Crown Princess Mary released a year-end message as Patron of the WHO Regional Office for Europe (WHO/Europe). The message of the Crown Princess on the website of WHO is as the following: "As 2020 comes to a close, we look back on an extraordinary year in which too many have faced sorrow and heartache, and all of us have had to make necessary changes – to our plans, our expectations, our traditions and our way of life. As Patron of the WHO Regional Office for Europe , I have watched with respect the unwavering professional dedication of our frontline health and care workers, whose personal sacrifice in delivering care has been nothing short of remarkable.
