Instagram, en.edatv.news, @detdanskekongehus Frederik of Denmark makes a move after the scandal: everyone is now focused on Mary
A change of course in the Danish royal family reflects an effort to restore their image and seek new alliances
In the Danish monarchy, public events reflect the image its members want to project. However, they also define the perception with which they're received by citizens. While the royal family continues to navigate the storm of controversies, some gestures can mark a turning point.
Frederik, like other members of European royalty, faces the challenge of restoring his prestige after several controversial episodes. Although the situation is complicated, there are those who already look to the future with more hope, also looking toward his wife, Mary.
A gesture to calm the waters
Aware of the criticism that has surrounded his reign, Frederik and Mary made a decision that could change public perception. The royal couple have donated €215,000 to 16 charitable causes. This action has been well received in Danish media, who see it as a step toward reconciliation with society.
The funds will be allocated to various projects, support for women victims of violence, the fight against cancer, and summer camps for disadvantaged children. This gesture of solidarity has been interpreted as a necessary measure to improve the opinion about the royal family after several controversies.
Frederik's mother's presence remains
Despite Margrethe II's abdication, her presence remains essential in Denmark. The queen, although no longer on the throne, keeps her title of Her Royal Highness, which allows her to intervene when necessary. On Ascension Day weekend, Margrethe briefly resumed her role as head of state, reassuring Danes with her leadership.
Margrethe shares this role of regent with Crown Prince Christian. This reinforces the image of stability in the Danish royal family, especially at times when Frederik needs more support than ever.
Mary, the face of the new era
While Frederik works on restoring his image, Queen Mary has become the most constant and admired figure. Her calm and commitment have made her an essential pillar, especially in these difficult times. Danes value her role, and her support for social causes reinforces the monarchy's popularity.
Although Frederik remains king, Mary's prominence is increasing. Her image grows as the royal couple face strong criticism from public opinion. Their mutual support will be key for the Danish monarchy to regain the trust of its citizens.
