Thanks for the pics.
I don't understand the caption in TV2's gallery either. As far as I could see the pic of Christian and Isabella was from Amalienborg. So I guess it's a mistake.
Why should they take small children along to a rehabillitation centre of all places?
Summary based on the BT article:
Højgravid Mary besøgte sårede soldater - Heavily pregnant Mary visited wounded soldiers.
Written by Katja Maria Salomonsen.
Frederik and Mary along with some officers visited the rehabillitation centre at Rigshospitalet for wounded soldiers. Rigshospitalet, where incidentally Mary will give birth, is the place where wounded soldiers are brought in and undergo treatment.
The main threat to soldiers in Afghanistan is IED's = Improvised Explosive Devices and the horrific injuries seen in the galleries is a testament to the effectiveness of these weapons.
The idea with opening a centre specifically for soldiers is due to the psycological healing of the soldiers but primarily because experience has shown that the presence of other soldiers helps maintaining morale and speed up the recovery process.
Soldiers who are more or less invalided are offered a contract with the military for life. I.e. until the age of normal retirement.
Mary spoke a long time with a soldier who had lost his left leg, presumably he was telling her his story.
Frederik said about what had made the greatest impression on him: "To see the courage from those young men, the soldiers her, who has been so severely stricken, but who have the will and who has been given some even better means to recover again, both physically but also in regards to the quality of life. It's pretty important that those two things go along". Mary nodded in agreement.
How about Peter Heering, a reporter asked. He is a lieutenant colonel of the reserves and is currently serving in Afghanistan. He is married to Mary's LiW, Caroline Heering.
Frederik replied: "You do realise, with all that is going on right here, that there naturally is a risk for everyone".
Peter Heering is such a high ranking officer, that the probabillity for him to become a casualty is relatively low.
