His love story with Mary Donaldson, an Australian woman he met during the 2000 Sydney Olympics, was a turning point in his life.

After four years of dating, they got married in the Copenhagen Cathedral, in a ceremony that moved the whole world. Later, Federico started a family with his four children: Christiana, Isabella, Vicenta and Josephine.

But it wasn’t all joy for the marriage of Mary Donaldson and the crown prince of Denmark.

One of the latest controversies affecting Federico is the publication of some photos of him with Genoveva Casanova in Madrid. Spanish magazine Readings exclusively published pictures of the prince walking through the Spanish capital in the company of a Mexican socialite.

These pictures caused great interest and speculation about Federico and Genoveva’s relationship and started rumors of a possible marital crisis with Mary.

Controversial relations of Frederick of Denmark

For many years, Federico was the target of criticism for his behavior. Before his marriage to Mary, he had several girlfriends who kept him in public.

In an incident that caused a great scandal in the monarchy and Danish society, on New Year’s Eve 1992, Federico was detained by the police in an intoxicated state in a vehicle while his girlfriend at the time, model Malou Aamund, was driving, also under the influence of alcohol, reports El Español.

This caused an uproar and forced the Danish parliament to demand Frederick’s resignation as heir to the throne, and Queen Margaret sent her son to study at Harvard in the US, apparently to keep him out of the controversy.

Most of his relationships have not escaped controversy. According to the aforementioned media, the prince’s first love was Mie Egmont, although their relationship was only a youthful romance.

He later had a relationship with Nina Klinker Jorgensen, whom he met at university. However, the Spanish portal explains that the relationship did not last long because she decided to focus on her film career.

Then he had a relationship with Katja Storkholm, an underwear model, with whom he lasted two years, and there was even talk of marriage. However, the mother of the Danish heir objected to this relationship and they eventually ended in divorce.

In 1999, Federico had an affair with Maria Montell, a drama student, which also allegedly did not meet with the queen’s approval. It was in 2000 when he met Mary.

Infidelity of Frederick of Denmark

Just when everyone thought that Federico was on the right path in life after the wedding, the infidelity scandals started.

In 2008, the prince was caught kissing another woman during a night out in Copenhagen, reports La Vanguardia.

The same media reports that in 2017, the Danish magazine Her & Nu accused the prince of being unfaithful to his wife with a luxury prostitute and that he paid around seven thousand euros to cover up the case.

As is now the case with Genovese’s photos, the royal house has decided not to make statements about Federico’s private life. This was highlighted in a recently published statement regarding his photos with a Mexican woman.

“For years we have had a policy of not commenting or confirming any details related to private matters. Furthermore, we would like to emphasize our commitment to respect the privacy of members of the royal family, including the heir to the throne,” said the statement quoted by Lecturas.

Despite the controversy, the story of Federico and Mary seems to have withstood all odds. They have proven to be a strong and devoted couple, raising their four children and representing Denmark at events of national and international importance. (AND)
