We all know about Royal Run - one way we celebrated Crown Prince Frederik when he turned 50 a couple of years ago. People all over Denmark were gathered to run along with the Crown Prince family. It being a huge success, it was decided to gather people once more at Royal Run 3.0 this year on June 1st. Today, the family announced that the date has changed to September 6th in Denmark given to the current situation with COVID-19, which is also affecting the Danes. The date is August 30th in Greenland.
Crown Prince Frederik, Crown Princess Mary and all four children shared these news on social media with a photo. The also encourage people - old and young - to keep up the spirit, take care about yourselves and each other.

Lately, DR (Denmarks Radio) has broadcasted morning songs with Peter Faber, who is the conductor of the Girls Choir. The little seance is broadcasted live from Peter Faber's very own living room. Each day new songs are chosen by different people. With Crown Princess Mary as patron of the Girls Choir, it is obvious for her to pick a song. And she did. Choosing the song "Solen er så rød mor" (The Sun is so Red, Mother) - a lullaby, she told Peter Faber about her choice by writing him a letter. The letter tells, among others, that this specific lullaby is dearly loved by the family, here.

It is commonly known that Crown Princess Mary and the rest of the Mary Fondation meet once a week to discuss this and that. Once and in a while, we get a glimpse of how such as meeting takes place. Because of the current situation with COVID-19 that weekly meeting is now virtual. The Crown Princess captured that meeting with a photo and shared it on social media. The best photo we have seen of her for a very long time. I really adore her natural look and how relaxed she looks.
