The photo of Frederik of Denmark with another woman that Queen Mary won't like at all

The royal box at Wimbledon is the place where the world's most prominent figures gather every year. No one ever goes unnoticed, as the media spotlight is on the attitudes and gestures of those who occupy it. Last Monday, the tournament's most exclusive box was the scene of an interaction between two members of royalty that might not please Mary of Denmark.

The first thing that drew attention was that Frederik of Denmark attended without Queen Mary. Attending the Wimbledon tournament is not an official visit; it is a moment of relaxation, which made it even more talked about. However, what attracted the most attention was who ended up accompanying Frederik.

This is how King Frederik's spontaneous encounter at Wimbledon happened

King Frederik of Denmark, who traveled to London without Queen Mary, was already comfortably seated when Sophie of Edinburgh arrived. After greeting her with two kisses and letting her pass to her seat, they exchanged a few words.

Nothing is known about the conversation, but cameras captured a moment that many did not overlook. Frederik's surprised expression at what Sophie was telling him increased curiosity about their dialogue. The images showed a closeness between them that made it clear they have a strong connection.

The ties between royal houses

This was not the first time Frederik and Sophie had met. They both belong to royal circles and have family ties that keep them related. In 2004, Sophie and her husband, Edward of Wessex, attended Frederik and Mary's wedding.

Mary and Sophie have met at various events, such as in 2016, when they were seen together at Royal Ascot. The families share a common origin. Both come from the House of Glücksburg, founded by King Christian IX of Denmark, nicknamed the "Father-in-law of Europe" for his great influence on European dynastic unions.

After the greeting, Sophie settled in next to her secretary, Annabelle Galletley, and enjoyed the match between Djokovic and De Minaur. Meanwhile, Frederik was accompanied by his friend Christian von Buchwald, with whom he had also attended the previous day's match. Christian, a doctor by profession and close to the son of Queen Margrethe of Denmark, is a trusted friend.

What seemed to be a simple greeting at a sporting event became an image that, although natural, did not go unnoticed. The reactions of those involved, Frederik's surprise, and his closeness with Sophie only fueled speculation.

While polite gestures are common in these circles, the moment captured in a photo may have caused discomfort. Especially when considering how Mary might interpret this encounter. Without a doubt, royalty has its own codes, and a simple conversation can raise many questions.
