Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, arrived yesterday on a two-day working visit. She is being hosted by Crown Princess Mary.
Ahead of a private lunch hosted by Mary at Amalienborg today, she will be received by Queen Margrethe II.
She has already visited a crisis centre where she learned about the Mary Foundation’s work with children.
The British duchess launched her own foundation last year, the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
The perfect pair
Author Line Theils, a former UK correspondent, told DR it makes perfect sense to pair up the duchess and crown princess.
“They have a lot in common. They both come from middle-class families and have found a good place in the royal families they have married into. And both are well liked for the work they do and for doing it well,” she said.
“It might be interesting for Kate to look into how the Danish Royal Family is much more accessible and perhaps more in touch with their subjects, as there is probably a greater distance between the British Royal Family and their people.”
