A Danish opinion poll (Ritzau) suggests Tasmanian-born Queen Mary has a slight advantage over newly crowned King Frederick in terms of popularity. Mary met Frederick at her Inn, where her funny name slips, during her Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000. At the time, she was a marketing executive and he was a young prince and heir. Reportedly, she was completely unaware of his position when the two first met. Although he simply introduced himself as “Fred,” they quickly established a connection.
The two had a natural chemistry and soon developed a long-distance relationship, with Frederic taking several secret trips to Australia. The couple married in Copenhagen in 2004 with the blessing of then-Queen Margrethe. After she became Princess of Denmark, Mary quickly won the hearts of Danes far and wide. She quickly learned the language and threw herself into charity work. Her most notable is her eponymous Mary Fonden, which focuses on bullying, domestic violence and loneliness (her advocacy work in Mary is particularly focused on the needs of women and girls). focused). But it’s not just Mary’s work that Danes love, but her attitude as well. She is known as a warm, friendly and hardworking person. She is the perfect match for any royal.
After Frederick’s coronation, which took place amidst Copenhagen’s jubilation on Sunday, he appeared alongside Maria on the balcony of Christiansborg Castle, where the couple drew the admiration of the crowd. Frederick wore full military uniform and wore the blue sash of the Order of the Elephants. Mary, on the other hand, wore a stunning white dress similar to the one Princess Kate wore in Together for the Christmas carol service. However, this dress was designed by Soeren Le Schmidt and sewn by Birgit Hallstein. Birgit was also chosen by Uffe Frank to sew Mary’s wedding dress on her wedding day to the Prince of Denmark in 2004. The Queen accessorized her dress with a ruby and diamond hairpiece and matching earrings.
The couple were later joined on the balcony by their four children, Prince Christian (the current crown prince and heir presumptive), Princess Isabella, and twins Vincent and Josephine. Despite the recent uproar over the revelation of images showing Frederic out late with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova, they appear to be united, and there are no signs of discord. was hardly seen. In November, Frederic was photographed leaving a flamenco club in Madrid with a former reality TV star, sparking suspicions of an affair. Whatever the real reason for the two spending time together, everyone seems to agree that it would be imprudent for the married heir to the Danish throne to appear in this way, at such a time. . Yesterday, Casanova posted on social media for the first time since Frederick’s coronation.
Critics may suggest that suspicions of infidelity may be behind Frederic’s slight decline in popularity. However, he is widely appreciated for his down-to-earth approach and is also admired for his sporty and adventurous temperament. He famously trained as a frogman with the Danish Special Forces and has had extensive involvement with the International Olympic Committee. He is also known to participate in marathons and other foot races with common Danes. He says he intends to continue this practice as king.
