As patron of DanChurchAid, Princess Marie of Denmark is making a five-day visit to Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh. On the first day of her visit to Cambodia, the Princess paid a visit to Killing Fields outside Phnom Penh, where she laid a wreath in honor of the victims of the Khmer Rouge genocide.
DanChurchAid has been working in Cambodia since 1979, when the organization initially focused on supporting the refugees in the wake of the country's decades-long civil war. Princess Marie's trip to Cambodia marks DanChurchAid's 100th anniversary in 2022.
Since 1997, DanChurchAid has had an office in Phnom Penh, where the organization, together with 20 local partners, implements 31 projects across the country. Princess Marie wore a new printed midi dress by Zara.
Simply stunning!
ReplyDeleteNice dress
ReplyDeleteLovely dress; PM's appropriately dressed to visit this horrible place near Phnom Penh. However, when laying a wreath and contemplating, I would make sure my sunglasses were out of sight.

Joli modèle imprimé bien porté par Marie même s'il serait mieux un peu moins long ; aussi, je pense que son look serait amélioré par des sandales compensées !
ReplyDeleteThe ZARA frock is a good and practical choice for a visit to Cambodia at this time of the year. Average daytime temperatures are around 35° C - 95F.
ReplyDeleteFor comfort, loose fitting, free flowing are the order of the day (and bright colours ) to fit in with the atmosphere of the country. I think Princess Marie has got it right here.
Beautiful dress - print, colour and style. Perfect for a warm climate, and Marie wears it well. She looks lovely.

I agree. A perfect choice.
DeleteAnother pretty look for Marie. The pattern and color of the dress is pretty but perhaps it could be a touch shorter? She is quite petite.
ReplyDeleteHope Princess Marie has some free shopping time during her stay to buy up on some of the magnificent and colourful silk fabrics that are woven in this country.

I love the initial necklace bearing her sons initials.
ReplyDeleteI love the initial necklace bearing the initials of her son and daughter.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely dress, cool and subtle, appropriate for this event. I do love her choice of jewellery
ReplyDeleteNice and simple dress, but the shoes are clumsy, sandals or ballarinas would have fit better. And PM also changed to sneakers and a short dress, when she later visited a school project for children.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures seen on another website.

Nice dress but a little too long to be perfect. We
