King Frederik and Queen Mary have shown closeness to the Danish people from the beginning, but lately their decisions are generating major criticism. Danes are feeling increasingly puzzled by their monarchs' recent moves. This has raised alarms about how institutional responsibilities are being managed.

The criticism is coming not only from the media, but also from the population. They are observing how the younger members might be following the questionable actions of their parents. The personal decisions of Mary and Frederik of Denmark remain a recurring topic that doesn't go unnoticed.

The extension of the vacation and the absence of Frederik and Mary

Although the return of the monarchs was initially desired for July 13, Frederik and Mary decided to extend their break until the 16th. However, the surprise came when it was announced that their absence would be extended until July 20. The decision to prolong the monarchs' vacation was not well received.

Many citizens are wondering if this choice could affect their monarchs' image. They are considering that the royal family has a packed schedule of official commitments. The one who was supposed to assume the regency was Crown Prince Christian, who has not been present during this time.

Recently, the eldest son of Frederik and Mary of Denmark was seen at the Roskilde Festival, where he caused a great stir among attendees. This marked his presence at a time when the monarchs were absent, and comparisons with his father quickly followed.

The controversy over Mary's absence and the return to Australia

Last February, Mary of Denmark caused a stir by returning to her native Australia for two weeks. Although the Royal House assured that the trip was scheduled, rumors about her father John Donaldson's health quickly emerged, raising alarms in the press.

This situation adds to the growing controversy over the royal family's lengthy vacations. It adds to the criticism already circulating about the high expenses of the royal family. Frederik and his family are once again in the spotlight of rumors and questions about their actions.

The actions of Frederik and Mary and of Prince Christian have drawn the attention of Denmark and also internationally. The Danish royal family remains a recurring topic in the headlines, while the crown prince is beginning to earn his own place under the monarchy's spotlight.
