Have a look at the links provided in my previous posts for a reputable newspaper perspective.
In abc there is an article where it says that Frederick has reassured his circle that he is not going to leave his wife despite the affair. That’s what is was left to say.
I am not going to keep publishing links again and again.
I have enough of this talk, it is what it is. I see now that monarchy has an immense power to blind people so they can hide their mistakes and sneaky behaviours. Always excused.
Some are actually honest people but then they have too much power in their hands so why keep love promises.
Don’t quote me again, i’ll be in Felipe’s area at least he is faithful.
Hi anabellka, I wanted to post my thanks and appreciation for your sharing of what is going on in the Spanish media earlier today … but as it is Sunday here, and the ferry services are less frequent, I didn’t have time this morning before I had to rush out.
I think Australia is at least half a week behind with the details that have come out, and though it has been covered on radio and tv, and probably in tomorrow’s new magazines, we’re obviously not in the loop down here as you are, and also lula.
I would think that after Denmark, Australia has a big interest in this. Frederik has hobnobbed alongside at least three of our Prime Ministers since marrying Mary.
I once stood in a crowd in the Sydney CBD while a very smartly turned out professional woman started to cry, while we were watching Mary.
We were strangers and she just lucked upon the scene, not knowing Mary was going to be there.
As she started to well-up with tears she told me she didn’t know why she was crying, but I understood. (And I’m much older than either her or Mary.)
It was a fairytale, but now there is a crack in it.
At least Count Nikolai and his partner had their time in the spotlight down here before this came out and put a pall over their public appearances.
When Prince Christian got caught in a rip at the beach here in Australia a few years ago, all sorts of claims were made … that the lifesavers knew who he was, that rips aren’t that dangerous, that these lifesavers just wanted to be famous etc.
The clearly stated facts of what happened were muddled up with some pretty out there rubbish, even from the Danish palace.
I haven’t really followed Frederik, and only really followed Mary when she has been in Australia, but even I have heard some things than have tainted Frederik’s reputation.
I even saw first-hand something of Frederik’s approach to his position as heir to the Danish throne once here in Sydney.
A small, but extremely noisy, crowd of us were waiting under the Opera House for the couple to leave the rehearsal of the Crown Prince Couple Prize.
Frederik left a good time ahead of Mary.
Despite the racket we were making, and he was on an official visit here for the anniversary of the Opera House, he did not glance in our direction.
It would have cost him nothing to pause by the car, smile, wave, just for a moment.
There were quite a few Danish people in the crowd, calling in Danish.
A chance for some positive PR not taken.
(When Mary came out, she turned from her car, walked along the line of us, smiling, talking, having her photo taken, shaking many hands. What a contrast.)
Anyway, thank you so much anabellka for all the information you have shared.
And thank you lula as another poster “on the ground” in Spain.
Also, Prinsara and IRIS1983, I have appreciated your insightful posts.
Personally I think the Crown Prince Couple will continue on, as if nothing has happened.
Of course, this will always be there now though.
