Two things:
One: The changing stories to me lend credence to the theory of being caught off guard. I.e. Casanova came up with whatever explanation just entered her head.
You'd think people who are having an affair would at least come up with a prepared explanation if caught.
Admittedly it doesn't cover the spontaneous one night stand. But if they were about to have sex, they sure didn't look like they were in the mood, to me.
So the idea of them deciding to go home to Casanova's place to continue their conversation and then Frederik deciding to crash there and send for his suitcase, still sounds the most plausible to me. - And very naive.
Two: And that leads me to the next point. Frederik or at least the DRF will
have to comment.
Otherwise Frederik is a lousy friend who leaves one of his friends squirming in the light of the press. He has to come to her rescue so to speak.
Or he is a most inconsiderate adulterer, who can't even be bothered to come up with a lie to support his mistress.
The "no comments" is so last millennium.
It didn't work with Herlufsholm. It didn't work with Joachim's children and it won't work this time either.
Given the usual easy accessibility of the DRF to the press, Frederik, Mary and even QMII will inevitable be asked to comment.
How difficult can it be? If Frederik merely crashed at Casanova's place, just say so. - Some won't believe, some will refuse to believe - so be it.
Alas, when it comes to communication and damage control the DRF really suck these years! I don't know what they have been doing for the past ten years or so, but either they don't have a PR advisor to deal with such situations, (of which there will be more! M&F after all have four teenagers who at some point will likely do something stupid,) or they flatly refuse to listen.
And along that line: The DRF has announced that the press will not be invited to cover the grandest of the annual royal hunts that takes place at Fredensborg. Instead the press will be invited to cover the royal hunts in Jutland.
The DRF will provide photographs and publish the guest-list.
It is immediately suspected that it might very well be because some segments of the press have criticized the DRF for mingling too much with the elite at these hunts.
- Of course they do! They are royals. They don't mingle with Hansen and Petersen at such events. And I doubt anyone in DK who does not choose to, believe otherwise.
It will annoy some members of the Copenhagener press, who now have to go to the remotest Jutland.
The thought scares them, they think they will be set upon by banjo playing inbreds or be attacked by wolves or wild cows. So they will let their dissatisfaction be known one way or another...
Does anyone know a PR-expert in white shining armor who could come to the rescue of the DRF?
