Extreme measures in Denmark: they divide the institutional agenda of Federico and Mary Donaldson

Desperate This is how those responsible for the Danish Royal House are, to whom the crisis due to the behavior of the Prince Frederick It has gotten completely out of hand. His popularity has dropped to historic lows after learning of her friendship with Genoveva Casanova and public opinion has clearly chosen a side: that of Mary Donaldson. While the storm subsides, the Royal House has made an extreme decision: divide the institutional agenda of the princes.

Both have reappeared after the scandal to fulfill their obligations but they have done so separately. Casa Real does not want Federico and Mary together in public because each of their gestures is analyzed with a magnifying glass and that, at the moment, is not exactly positive. The princess cannot (and perhaps does not want to) hide her anger and disappointment in the father of her children for what happened. Already in Copenhagen, during her last two acts with the kings Felipe and LetiziaHours after the news was made public, Federico’s wife appeared visibly serious and distant with her husband.

The new strategy began this Tuesday. Mary reappeared at Copenhagen City Hall to chair a gala dinner in honor of Vo Thi Anh Xuan, Vice President of Vietnam. We hadn’t seen her for thirteen days. She came alone, without Federico (an unusual fact given that it was a high-profile institutional event) and dressed in a midi design made of burgundy velvet, a color that has been interpreted as a message of strength. The prince, for his part, attended a solitary meeting with Vo Thi Anh Xuan this Wednesday morning at Amalienborg Castle.

All together: Mary Donaldson

As we said, public opinion regarding Prince Frederick’s ‘slip’ is unanimous in Denmark: unacceptable. Both the people and the media hold Mary Donaldson in very high esteem and have taken a clear side for her princess in this state crisis. Exemplary woman and mother, supportive, hard-working, cultured… There is not a single ‘but’ towards the Australian, who left the United States and a brilliant professional career for love.

Queen Margaret’s son, however, is in the eye of the hurricane, not only for his friendship with Genoveva Casanova (who is not the first) but also for his irresponsibility when wandering alone and aimlessly through the streets of Madrid at dawn. . The Danes are also wondering where the money for this private trip came from and what other unnecessary and capricious expenses their prince is covering with his taxes.

As we advance in Informalia, The situation is extremely delicate. Queen Margaret, at 83 years old, was planning her abdication to Frederick but the scandal has ruined her plans. Mary, for her part, is considering divorce, a legal but very complex option taking into account the marriage agreements that she signed before her wedding and the situation in which her four children would be left, Christian, Isabelle, Josephine and Vincent.
