Oh, you mean people make the mistake between Dutch and Danish in general? I thought you were stating that most Australian's make that mistake.
By all means, if you are talking in general terms, then I don't doubt it

Only Joachim, his parents, Marie, her parents and Niko and Felix were present at the engagement. Marie and Joachim simply attended the state of cousil earlier. Mary did not attend that, since she isn't a member of the state of counsil.

The headline of the cover:
Captured in marriage's hell. He has another...

The headline of the article:
It is Mary's hell.

(I hope, I translated it right!)

I send the article through a translationprogramm... It's a little bit funny, but maybe you can understand it...

Crown Prince Frederik cries itself with the loving out. Is he a cheat like once Charles?
Was everything peep and deceit? Is the love of the Danish crown Prince Frederik, 39, to Mary, 35, only a produced fairy tale? Did its tears at the altar apply not at all for it separate its forbidden love? That and still much more is located in the book "1015 Copenhagen K".
Written of the outstanding Hofberichterstatterin Trine Villemann. A book like a bomb.
It destroyed with an impact the apparent idyll at the Danish yard and it reveals a terrible marriage hell for Mary, comparably only with that, which had to experience princess Diana.
More to it now into "Die Aktuelle"!

It's hell for Mary.

CP Frederick is crying his heart out at his lover's. Is he a cheat like Charles used to be?
Was everything fake? Is the Danish CP Frederik's love for Mary just a fairytale enacted for the public? Were his tears at the wedding ceremony not for her but for his forbidden love? This and more is claimed in the book 1015 Kopenhagen K, written by the distinguished reporter at the court Trine Villeman. A book like a bomb. It singlehandedly destroys the seeming idyll at the Danish court. And it reveals that marriage must be hell for Mary, a situation only comparable to that Princess Diana had to face.


Oh, well. Sounds like a lot of rubbish to me.

Aha. Could it be that only the presstext of the book was copied? Doesn't sound like "Die Aktuelle" had some real news.

Die Aktuelle isn't actually known for having a lot of reliable news.

No it isn't rubbish! I can't be rubbish, because one of Germany's Top-Royal-Experts works for "Die Aktuelle" and he knows the Danish Crownprincecouple and Danish Queen personally. So it must be the truth!!!

BELIEVE ME!!!

BELIEVE ME!!!

And this Top-Royal-Expert not only knows them personally. He is actually a very close relative - so I have heard from a dear friend of mine, who had an onckle, whos late mother used to the maid og someone who was even closer relater to the Queen

I can't open most of the pics, unfortunately. I wonder whether they look as blissfully hap...oh, sorry, unhappy as in the ANP Beeldbank picture.
Oh, well. Time will tell.

the Ritz moment in Woman's Day

The article is very harsh on Mary's behaviour and what it calls "lack of class":

"Who was the tall, slender young woman standing in the middle of the dance floor weeping? The guests in teh ballroom of the posh Ritz hotel in Paris were buzzing. They could all see that the elegantly clad woman was seriously upset

... ... ... [see later post for article summarized!]

"Mary is struggling with Frederik's past", says one of the Crown Prince's closest friends.




Can Mary really have been so totally unversed in how to behave socially? She had been hanging around society in Sydney for years, and surely she will have known better?

"The evenin had started so well for Austrlaian Mary Donaldson."


I too am shocked by this - can Mary really have been so totally unversed in how to behave socially? She had been hanging around society in Sydney for years, and surely she will have known better?

Personally, I took the article with a grain of salt considering where it came from. I only believe WD and NI when their stories are made of real events (like christenings, official engagements, etc.). I highly doubt Mary stood in the middle of the dance floor at The Ritz during a party bawling her eyes out

story reposted as a partial summary ...

Here's what the nasty WD article says (summary of two columns out of a 12-column article):

It reports that Mary stood in the middle of the floor crying; that guests thought it was very odd.
It describes Mary's behaviour as a "fit of jealousy" because Fred had danced twice with Bettina Odum (with her fiance happily just nearby) and because the music was loud, his lips were close to Bettina.
The article says several attempts were made to calm her, and that a "circle of sympathisers in stilettoes" gathered around Mary.
The article reports that Bettina approached Mary but Mary blanked her, in front of the other guests.
The article goes on to say Mary could have shrugged off the episode, but instead she "ostentatiously boycotted" a breakfast put on by the hosts.
A guest is quoted as saying Mary's behaviour was incredibly childish and rude to her hosts, and that giving the host the cold shoulder showed a total lack of class.
The article insinuates that there is a "Mary camp" and a "Frederik camp" and that Frederik's friends, being intelligent, strong Danish women, would be "too much for commoner Mary to deal with".

All in all, the article is full of insinuations, and indicates a very worrying shift in attitude by the glossies in Australia. Worst of all, it implies that there is a Diana/Charles-style war going on between Mary's so-called sympathisers, and the Danish Royal Family.

This is going to be a difficult issue for Mary to negotiate - but let's assume she'll hold tight and sit through the embarassment. If she had drunk a bit too much champagne that night, and was feeling a little overwhelmed by the society she was in - who could be surprised? She's done well.
