Queen Mary has managed to move all of Denmark after the statement regarding her current situation was released. Frederik's wife attended two official events of special relevance to the country completely alone. Smiling and very happy, Mary showed interest in the work of two organizations whose role in society is essential.
Once again, Queen Mary displayed the elegance that characterizes her and the role she plays within the Danish Royal Family. She didn't need the king's company to shine and to capture all the attention and the gaze of the public.
Queen Mary reappears in a statement happier than ever
Queen Mary continues with her official agenda without paying attention to the rumors surrounding her marriage. For a year now, there has been speculation about a possible crisis with Frederik, which they try to deny through gestures. However, the latest statement from the Danish Royal House places the queen alone again without Frederik's company.
Last Monday, June 2, Mary was seen alone at two official events she attended with her best smile. In the morning, she went to the non-profit organization called JunkFood, which prevents food waste. This association also fights against social exclusion, so the queen's presence helped give visibility to the volunteers' work.
Later, she visited an association dedicated to supporting people with brain injuries called Brain Case. Queen Mary is very committed to this organization and every year she takes part in their events to support and give visibility to the cause. This time, she was present at a meeting where she showed interest in the work being carried out.
Mary was able to handle herself with complete independence, confirming that she doesn't need the king's support. Only a year has passed since she ascended the throne, but the queen is making an effort to live up to her predecessor. All this is happening amid rumors of crisis, which are heightened by the fact that the king and queen have separate agendas.
Queen Mary alone again at an official event
Recently, the official agenda of Denmark's royals has separated the paths of Queen Mary and Frederik. Their joint appearances are limited to a few official events, with their solo engagements standing out. Mary consolidates her role as an active institutional figure, representing the Danish monarchy with her own agenda that is increasingly filled with individual commitments.
Meanwhile, while Mary was attending to her commitments yesterday, the king was doing the same in Oceankaj, Copenhagen. There, he inaugurated "the largest land-based plant in Europe." This "will allow cruise ships to receive power from land instead of letting their diesel engines run while docked," they explain.
Queen Mary's agenda will continue throughout June before the desired holidays. Next week, she will travel to Paris, where she will take part in scheduled events at the historic Grand Palais. She will also inaugurate an exhibition of Danish-origin tapestries, but made in France.
As a highlight for the country, Mary will visit the Danish Student House, where she will celebrate the centenary of the International Student City. All of this is expected to be carried out by the queen alone, without Frederik's company, who will take on his own institutional responsibilities.
This increase in solo activities reflects the full trust the Royal House places in her, especially after Frederik's ascension to the throne. The queen proves to be a key figure in projecting a modern and approachable image of the institution both nationally and internationally. Her trips outside Denmark, such as the one she will make to Paris next week, confirm this.
