THE ELITEFORSK AWARDS 2020

27th February

Finally, she is back for a few days again. We are missing her and the rest of the family, right? The reason for Crown Princess Mary being in Denmark these days is to attend the annual presentation of the EliteForsk Awards and travel grants 2020.

The award show goes back to 2007 with purpose to create attention about research in Denmark. EliteForsk Awards are given by the Danish Ministry of Education and Research. This year the presentation took place in the Opera, center of Copenhagen and the Crown Princess was welcomed by Minister of Education and Research, Ane Halsboe-Jørgensen.

It was with a big smile on her face that she entered the stage and gave a speech followed by a presentation of this years five winners: Professor Sine Reker Hadrup, Professor Mads Meier Jæger, Professor Anders Møller, Professor Tobias Richter and Professor Riikka Rinnan. Congratulations to each one of them with the prestigious gratuity it is to win an EliteForsk Award. What a pleasure it must be to be congratulated by the Crown Princess on such an important day of one's life. I wouldn't mind having that experience to tell my grandchildren.

Crown Princess Mary also handed over 18 travel grants from the Ministry of Education and Research to several talented researchers and students of the field.

GRACE IN VERBIER

The Crown Prince family is stil enjoying life in Verbier. Little has been published or told about their everyday, but now we have got a little insight in what it is like to be a royal dog in Switzerland. The royal court and Crown Princess Mary shared five new photos on Instagram with caption: "A greeting from Switzerland where Grace enjoys life in the mountains and snow". Looks like everyone are having fun - including the Crown Princess and her youngest son, Prince Vincent.

A BIRTHDAY GIRL ON HER 48TH BIRTHDAY


Many years has passed by since we have seen a new photo of Mary on occasion of her birthday. That happened this year. The court published a new photo of her taken by Daniel Stjerne. My guess is that it was taken in November 2018, here. Around the time when she become new patron of DR's Girls Choir and new official photos were taken. Now we have one more moment from the day - a really lovely photo of beautiful woman wearing her aquamarine blue diamond earrings, an Orit Elhanati necklace and that navy blue creation from Issa London. Congratulation to Crown Princess Mary from all of us.

THE WOMEN'S BOARD AWARD 2020

31st January

For quite a few year now Crown Princess Mary has attended the presentation of a very special and unique award: the Women's Board Award. It is given to the most talented female board member of the year. With the award...... This year, the event was themed "Sustainable Leadership".

She arrived in a really splendid mood. I wonder if she is happy to be back on duty? Well, I imagine she has enough to handle with everything, while staying in Verbier with the rest of the family. Nevertheless, the Crown Princess was warmly welcomed with lots of smiles, handshakes and of course a bouquet of flowers.

The Crown Princess handed over the award since 2015 and knew very well, what was suppose to happen. She entered the stage and gave a few words on occasion of the presentation. At the same time she announced that board member of FLSmidth, Finansiel Stabilitet, Bavarian Nordic and TopDanmark, Anne Louise Eberhard is this years recipient. Congratulations to Anne Louise Eberhard with receiving this prestigious award. She was given the award because of her holistic way of working out long-term strategies for the various companies.
