTranslation
...And then something happened that was not planned at all. ...
Suddenly, among the spectators in the forest, the queen spotted a woman with a very rare bird on her shoulder.
Mary asked if she could have a closer look at the bird, a so-called white-masked dwarf horned owl.
Jette Jørgensen, who had the owl on her shoulder, then gave Mary a special glove on her left hand. After this, the queen was able to have the dwarf horned owl on her hand, and Mary, after Jette's OK, took the opportunity to gently touch the horned owl Silje's soft chest.....it was an experience Mary seemed to enjoy.

BB article: Danskerne kan ikke faa nok
QuoteTranslation
Danes can't get enough of King Frederik: The numbers are exploding
The Amalienborg Museum has already had historically many visitors in the exhibition "Frederik 10. – King of tomorrow", where you get very close to Denmark's new king.
...
- It's crazy! In terms of numbers, we have gone directly from low season to high season in a single day already on the opening day of the exhibition. And it has continued over Easter. Where we normally have about 300 guests a day, there have been 1200-1400 guests daily. There is no doubt that the change of throne has had an enormous impact on the increased interest in the monarchy and King Frederik. In the exhibition you can get very close to the king's private objects, and then we also experience that many visitors spend time listening to King Frederik's speeches, which are shown on the big screen in the exhibition, in their full length, Nanna Ebert explains.

BB article: Efter tragisk hændelse: Dronning Mary måtte ændre sin tale i sidste øjeblik
QuoteTranslation
After tragic incident: Queen Mary had to change her speech at the last minute
....
It was supposed to be a festive day, but a tragic incident cast sad shadows over the solemn event. On the night of Wednesday, a female Home Guard soldier dropped dead while standing guard at the tents in Churchill Park in Copenhagen, where the celebration of the Home Guard's 75th anniversary was to be held.
According to preliminary information from the Home Guard, she died of cardiac arrest.
Due to the tragic death, a minute's silence was held for the deceased woman following Queen Mary's arrival.

Why do they no longer announce in the calendar who is Regent/Rigsforstander? But only confirm it to the media when asked. I think it's a bad decision because it's intransparent and smells of secrecy.

"On the occasion that the Pantomime Theatre has existed in Tivoli for 150 years this year, special focus is placed on the ballet in the amusement garden. Among other things, there will be guest performances with Hamburg Ballet, John Neumeier and New York City Ballet in Tivoli's Concert Hall. In addition, it can now be revealed that Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale about Brick-Hans will be made as a new ballet at the Pantomime Theatre. The award-winning choreographer and soloist at the Royal Danish Ballet Tobias Praetorius is behind the choreography. The music is written by composer, conductor and TV host Philip Faber, and Queen Margrethe makes scenography and costumes."
"Klods Hans" will premiere on June 22, 2024 and can be experienced on selected days until August 25.

The Norwegian royals are much more likeable than the Swedish IMO, King Harald and Queen Sonja in particular. And there seems to be real friendship, not just "we are related and sitting in the same boat".
