An afternoon with Dansk Flygtningehjælp

5 September 2010

As patron, crown princess Mary visited the Danish Refugee Council's new project "Viborg 2010 - Verdens Flygtninge" in Viborg. It was to be an afternoon and evening filled with different activities.

Mary was accompanied by Caroline Heering who acted as lady-in-waiting. They arrived at 14:00.

First Mary & Caroline were dropped off at the Bjergsnæs school of Viborg where students had been living a simulated experience of conditions in a refugee camp.

Mary wore a new wrap blouse by Malene Birger. She was at the start of the 5th month of her pregnancy, expecting twins.

An hour later the crown princess had a meeting with a Congolese refugee family & their Danish contact family.

At 16:00 Mary opened a charity auction at art gallery Brænderigården.

At 18:00 Mary and her team had a private dinner.

At 18:55 Mary had changed and arrived at Viborg Theater to attend a gala event with performances.

At the time of her wedding, the town of Viborg had gifted a 50.000 DKR (€ 6.700) cheque for the crown prince couple to spend in Viborg shops. This was of course unlikely to happen. Mary anounced that they were giving back the cheque to Viborg, for them to invest in their refugee projects.
