The date for two between the ex-wife of Cayetano Martínez de Irujo and the husband of Mary Donaldson last October in Madrid unleashed an unstoppable media tsunami, with unpredictable and certainly strange consequences: in the face of the public 'disappearance' of Genoveva Casanovathe coronation of Frederick of Denmark as new king. A scandal that both were warned about and that they did nothing to avoid, just as we published in the first place.
It was last October 26 when the two 'friends' were seen walking through the Madrid park of El Retiro and then enjoying a dinner with a show at the Corral de la Morería. A plan just for two that lasted at the Mexican woman's house, in the center of the capital, where the then crown prince spent the night with no security other than that of his two escorts outside the building. They did their job well and informed Frederick of Denmark that they had been discovered and recorded by the press. This is what sources from the Danish embassy in Spain let us know and we published it on November 16 in Informalia: “Prince Frederick's security service was aware that the heir had been captured by paparazzi. His Royal Highness was informed early in the morning of last Thursday, October 26, that his “activity” with the Mexican in Madrid had been photographed and perhaps videotaped.
After receiving the information, Federico contacted Genoveva to gather more information. Some sources suggested that she tried to stop the publication of the report, but the version that we received is that that was what she told him and that she didn't actually lift a finger. Sources close to one of the photographers who made the report explained to Informalia what there was “a desire for this material to be published and not withdrawn” and that “only an amount that multiplied the price of the report by seven” would have led them to sell it so that it could be kept in a drawer. “They wanted to be sure that he would come out because if they had not taken him to Hola“they insisted.
A new king and a famous 'disappeared'
Almost three months have passed since that cover of Readings that put Federico of Denmark and Genoveva Casanova in the media center and the doubts remain unresolved. Why didn't they stop the publication of the report? Who wanted those photographs to come to light?
Analyzing the consequences that the scandal has had on the two protagonists, it is clear that there is a beneficiary: Frederick of Denmark was crowned as the new king on January 14, following the abdication of his mother, Queen Margaret. And he did it, too, with his wife, Mary Donaldson, and his four children. They all greeted from the balcony of Amalienborg Palace, the life image of a united and happy family.
Genoveva, however, cannot say the same. Her circle affirms that she lived through very complicated weeks. “She is overwhelmed” or “she is destroyed” have been the most repeated phrases. The Mexican took refuge from the storm in the Arbaizenea palace (San Sebastián), property of her ex-husband, and then traveled to London (where her children live), Madrid (where she celebrated Christmas) and finally Mexico, her homeland , where they assure that it continues. Casanova has deleted her social networks and they also claim that the stress of her situation has taken its toll on her health: “she is delicate and they are doing tests.”
