Is it true Frederik was still in a relationship with Bettina Oedum when he met Mary in the Slip Inn in 2000? I always presumed he was single at the time.

The police is searching for Tena Winderslev, a former fling of Frederik's.

I can hardly remember Tena Winderslev.
do you have pics of her or with fred? Thanks.
where did you find that?
On the one hand, Frederik and Bettina only broke up in March 2001
Fairytale royal romance ends
when they were already an item?
Mary from the start: Discovered by the Danish press
Years ago, I read somewhere (book? interview?), that the relationship ended in January, before Frederik went down to Australia to meet Mary for the second time.I don't know how these things work - but Ødum might have been "off" Frederik for some time. The relationships of Frederik were always unofficial and perhaps even the girls weren't always aware of they were in or out.
The reply from Ødum in the article could be a decent way to get out of Frederik's hair - althoug it may have been reality for some time beforehand and only now did the occation arrive to sort of publizise it.
.
Frederik actually proposed to Katja in 1995, and she said yes, but kept it a secret for some time, because the royal family didn't approve of her.
The law in Denmark says that the Queen or King has to approve the marriage, If an heir to the crown is going to marry someone. Otherwise he or she will lose hit/her right to be king/queen - and so will their kids.
He first told his grandma the former queen Ingrid about it, and she was okay with it, but when he told the The Queen she said no. This made Frederik very sad/angry, and as a result of it, he cheated on Katja with Maria Montell - which led to Katja breaking up with him.
The problem with Katja was not her personality, that she wasn't royal or anything like that - but the simple fact that she was danish. In Denmark there is an unwritten law saying that members of the royal family (especially the crown princess / crown prince ) can't merry a dane. The Queen has stated that everybody has a past but if you marry someone from eg. Australia, the past doesn't walk around in the streets with you.
There is a danish article about it here:
Tomorrows crowned heads: ♔ Det vigtigste er, at han er glad ♔
Congratulations on your first post.
I don't think it's the fact that Katja was Danish or even Katja herself, that was the issue.
I happen to know her family and also Katja, albeit on a limited basis. (DK is a small country). But certainly well enough!
Let me put it like this: It is good, very good, that Frederik did not marry Katja.
And that is all I will ever say on this matter on a forum like this.
The PAST can be anywhere. In the streets or anywhere in the world. That's a stupid law. That's the royal family less Danish i know.

I did read somewhere that QMII did not approve of their relationship and encouraged him to find another girl of royalty in particular, but he was deeply in love with Mary. I just can’t remember the article name.
I also read that Fred was dead set on marrying Katja. I wonder what would have happened if he did indeed marry her and then met Mary? Hmmmm
Like the woman Frederik has been together with for the past 20 years...?
Oh no, it wasn’t my intention to go into any details. I’m sorry if you took it that way.
