Princess Marie and Co. Visit The Danish Emergency Management Agency

princess marie visits dema

HRH Princess Marie of Denmark has paid a visit today to the Danish Emergency Management Agency. Her visit included a tour and demonstration of the agency’s equipment and procedures.

The princess has a keen interest in DEMA’s disaster preparedness, and decided to bring her boys along – Prince Joachim included – to tour the facilities. In October 2012, the princess was trained in first aid, fire fighting, rescue, and team work during an Emergency Services campaign at the Tønder Grundskole school. Photos of Marie showed a large bruise on her face, but thankfully it was only makeup as the princess took part in the practical training.

This time it was a family affair, and Marie’s little son Henrik joined his parents and brothers Nikolai and Felix as they watched demonstrations of equipment and vehicles. The royal group donned hard hats and goggles and even lent a hand during some techniques.

I rule.

Over at The Royal Educational Society, I’ve added a new section on family trees. I’ve had this bunch of trees in the works for over a year, trying to sort out who is where. It’s a fun past time and I wanted to share the results.
