Things are currently going haywire in the Danish royal palace. In November there were rumors that Crown Prince Frederik (55) was having an affair with Genevieve Casanova (47) is said to have had. Since then, the relationship between him and his wife, Crown Princess Mary (51), has appeared significantly strained. Exactly how much truth there is to the cheating speculation is unclear. But even a few weeks later it seems as if there is an ice age between Frederik and Mary!
The New Year’s reception took place on Wednesday at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen. In addition to Queen Margrethe (83), Frederik and Mary also took part. But the future royal couple didn’t really seem to be in a particularly good mood. They watched the Danish monarch’s speech with serious faces. In addition, the couple hardly looked at each other.
For royal expert Phil Dampier, it is an “extraordinary coincidence” that Queen Margrethe announced her resignation in the midst of the affair scandal. “It is possible that the Queen took this action because she was afraid that the marriage would break up and the royal family would lose Mary,” the expert had explained to The Telegraph. According to him, Margrethe can hope that her abdication will resolve Mary and Frederik’s differences.
