Mary said the baby had been very good to her mother. She breastfeeds the baby. Christian had been very brotherly with her and had showed some boyish love. The birth went well but it's never easy. They didn't know beforehand it would be a girl. Christian calls his sister "baby" and for the time being Mary & Frederik call her " lille pige", or little girl.

Mary also hinted the couple wanted more children in the years to come. 

In the lobby and outside the hospital about 2.000 Danes were waiting to catch a glimpse of the new princess.

When they arrived at Kancellihuset in Fredensborg, some more photos were made with Christian.

Although Mary would only resume her official activities 4 months later, pictures of her would regularly appear in the press in the months to come: paparazzi shots of private activities with family and friends, and official photos of the new princess kept the public "up to date".

In her speech about Mrs Ørgaard and Mælkebøtte - a shelter for the children of alcoholics - in Nuuk, Mary said: "One of the first plants I got to know in my new homeland, was the mælkebøtte ("dandelion"). It was everywhere. Pretty, wonderful and capable of surviving even in the most deserted and rough places. The same goes for "Mælkebøtten" in Nuuk. But without Kirsten "Mælkebøtte" woudn't have been able to take root in Nuuk".

Mary wore a new coat by Malene Birger, that would also be worn 7 years later by the duchess of Cambridge, pregnant with George Windsor.

This was Mary's last event before leaving with Christian for a two week holiday in Australia. Frederik had already left.
