Mary and Frederik of Denmark No Longer Hide the Breakup and There's No Turning Back

Last Tuesday, Mary and Frederik of Denmark gathered with the whole family to celebrate Princess Isabella's 18th birthday. The evening took place at the Royal Theater in Copenhagen and brought together hundreds of young Danes. Everyone joined the heiress on a special night, in which Isabella dazzled with her elegant midnight blue dress and diamond jewelry.

Frederik and Mary of Denmark appeared proud and joyful for a birthday that included the participation of hundreds of young Danes. However, an important fact did not go unnoticed, generating unease and speculation. The joy of the happy family gathered for Isabella's birthday was not complete.

The Distance: Clear Signs of Conflict

The absence of Princes Joachim and Marie at this significant event has caused great concern. "The lack of their presence has caused speculation about their relationship with the rest of the family," comment those close to the royalty. Joachim and his wife moved to Washington in 2023 and have shown a lack of interest in participating in official events.

The absence of Joachim and Marie in the royal family's official activities has heightened the perception that the distance with the family core is increasing. They have expressed their desire to remain connected to the royal family, although their constant absences have made it clear that they have distanced themselves from Danish institutional life. The presence of their children, Nikolai and Felix, on the other hand, further highlights the contrast with their father's stance.

The Queen's Decision That Changed Frederik and His Brother's Relationship

The distancing began with a controversial decision by Queen Margrethe in 2022, when she withdrew the titles of "Royal Highness" from her children. Nikolai, Felix, Henrik, and Athena lost their treatments and became Counts of Monpezat. The abrupt way in which the queen communicated this decision to Joachim and Marie caused great discontent in the couple.

Joachim and Marie did not hesitate to express their discontent publicly, which led the queen to apologize through a statement. "I underestimated how much my son and his family would be affected," stated the monarch, acknowledging the emotional impact of her decision. Despite her apologies, tensions did not dissipate, and the relationship between Joachim and Frederik remained tense.

A Long-Standing Family Conflict

The tensions between Frederik and Joachim are not new. The relationship between the wives, Mary and Marie, has also caused rumors, especially after 2008, when Joachim was photographed apparently trying to kiss Mary. This incident worsened relations within the Danish royal family.

Today, the absence of Joachim and Marie at such an important moment for Isabella seems to confirm that the distance is irreparable. The cracks within the Royal House are evident and seem to have reached a point of no return. The Danish royal family, as a core, seems to be facing an uncertain future, and all that remains is to wait for the next steps.
