Princess Mary has put a smile on the faces of sick children during her latest royal outing. The Danish royal donned a pink jumper and a red nose as she joined the hospital clowns to entertain the ward, even reading them a bedtime story.
“The admitted children at Herlev Hospital received a “goodnight visit” last night by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess and the hospital clowns Sally and Viola 🤹 💫,” a statement read on the office Danish royal Instagram.
“With a goodnight story, magic dust and balloon animals the children were safely sent off to dreamland by Kronpri the ness and the clowns.”
Mary read the children a bedtime story.

The visit comes after Mary and her daughter Princess Josephine attended the annual Hubertus Hunt at The Woodland Park Dyrehaven in Klampenborg, Denmark.
The Australian-born sported beige checkered trousers accompanied by two puffer jackets, cream gloves and a blue hat. Josephine, 11, wore a matching jacket, paired with denim jeans and a green scarf. While her mother’s hair cascaded over her shoulders, the 11-year-old tied her locks back into a smart pony-tail.

The event has been occurring since 1900 as a continuation of a 17th century practice which saw riders chase a fox through the Dyrehaven, which was once reserved for royalty.
The park is 1,100 hectares and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
