Danmarks Indsamling is an annual event with the cause of gathering money that goes to developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latinamerica. Each year, money are collected to help people around the world in some of the most pour countries. The project is a collaboration between Denmarks Radio and our 12 largest humanitarian organizations. Year year the money goes to a different cause. This year, it is all about supporting children affected by the widespred pandemic. Over 20 million Danish Kroner were gathered last night and they will be transformed into projects. These projects will give children in the world's poortest countries access to clean water, medical care and a possibility to go to school.
Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik's foundation donated 800,000 Danish Kroner to Danmarks Indsamling along with Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary's Foundation.
Danmarks Indsamling is also a big show. Usually broadcasted live. During the show, people can call a number and donate money to the good cause. Several well-known Danish celebrities then pick up the phone and receive the money. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary have also visited the show a few times, but this year we had to do without the royal visit - almost. Because, Crown Princess Mary had given an interview earlier this week which was later broadcasted in last nights show.
A couple of days ago, when she was interviewed by one of the shows hosts Mark Stokholm, the Crown Princess posted a photo and a few words on social media. She shared her concern for those children who have to live without going to school at the moment. For or many children in poor countries that means an everyday with more uncertainty, a higher risk of violence, children marriages and the lack of food. A decline in poverty over the last 20 years is unfortunately on the rise again. It's worrying. This is what the Crown Princess talked about in her interview - consequences. Those fatale consequences COVID-19 is causing all of us. Especially, children.
In her interview, Mary was wearing a simple and business-like outfit. A professional look that does not scream for attention. Her message does. She embraced the style with her rather new green Massimo Dutti blazer, which comes with a matching pair of trousers. For the interview she had chosen something else. Simple black trousers. A great match to the blazer and the black knitted turtleneck. Perfect for the occasion. Don't you think so?
Mary matched her outfit with old Louise Grønlykke earrings. They go back to 2014 and has been worn for quite a few important events. At the opening of a new Christmas Seal Home in 2018, here. Also when she visited Ethiopia in 2015, here and at a visit to South Africa in 2014, here. Her bracelet and ring are both created by Dulong Fine Jewelry. The pointed black ankle boots are from Gianvito Rossi.

ReplyDeleteNo, of course they are not wide-legged. My mistake. When writing the post, I had the wrong outfit in mind.
DeleteThanks for making my aware of this mistake :)
