On June 10, 2026, Queen Mary of Denmark received French activist Gisèle Pelicot at the Chancellery House in Fredensborg. During their meeting, they discussed, among other topics, Gisèle Pelicot’s international bestselling autobiography, A Tribute to Life, how she lives her life today, and how she has managed to use her platform to benefit others.
Gisèle Pelicot is a French woman who became a feminist icon in 2024 when she waived her right to anonymity as the victim in a multiple rape case. She was appointed a Knight of the Legion of Honour on Bastille Day. In February 2026, she published a co-written memoir. On 20 February 2026, Gisèle launched the English edition of her memoir at an event at the Royal Festival Hall. Three days later, she was invited to tea with Queen Camilla.
Très frais ce modèle de robe-chemise en coton rayé mais je me serais abstenu de porter cette ceinture camel !
ReplyDeleteWe are all impressed by Gisèle Pelicot!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful visit. Queen Mary looks lovely in this dress, I feel it was a good choice for this visit.
ReplyDeleteGisele Pelicot is such a brave woman! One can only admire her strength!
ReplyDeleteYes, I heard about her experience. It was horrific. She is a very courageous woman who is now helping others.
DeleteWhy should a woman be shamed for she has been druged and rapid?
ReplyDelete10:51 is that a genuine question - or a comment? Shame is such a difficult emotion but we rarely have control over it; if we feel it, it frequently takes a lot of time to work through it. It tends to be spontaneous and natural when things happen to us that feel so bad we can’t talk about them. Gisele is an example of someone who overcame her shame to speak about it and get the blame laid in the right place.
DeleteNothing says summer like seersucker, you look so cool Queen Mary, literally!
ReplyDeleteI like this dress for a casual look and I also like it with a belt. I think it gives it better definition.
ReplyDeleteI like Mary's dress and it suits her well. I have much admiration for Gisèle Pelicot and her bravery. It's a lovely, relaxed setting for both women to have this discussion too.
ReplyDeleteDet bedste er at hylde og støtte Gisèle Pelicot!!!
ReplyDeleteThank God, not every husband is like Gisèle's!
