On Wednesday, Princess Marie, Count Henrik, and Countess Athena officially opened the Tønder Festival. Princess Marie is Patron of the Festival since 2009 and the Festival is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The family toured the festival and met with artists and volunteers.

In her opening speech, Princess Marie said: “Tønder has good reason to be proud of its festival. A festival that, with its unique musicians and very special atmosphere, has become a unifying force, where music builds bridges and creates memories that reach far beyond Tønder's borders. With a heart full of gratitude for all those who have contributed over the years, I wish you all the best on this golden anniversary.  Let's celebrate the next 50 years with the same enthusiasm and dedication.”

Princess Marie wore an ONLY coat with her Charlotte Sparre blouse, jeans, and her LK Bennett wedges. She paired the outfit with her Mauboussin earrings and her Rolex watch.
