Correct me if I'm wrong Danish posters, but from my experience of Danes, something like this would never have made headlines nor would anyone had clutched their pearls. It is wild to me to see two adults hanging out and immediately jump to accusations of an affair. Certainly seems like a Spanish tabloid special to stir things up. Of course, that might all change with the photos released tomorrow.
It's not a big story here, yet.
And I totally agree with you. It seems to me that Frederik has already been tried and sentenced. -
But not by me!
I will not condemn neither Frederik nor Casanova.
Frederik: He visited a friend and crashed at her place for the night. - After both of them have been seen together in public by half the citizens of Madrid.
If they are having an affair it's the most suicidal I have seen for a long time.
Is it possible they had a one night stand? Yes, of course it is possible. Everything that is not totally improbable is a possibility.
Is it equally possible that Frederik called Mary to say that he was to spend the night and Mary responded: OK, say hi from me. - IMO yes.
It is just as valid speculation as the speculations that he was fooling around.
And then we come to Casanova: Yes, she's a socialite. Yes, she has had relationships. I understand women too can have sexual needs... Yes, she denied being in a relationship with a politician. Was that because she was caught off guard? Because they were not yet ready to go public? Because their relationship wasn't at that level yet? - There can be many reasons for denying a relationship.
And IIRC our Marie also initially denied a relationship with Joachim. Mainly because the poor woman was caught off guard while Joachim was in Nepal, I think, at the time.
Because you are a socialite you are not necessarily bad, nor a home-wrecker.
This is 2023, surely a man and a woman can sleep under the same roof, without being at it like rabbits?
Even in my youth, many years ago it was quite common to crash at the couch of a female friend if you missed the last bus, or your scooter was too intoxicated to drive home, without anything happening.
Which is perhaps why this story isn't that big a thing here in DK, yet.
And don't worry too much about the children. It's more likely their friends and classmates will rally around them.
I will start to worry if, repeat if, it turns out that Frederik did goof or have been having an affair. That's a bad one to subject your children to!
But so far, where be the hard evidence?
Is there someone from Denmark that can comment on this?
Weren’t there rumors that CP Frederik had an affair during the 2020 quarantine?
If this is a platonic friendship (which can exist), they made some poor choices because the optics are very bad. It isn’t as if CP Frederik couldn’t have afforded a hotel suite or the transportation back to the hotel. It just reiterates that CP Frederik isn’t very smart if he thinks that no one will notice him with an attractive woman.
(..)
Not that I recall.
There are always rumors about Frederik having an affair, actually a multitude of affairs if you read certain comments sections. These rumors have been around since M&F left Copenhagen Cathedral the day they got married.
As mentioned in a previous post: DK is a small country, it's very difficult to hide if you are probably the most wellknown man in DK.
PH was also persistently rumored to have an affair - with his own nephew I think.
- Having said all that. Should it turn out that Frederik was messing about, then the public will crucify him! If you think Joachim got a hard time after separating from Alexandra (who was the superstar of the DRF back then) then you ain't seen anything yet!
Personally I'd consider him the most stupid man in DK at present and my regards for him will hit rock bottom. If fact if that be the case, he could move into an igloo 200 km north of Greenland and live there for the rest of his life, for all I care.
But... present me with hard evidence first: Lip stick on his collar. A video. Photos. Suction marks on his neck. Him holding hands and/kissing Casanova.
DNA-samples from his "guys."
Until then I will give him the benefit of doubt.
I find it quite... an eye-opener that I as a married man can, in 2023, have my whole reputation as a husband ruined by people who don't know me, if I spend the night in the house of a single woman. Because what applies to Frederik surely applies to everyone?
