The reason for the more dramatic image of the wife of Frederick of Denmark

How hard it is to say goodbye to one’s land. Marie (age 51) from Denmark knows this well. When she fell in love with Frederik, Prince of Denmark (age 55), she understood that she had to leave her entire family and friends to start a new life. Now, whenever he returns to Australia, his heart fills with joy, the same joy that disappears when he returns to his adopted country. He thought it would get easier as the years went by, but it didn’t, it was the complete opposite. So at the end of his last family vacation the films he starred in…

The princess was photographed with her husband and three youngest children at Queenstown Airport. The whole family was leaving New Zealand after spending a few days in the company of a few friends, to whom Mary Donaldson bade farewell. In photos published by the Daily Mail, Federico’s wife is seen hugging a good friend and wiping tears from her face with a sad face. Those had been hard weeks for her and returning to her family must have been a real balm to the soul.

Mary Donaldson’s holiday in November

November was, without a doubt, a month to forget for Mary Donaldson. Earlier in the month, Lecturas magazine published its world exclusive, revealing the night Federico de Denmark and Genoveva Casanova spent together. While the princess was on a business trip to America, her husband was having fun in Madrid with his good Mexican friend. Photographers’ cameras caught them having dinner at a booth in the Corral de la Moreria and spending the night at her house.

The images fell like a veritable bucket of cold water on the Danish royal house, accustomed to the scandals of its successor. From the palace they rushed to deny or clarify the rumours, and remained true to their version that they had nothing to say.

Neither Queen Margaret nor Frederick wanted to face questions from the press and avoided them at all costs, projecting a normalcy far from reality. The photos have left the family very sad. The couple’s children were the most affected, seeing how their father made the front pages of newspapers, not because of royalty issues.

A new crisis ended with a cold and unloving greeting. A simulation of apparent normality when nothing else exists.

On December 6, Mary Donaldson finally got a break, as she tried to remain professional and quiet without giving in to her true emotions. That day, the Australian was traveling home with her teenage children. All four were preparing to spend a few days in the company of the Donaldson family, who would be especially supportive of her.

The four of them traveled alone without the company of Federico, who had not done so until a few days before. It was thought to be a ploy to get her back, so she wouldn’t run away like Charlene, who spent almost a year away from Monaco and was imprisoned between South Africa and Switzerland. Federico wanted to be reunited with his family. Save her. And to show Mary that he was, though it seemed ordinary in the face of public opinion. He gave her space, but he was there for her.
