Since March 31, the King and Queen of Denmark have been visiting Paris. A first for the couple since the accession to the throne of Frederik X in January 2024. The perfect opportunity for the Queen Consort and her husband to silence rumors of infidelity.
It is an official three -day visit that started on March 31 in Paris for the King of Denmark, Frederik X, and his wife, Mary. A first for a member of the royal family since 1978, and a first trip to France for the royal couple since the accession to the throne of Frederik X in January 2024.
Mary of Denmark and Frederik X: a love at first sight worthy of a fairy tale
Unsurprisingly, the king and the queen consort appeared more united than ever in the courtyard of the Invalides then at the Palais de l’Elysée, this Monday, March 31. It must be said that between the son of Queen Margrethe II – who succeeded her mother by surprise after the latter announced her live abdication on television after healthy seeds -, and her sweetheart, it’s a story that rolls.
The two lovebirds met in a Sydney bar in 2000, during the Olympic Games to which the 32 -year -old prince went to support the team of his country. At the time, he continued the escapades and scares the crown somewhat. But that was without counting on her love at first sight with Mary Donaldson, a 28 -year -old advertiser, born in Tasmania of two Scottish parents.
Between them, love at first sight is immediate. “”The first time we met, we leaned our hands (…) I did not know that he was the Prince of Denmark. Half an hour later, someone came to see me and said to me, ‘Do you know who these people are?’ “also told the Queen Consort in an interview in 2005. A real distance relationship marked by secret round trips and many epistolary exchanges. It was only until their romance that their romance was made public by a tabloid.
Mary of Denmark and Frederik X: the perfect couple shaken by infidelity rumors
The future King of Denmark and his Dulcinée got married four years after their meeting, on May 14, 2004 at the Copenhagen Cathedral. Very quickly, Mary Donaldson became a very popular sovereign. Often compared to Kate Middleton, she is very committed to the fight against harassment, domestic violence and social isolation. She also actively campaigns for women’s rights. Together, the new King and Queen of Denmark have four children: Christian, born in October 2005, Isabella, born in April 2007 and the twins Vincent and Josephine, born in January 2011.
Until November 2023, no shadow on the board was to be deplored between the 52 -year -old king and his wife. But stolen photos showed the king walking in the streets of Madrid with the former model Genova Casanova… and their perfect couple image shattered. Besides, they still have a hard time forgetting the supposed adultery rumors of Frederik X.
