Mary and Frederik of Denmark: A woman reveals the truth about their marriage

The reality about the Danish monarchs, Mary and Frederik, and the rumors about their current marriage come to light

The relationship between Frederik and Mary of Denmark has been under intense public scrutiny in recent years. Since images of the then-prince with Genoveva Casanova in Madrid surfaced a year and a half ago, the marriage has faced constant media examination. The few joint appearances of the royal couple are interpreted as part of a strategy to reinforce the image of their stability before the citizens and the monarchy.

Scandals and difficulties in the royal couple

The controversy is not limited to the relationship with Casanova. Frederik has been linked to other episodes related to infidelities, disloyalties, and behaviors that have endangered his union with Mary. Despite these episodes, psychologist Verena Sziegoleit offers insight into how the monarchs have managed to keep their marriage and move forward together.

Complicated moments and distancing

The marriage of the Danish royals has not been going through easy times for a long period. The German press has highlighted the apparent lack of connection between them in their recent public appearances, noting the absence of physical contact, looks, or affectionate, complicit gestures. This distancing intensified after the publication of the photographs of the secret meeting between Frederik and Genoveva Casanova in Madrid.

Although Casanova assured that the nature of their meeting was not romantic, the damage was already done. Mary left for Australia, while Queen Margrethe abdicated to restore order in the family. Genoveva disappeared from the media spotlight, and Mary returned strengthened in her role as consort, committed to the royal institution.

Privacy and expert analysis

The secrecy of the Danish royal house has kept the details out of the public eye. Only their closest circle knows how they really managed to overcome this crisis. However, psychologist Verena Sziegoleit provides some insights from her experience.

"It's not always easy to come back," commented the expert, who added: "Despite all the rumors, the two have managed to come out of the crisis and save their love." Regarding the difficulties, she explains: "Returning to love after a breakup or a difficult stage is not always easy." The recovery of trust and union was a complicated process full of challenges.

Communication as an essential key

"For a reconciliation to be successful, good communication is essential, they have to talk about the things that have bothered them," says Verena Sziegoleit. In the case of Mary, she highlights that it was necessary to face "mainly the headlines surrounding her supposed romance with Genoveva Casanova." The proximity of the scandal to the coronation aggravated the situation, generating a temporary "ice age" between the couple.

Despite this, "they managed to give new life to their relationship and become closer again," concludes the specialist. Mary and Frederik have known how to weather the storm and keep their marriage standing, although always under the watchful eye of the public. This process is an example of how, even in the public eye, dialogue and willingness can save complex relationships.
