Thanks for the pics.
I love Mary's dress and see that it is green in the arrival photos I thought it was either black or blue.
that is strange especially considering that during the state visit just last year to Sweden The King was awarded the order of the state of the republic of turkey

Presidency Of The Republic Of Turkey : The Presidential Couple Host Reception in Honor of the Royal Couple
thanks Muhler
Such a shame, nothing on Frederik's events with the Turkish president?
I wonder why they decided to change it up and host it at Amalienborg
Denmark do have crisis centres for men, MuhlerIt's also interesting that while there are crisis centres in every city and town worth mentioning there are as far as I know, no such refuges for men. Because while men can usually physically beat up a woman if need be, men are perhaps more vulnerable to psycological abuse, so where do they go? Especially as men who are being abused by a women within a relationship are still considered as being somewhat ridiculous.
Another matter is that domestic abuse also takes place within homoseksual relationships. That is something new to deal with as it has only been common for homoseksual couples to live together openly, let alone marry, within the past twenty years or so. Where do the men in these relationships go?

- It's an interesting fact that the majority of women seeking shelter at such centres are now first and second generation immigrants. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing. I prefer to think it's a good thing. I.e. that the women have learned that they can find a refuge and help and that they don't have to put up with abuse, which is more often than not hushed down by their immediate family.
