THE MAGASIN DU NORD FASHION PRIZE 2019

5th November

The Crown Princess had already visited Høng Boarding School, here, but in the evening she was on the road again. For at least five years Crown Princess has attended the presentation of the Magasin du Nord Fashion Prize. This year the award show took place at Charlottenborg in Copenhagen.

The Honorary Award was first handed over in 2012 by the Magasin du Nord Fondation and has become one of the most important in fashion awards given in Denmark. With the award the foundations aim to find and promote future Danish fashion designers especially with focus on how sustainable each nominee are in their production.

Before handing over the prize all nominees posed for a picture along with the Crown Princess. But the overall winner of the Magasin du Nord Fashion Prize 2019 was Carcel, here. A brand that hires imprisoned women in both Thailand and Peru. These women are employed to produce the Carcel clothing. Carcel's mentality is that this initiative will secure fair wages and help the women to learn new skills and by that break with poverty.

Veronica D'Souza received the prize as one of the founders of Carcel. With the prize also follows a mentor program where members of the jury are there to help strengthen the brand. This is a new initiative that follows the winners. All the best wishes and congratulations to Carcel with the prestiges prize.

VISITING 'HØNG EFTERSKOLE'

5th November

It was with a great smile on her face when Crown Princess Mary arrived to Høng Efterskole. She payed a visit to the boarding school along with the Mary Foundation. Also health and wellness expert, Chris MacDonald accompanied her. The visit was all about a launching a brand new project focusing on strengthen young people's social skills that should help more young people to combat failure to thrive.

The project is made in collaboration between both the Mary Foundation, Chris MacDonald's non-profit organization, the Tuborg Foundation and The Boarding School Foundation. So right now three boarding school works with the new project. In other words, they are testing the project to find what's good about it and what maybe needs to change. Testing the project includes for the young people to do a series of different exercises about both friendship, understanding oneself and others, etc.

Initially Crown Princess Mary gave a speech talking about how important it is that we all contribute for everybody to feel better socially. For instance she also mentioned that we are all able to find something that connects us no matter how we feel or how we look. Equivalent as always. This is among other things what the Mary Foundation wrote about her visit in their post on Facebook - found below.

THE ANNUAL HUBERTUS HUNT IN DYREHAVEN 2019

3rd November

For quiet some years now the Crown Princess and her children have attended the annual Hubertus Hunt in Dyrehaven surrounding the small hunting castle - the Eremitage Castle. This year she watched the hunt with her two children, Prince Christian and Princess Josephine. The three of them had, what looks like, a splendid day in the Danish autumn weather. They enjoyed the hunt from the balcony at the Eremitage Castle which gave them a great view of all the horses, riders and people who had come to Durehaven to follow the ride.

The Hubertus Hunt has, with only a few exceptions, been an annual event since 1900. Originally, dogs were suppose to hunt down foxes. Today the foxes are no longer hunted down by dogs and their riders. Instead two riders acts as foxes. On the hunt, the riders have to cope with more than 30 challenges throughout the 11 kilometers hunt.

This year Crown Princess handed over, for the first time, Crown Princess Mary's Prize of Honor. The Prize were given to the farstest riders on pony, Caroline Nielsen, and horse, Signe Kongebro. Prince Christian and Princess Josephine helped their mother handing over the two prizes. Originally the prize "belonged" to Queen Ingrid, then Prince Henrik handed over the prize in his own name and now Crown Princess Mary is the one to present the prize at the annual event in Dyrehaven.

Crown Princess Mary shared her own photos from the Hubertus Hunt with the children in focus, here.
