Princess Mary of Denmark looked effortlessly glam in a khaki skirt and white blouse as she visited the island of Vanua Levu in Fiji.


Princess Mary of Denmark looked effortlessly stunning as she met with Fijian locals at Nabavatu on the island of Vanua Levu in Fiji. The royal showed off a perfect casual look in a long khaki skirt, white shirt, and comfortable running trainers, pulling her brunette locks back into a voluminous ponytail.

The toned-down look reflected the poignant reason for Princess Mary's visit to the area. The royal's recent visit to Nabavatu aimed to shine a light on the challenges faced by the communities living on the Pacific islands, specifically in connection with climate change. 

In Nabavatu, where the royal was pictured smiling and laughing with local residents, the inhabitants have been forced to live in tent camps since a series of cyclones hit the area nearly two years ago.

According to a Danish royal statement, during her visit, "The Crown Princess will, among other things, focus on how the destruction and evacuations in the wake of climate change result in an increased risk of sexual and gender-based violence."

The statement also added that she will find out more about "how the health care system works to protect women and girls in vulnerable situations."
