now crown Now that it’s over, should Peter Morgan start documenting the drama of the Danish royal family? Det krone? Because Denmark’s long-reigning Queen Margrethe has just made a historic announcement, and rumor has it there’s a scandalous reason for it.
On December 31, 2023, Queen Margrethe II gave her annual New Year’s Eve address to the nation (if you just learned that Denmark also has a royal family…welcome to the meeting!), divided into two parts. announced his decision to retire. A few weeks’ time. She said in her statement that the length of her reign (more than half a century) and her recent back surgery were to blame. After all, the woman is 83 years old. It’s natural that she would want to relax a little and let her younger generation do the work instead.according to peopleShe concluded her speech by saying, “I hope that you will extend the same trust and love to the new royal couple that I have.”
No matter how rational the Queen’s speech may seem, the fact is that this is the first Danish abdication in more than 500 years. And the press has a pretty good theory about the timing: She’s doing it to save her son’s marriage. In November 2023, rumors surfaced that Crown Prince Frederic was having an affair with a Spanish socialite, literally named Genoveva Casanova. The two were photographed together, but Casanova (Casanova!!!!!) denied her affair. But it’s still doubtful, right?
“The Queen may have taken this action because she feared her marriage would break up and she would lose the royal family.” [the Crown Prince’s wife] Mary. That would have caused big problems. “The Queen always considered Mary to be a great asset to her,” royal gossip reporter Phil Dampier said. telegraph paperper people. “It seems completely coincidental that the Crown Princess would make this unexpected announcement just months after the Crown Prince’s affair allegations surfaced,” he said. “Two weeks later, the Crown Prince and his wife were married. I will do it,” he added. Throw them together as king and queen, so they have to deal with it. The Queen may think she can save her marriage by making up for their differences. ” Nothing seems to be going wrong with that plan!
To be fair, Dampier seems to have reached this conclusion after thinking about it for just 36 hours (Point 1, Point 2, Point 3), there doesn’t seem to be much time to investigate, but perhaps his sources will be early.
