In fact, on May 5, Mary of Denmark and King Frederik once again became the center of attention. This happened after the publication of images taken during the commemorative event for the 80th anniversary of Denmark's liberation from the Nazi regime.

According to this outlet, the Danish royals appeared cold, without exchanging gestures of affection at any time. In addition, they spent much of the time with their backs to each other, which reinforced the perception of distance.

"They seemed distant. Physical contact? No luck. They're back to back and their eyes barely meet," this German newspaper stated at the time.

However, this is not the first time Mary of Denmark and King Frederik have been involved in a controversial scene that fuels rumors of a crisis within their marriage.

Although some analysts suggest that it might simply be a period of arguments or occasional disagreements, it is very evident that the signs of tension are recurring.

According to the aforementioned outlet, in most of their recent public appearances, Mary of Denmark and King Frederik barely look at each other or exchange gestures of complicity. Despite all the commotion that has arisen around them, the monarchs decided to face the media after the press speculation.

So much so that, a few hours after these rumors were published, the monarchs reappeared together before the media. All this to fulfill a very important objective: to deny any version that would cast doubt on the strength of their marriage.
