@Mavis Fraser Oh, "you will hear that the countess second marriage is a japerdy" (your spelling, not mine). From where, some tabloid? Did you know that the tabloids also declared she was pregnant at her second wedding? Well, where's the baby? Congratulations, Joachim. Dropped 40 points to 44.6% and his new wife scored 36.6%. Henrik dropped 12% in 4 years, but dropping 40 points is a thorough repudiation. Marie behaved shamelessly in the pre-engagement period, granting so many interviews and posing endlessly for the cameras. She even signed her autograph for a tabloid. You can see the picture in the threads (I hope it's still there.)What royal girlfriend signs her autograph? Mary managed to live in Denmark for a year without talking to the media.

Let’s not make excuses for Joachim and Marie. It is clearly evident Marie and Joachim had an affair while he was married to the countess. Any kindness he showed the Countess and her family after the divorce and up to that time is probably, in my opinion, due to him wanting her to go quitely. The man has no brains and no heart. If he could not scarfice ”his own happiness” for the Countess and their two sons, then how can be expected to help lead Denmark?! No wonder he scored alow!

If you look at the similarities of the Princesses – Both born in February, both became engaged in October, both married in May,had a child in May…….. Princess Marie looks like Princess Mary.???………….perhaps Joachim holds a candle to Princess Mary but I hope he really loves Princess Marie as we know what happened to Princess Diana

Prince Joachim allowed Alexandra’s parents to live at the palace even when she had moved out of their home, her parents were still living at their son-in-law’s palace way into the time when he was about to announce his engagement to Maria. Joachim is a farmer and has employeea
he is a responsible person. I wonder if Princess Alexandra’s parents paid rent while living there? wheather or not it was a gracious thing for their son-in-law to do. I do not think that they are living with this present son-in-law and their daugtjer. Some people see only one side of a coin Joachim is a very busy person he has three children to maintain and a new wife.

I do not think Joachim treated his wife in a shameful way as a matter of fact his parent treated Alexandra like their own daughter since Queen Margaratte did not have a daughter Alaxendra became the one. On the other hand unfortunately like princess Diana and Joachim went through adeleasant in their late twenty. After marriage.

Dearest Biridget: Thank you for understanding my views, mark my words; in the near future you will hear that the countess second marriage is a japerdy, (excuse my spelling). As for Joachim marrying someone who looks like his sister-in-law (younger brothers like to copy from their elder brothers). (between us) Some people are good at comaflauge, Alexandra at some point could not cope with Royal Protocal. I like to be fair. Joachim was 26 years old when he married give him some credit.

@Mavis Fraser You are correct Mavis that the Prince is not the sole responsible party for the break up of his first marriage. However, like most men, he is about 80% responsible.

@Mavis Fraser Mavis you are correct. There are no saints on Earth. Your point is well taken. However, I find it strange that the Prince would marry someone who so closely resembles his sister in law. You are correct that he did make the countess of Frederiksborg famous, indeed.

Did anyone thought about praising Prince Joachim for marrying an older woman and making her known to the world. adding Princes and Duchess to her resume . We are imperfect beings he will learm from his mistakes like everyone else.
