Frederik and Mary of Denmark confirm about their young children: no longer a rumor

In the Danish Royal House's environment, every gesture carries weight and every appearance draws attention. That becomes even more significant when the press has been told that official information will be delivered through the Palace's social media. Frederik and Mary of Denmark know very well how much importance the public opinion gives to images.

Mary and Frederik of Denmark have experienced a year full of public appearances and voices about the breakup of their marriage. Now, the protagonists of the rumors are their youngest children, Vincent and Josephine. The royal twins, at 14 years old, are starting to appear on social media.

The touch-ups that are explained before others speak

A few days after King Frederik's 57th birthday, the official portraits of the twins have been published. The photographs were taken by Steen Evald, the royal family's trusted photographer. This time, the publication has come with a very precise clarification.

The new portraits have arrived with a direct notice from the palace: "Only the light, color, and contrast are adjusted." That's how they have officially communicated it, anticipating any suspicion. They wanted to make it clear that "the content of the image doesn't change."

Steen Evald had already been pointed out for possible manipulations in other royal sessions. Especially after the stir caused by the portraits of the kings in 2024. Back then, on social media, it was even suggested that the photographs had been taken separately and digitally joined.

A precedent that shaped the current reaction

The controversy a year ago was also marked by rumors surrounding Frederik's relationship. The appearance of photos with Genoveva Casanova in Madrid fueled speculation. In that climate, every appearance and publication was analyzed in detail, searching for signs of distance or coldness.

With this precedent, the Royal House has chosen total transparency this time. Informing from the beginning prevents fueling unnecessary theories. Frederik and Mary have learned that clarity and transparency protect both the institution and their children.

The twins begin to take their place

Vincent and Josephine have posed naturally in their official portraits, reflecting a youthful and serene appearance. At 14 years old, they are starting to be recognized as an active part of the royal core. This presentation marks another step in their public preparation.

The kings have chosen to show their children as they are, without hiding touch-ups but without exaggerations. It's a gesture that reaffirms the bond between the royal family and their citizens. It's also a way of saying that, with them, everything is told as it should be.
