Stepping out with a rainbow umbrella to support the LGBTQ community, the Tasmanian-born royal joined Lars Henriksen, the representative for Copenhagen Pride for the second day of festivities.

Sharing an image of the royal delivering her moving speech and sharing a message of hope on Instagram, the Danish royal family said: “Human rights, love and world goals were in focus when Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess gave the opening speech at the Copenhagen 2021 Human Rights Forum in the UN city of Copenhagen on Monday afternoon.

“Copenhagen 2021 is the common name for the LGBTI + events WorldPride and EuroGames, which take place in Copenhagen on 12-22 August.

“The purpose of the Human Rights Forum is to put human rights and inclusion in relation to LGBTI + people on the agenda.”

Reacting to the post, one person commented: “Thank you very much Royal Crown Princess Mary of Denmark for your attendance today and yesterday.

“Your opening speeches were very inspirational.”

Another commented: “Proud to call you my crown princess!

A third said: “She is amazing!”

One more added: “Very well done by our Crown Princess Mary”.

The event allows politicians, academics, media and pride organisers to work together to tackle problems facing the LGBTQ+ community.

The event took place over three days and included topics of discussion on education, culture, sexual wellbeing and health.

The post continued: “In connection with the human rights conference, Her Royal Highness attended a number of panel debates with the participation of both activists and senior representatives of international organisations.⁣”

Princess Mary is patron of Copenhagen 2021 as well as the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and has supported LGBTQ rights for years.

In 2016, on the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, Mary gave a speech on LGBT rights calling for an end to LGBT discrimination.

Denmark was the first country in the world to grant legal recognition to same-sex unions for registered partnerships in 1989.

Mary is married to Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark, and the couple share children Prince Christian, 15, Princess Isabella, 14, Prince Vincent, 10, and 10-year-old Princess Josephine.

Last month Mary was made a regent by her mother-in-law, Queen Margrethe II.

The new title means the Crown Princess can act as head of state when Queen Margarethe is busy.

Queen Margrethe II aged 81, has served as Queen of Denmark since 1972.

She was married to Henrik, Prince Consort of Denmark, from 1967 until his death in 2018.
