The Danish royal family has broken its silence on Crown Prince Frederik’s alleged affair as furious fans speak out for his Australian-born wife Princess Mary.
A week after Spanish magazine Lecturas published explosive photos of Frederik on a night out in Madrid with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova, the royal family told Danish publication B.T they ‘do not comment on rumours or insinuations’.
Both Frederik, who is fourth cousin of King Charles, and his wife Mary are yet to comment personally on the alleged affair.
It is just the latest scandal to engulf the royal family, with royalists taking to the palace’s official Instagram account to voice their anger.
‘Respect and admiration for Princess Mary and a big ‘shame, shame, shame on you’ Crown Prince Frederik…for your alleged affair/friendship with a certain Mexican Socialite,’ one woman commented.
‘Sadly, this undermines the integrity of the Danish royal family.’
Another commenter lauded Princess Mary for carrying out her duties with ‘dignity, enthusiasm and discretion’ amid the controversy.’
She gave the royal family a more prominent presence in the world which came with admiration and respect from around the world,’ they wrote.
‘I hope Prince Frederik does not destroy that and thinks about his role as husband, father and heir to the throne with wisdoms and insight.’
Other fans noted that Prince Frederik and Princess Mary appeared to be acting differently in public – despite putting on a united front at official engagements.
