Alarms Go Off in Denmark: King Frederick Has Left and Mary Is Alone Again

Since they ascended the throne, the kings of Denmark have kept a demanding and very active institutional pace. Although they usually appear together at important events, lately they have taken different paths. Their official agendas take them to different destinations, and this hasn't gone unnoticed.

The last few weeks have been especially intense for both. Frederik continues his travels abroad, and Mary focuses her activity in the capital. The distance between them has raised some concerns, although everything has been justified by royal obligations, which hasn't silenced the rumors.

An Impeccable Queen in Her Reappearance

Mary presided over the opening of the Danner of Denmark exhibition at Frederiksborg Palace this Wednesday. She was received with flowers and music by the Royal Life Guards Music Corps. During her visit, she toured the castle where Countess Danner lived with Frederik VII.

For the event, Mary opted for a spring ensemble she had worn on other occasions. She wore a purple silk blouse by Prada and a textured black midi skirt. She completed the look with discreet jewelry and black high heels.

Unlike the pope's funeral, this time, she left her hair down. At the end of the event, she surprised attendees with a brief spontaneous speech. She did so with her brown reading glasses, which have become part of her usual image.

Frederik in Greenland and Mary in Copenhagen

The king, meanwhile, has traveled to Greenland after returning from Japan. His visit coincides with the recent controversy over the territory's independence pushed by Donald Trump. Frederik seeks to reinforce the unity and institutional bond with the island.

Meanwhile, Mary continues alone in Denmark with her commitments. The next time she reappears will be today, at the DTU 2025 Annual Party. It will also be a solo event, without the company of the monarch.

Although both are dedicated to their institutional role, the number of separate appearances has become more frequent. This has led to comments, although no statement has been issued from the palace regarding this.

For now, everything indicates that the couple remains firm in their responsibility as monarchs. But the fact that each acts on their own fuels speculation. Alarms have sounded, although publicly, everything remains calm.
