Proud Mary accepts new honour
<p dir="ltr">The hospital in which Princess Mary gave birth to her four kids will be renamed after her.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Princess Mary gave birth to Prince Christian, Princess Isabella and twins, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine at Rigshospitalet, Denmark's biggest hospital.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A new building is set to open in 2026 and the entire hospital will be renamed in her honour to: Mary Elizabeth’s Hospital – The Kingdom for children, young people and pregnant women.</p>
<p dir="ltr">On Monday, she attended the ceremony and laid a foundation stone at the hospital.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“All parents know how difficult it can be when one’s child is ill. Especially if the child is so ill that it needs to be treated in a hospital,” the princess previously said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“When children and young people are ill, everyday life and the feeling of security become more important than ever.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Rigshospitalet’s future hospital for children, young people, pregnant women and their families, which will open its doors in four years, will therefore be a place that takes new paths to create space for patients ‘and families’ lives and needs – a place that must be safe and I am moved and proud that the hospital will bear my name.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">The new building will have 179 single rooms, 87 other patient rooms and 13 operating rooms on eight floors and can accommodate 900 patients at a time.</p>
