Mary on Magazine Covers

[Zonk]

Carlota...perhaps your misunderstood me or I didn't make myself clear. My comments about Alexandra had nothing to that the fact that she is not admired, respected and loved by the people of Denmark. That is evident by the fact that she is invited to family events and the Queen did not take her title. Despite all those things and unless Frederick and Mary divorce..in the scheme of things she is still not going to be Queen of Denmark. My main point is this..the title and the focus of the article is just laughable that the future Queen would be in tears of two people trying to upstage her. And this is not arrogrance but simply a fact of life regarding their stations in the the DRF.

Mary is on the cover of this week's Women's Day. Wouldn't worry about the story, I thought it was total rubbish

JessRulz has got it right..the story is pure garbage, nothing more..that's one edition I certainly left on the shelf!

Our tabloids are disgusting.

I agree, the story is pure fabrication, a load of crap. In a way its flattering to think that they will grasp at straws to put Mary in the magazine, I just wish that they would come up with something that is close to being true. Where do they come up with this? Its embarrasing.

Probably because it catches people attention and makes them pick up the magazine and possibly buy it. "Princess Mary Blisfully Happy" as a headline doesn't really pack the same tabloid punch!

What Lizy has said is pretty true, many people wouldn't buy a magazine if it had "Mary's Fantastic Life" on the cover, week in week out, but they will if they see that there is some "gossip" on the cover about her, whether true or false

Here's this week's New Idea. Mary is in the bottom left corner. Sorry about the flash :o

Interesting old news-where do they get their sources from- made up i guess. Has anyone told Christian yet????:p

[flcty]

Well, Mary is not exactly on the cover (main story way) there is a small bit at the bottom of New Idea about Mary and her "Baby Shock". I think my mum is getting that issue of New Idea today :) .

Mum got Womans Day. It has really big colorful pictures from Bornholm. I was indeed shocked as the title suggested in Womans Day that Mary is pregnant with baby no.2.

could someone please tell me the story about Mary's "shattered fairytale" on woman's day shown above?

[JessRulz]

This week's New Idea and Women's Day. They both say Mary is pregnant with baby no.2, the New Idea's reasoning behind this is that Mary has worn two outfits she wore last year when she was pregnant (althought we didn't know) with Christian, and "she is not known to wear an outfit twice"!!

tinLy, the rough jist of the story was that cracks are starting to appear in Mary & Fred's marriage, and that Mary is homesick and lonely. And it brings up the "Nordic Imelda Marcos" thing on several occasions. They say that Mary is facing the heat about the blowing the budget alone because Fred is constanly away yatching. The closing line of the story is "Mary is yearning for the time when life was a whole lot simpler".
I doubt Mary would want to trade what she has with Fred and her beautiful baby boy for a simpler life!

Thanks for that:)

This thought had crossed my mind, briefly, too but it's probably the usual tabloid story telling rather than fact. As for Mary not being known to wear the same outfit twice; don't these journalists read The Royal Forums!? One look at the 'Mary recycles her clothes' thread would soon prove them wrong.:)

It's the 'silly season' for the media right now or, as we say in Danish, 'cucumber season'. Except, isn't it always the silly season for the hard-core German gossip mags

[Lady Jean]

Are you referring to the last cover posted? What does the cover in post 39 or its article say about Mary?

I'm not German, but as far as I can make it out the headline says 'Luxury scandal' and continues to say that the beloved and picture-pretty dream princess is facing still more criticism for her lifestyle. And asks how long she will be able to cope with it (leisten? withstand it - sorry not sure about this).
It's industrial holidays in Nothern Europe now - the royals are lying low as far as the media are concerned. In a week or two, the most far-fetched stories about them will probably begin to surface in DK as well - anything to make the rags sell!

I think this particular story started in winter or so, in tabloid Extrabladet, and has made it's way around the globe, pretty much - with Mary being compared to Imelda Marcos here and there... It's cucumber season - when you don't have anything new to write - you find something from older sources, or you make it up based on thin so-called evidence.
