Whenever someone announces they are expecting, I assume they'll be keen to drop everything as soon as possible to prepare for their newborn's arrival. But not Princess Marie of Denmark, who is taking the news of her pregnancy in her stride and admirably carrying on with all her official duties.

A few days back she was on a solo visit to Morocco and now she's hopped over to Russia, where she's planning to pass through at least three major cities. Personally, it makes me exhausted just thinking about it! But the princess isn't showing any sign of wanting to slow down, sporting a dazzling grin wherever she goes.

I'm amazed at her ability to balance her duties and stay looking so classy and sophisticated - something that, as a woman on the go myself, I know is no easy task! In any case, she's certainly got that pregnancy glow!
