In recent weeks, concern has grown within the Danish monarchy. Despite the image of unity that the Royal House tries to project, several details have cast doubt on the stability of the marriage between Frederik and Queen Mary. Although she has tried to hide it, many have noticed attitudes that haven't gone unnoticed by the public eye.
The scandal that shook the royal family at the end of 2023 hasn't been completely forgotten. Frederik has been romantically linked to Genoveva Casanova, something that has left scars on his marriage. Despite gestures of reconciliation, there are clear signs that the wound hasn't fully healed.
Since then, Mary has shown reserved and, at times, cold behavior at official events. Although she has posed with a smile at public events, experts in nonverbal communication have warned of persistent tension. She has avoided many spontaneous displays of closeness toward her husband, which has raised suspicions.
Queen Mary can no longer hide it: her gestures give her away
Body language expert Sascha Morgenstern has offered a detailed analysis of the current situation of the Danish royals. According to what she explained to Bunte magazine, the relationship has improved, but "not everything has been forgotten." The emotional distance between the couple is still noticeable, even in supposedly intimate moments.
Morgenstern has observed that Mary creates small physical barriers when she is next to Frederik. Although there is no longer such an obvious separation as in the photos from a few months ago, there is still an invisible wall between them. This has been noticeable in the way she positions her body in relation to the king.
In addition, the constant focus on Frederik in official photographs has also been highlighted by analysts. In almost every image, he appears in the foreground as the central figure, while Mary is relegated to the background. This not only reflects traditional dynamics of the monarchy, but also a subtle asymmetry in their relationship.
Since the scandal, Queen Mary hasn't appeared the same
During the recent celebration of Greenland's National Day, new photographs of the royal couple were published. In these images, the royals appear embracing on a boat, in front of a cloudy landscape. At first glance, they seem happy, but Mary's rigid posture has been interpreted as a sign of discomfort.
The Royal House has shared these images with the intention of showing unity, but many observers have noticed the lack of spontaneity. The displays of affection seem studied, carefully prepared for the camera. This has reinforced the idea that something isn't quite right between the monarchs.
Danes have closely followed every public appearance of the couple since the beginning of the year. Although the scandal has been pushed aside in the media agenda, it hasn't completely disappeared from the collective memory. That's why every gesture, every look, and every distance is analyzed in detail.
The queen has tried to keep an image of normality, but she hasn't managed to fully hide the tension that persists. The signs of discomfort are still present, and only time will tell if they manage to fully restore their relationship. Meanwhile, alarms have started ringing again in Denmark.
