The other secret visit of Frederick of Denmark to Madrid: business dinner and “to the mythical Pygmalion bar”

The friendship between Frederick of Denmark y Genoveva Casanova continues to make headlines. The photos of the then heir and the Mexican woman walking through Madrid last November went around the world. They shook the foundations of the palace, Mary headed to his native Australia, a marital reconciliation was staged and Margaret II announced his abdication. All this in one month. Now we know that this was not the Queen's son's only trip to the capital.

The image of the Danish royal, disoriented through the streets of Madrid, without an escort and pulling a trolley, raised a wave of criticism due to the risky situation to which he had been exposed given his status as crown prince. It was in November, when he was leaving his friend Genoveva's house. Before, in March 2023, there was another trip by Federico to the capital, but the format of the visit was different.

He was not alone, he was accompanied by two friends. According to Antonio Montero in Later, The prince came to Spain and stayed at the five-star luxury hotel Villa Magna. His friends were with Federico, “somewhat older and a very successful international businessman,” Montero stressed. The reason for the visit? Business. There were also dinners business and a foray into the Madrid night, “in a rather mythical nightclub in Madrid, the Pygmalion,” the photographer noted. “A nightclub run by ladies, although they did not enjoy all the attractions. They had a few drinks and returned to the hotel,” Antonio Montero explained.

On this visit to Madrid, as in his meeting with Genoveva, Federico would have dispensed with his escorts, which indicates the private nature of the trip: ““He was walking down the street and no one knew him.”, has settled. Furthermore, he has made it clear that on this occasion he did not see Cayetano Martínez de Irujo's ex.
