While waiting for a car lift this morning I was watching an early morning tv program in which a journalist from one of our gossip magazines (forget which as I'm not too au fait with them) said that there was indeed a 'situation' growing between Mary and Marie and that Mary and Frederik would not be holidaying in Caix with the Queen because of it. It's a pity if dislike for Marie is keeping the family apart but even if true, there's no evidence that it's Mary who doesn't get along with Marie: it could be Frederik who's cavilling. Myself, I think that people should hide their dislike of others for the sake of family unity, but this happens, sadly.
The journalist also said that the prince and princess are off to New York in a month or two and will be meeting up with Charles and Camilla shortly after. |
really? Mary doesn't like marie?

A happy family where Marie and Mary all got along isn't news worthy...so it's common for the media to start these sort of rumours... sigh...

Like you, I take it all with a grain of salt until we know that there's a definite rift. If Frederik and Mary don't, in fact, holiday with the rest of the family at Caix, then we might believe that there's some substance to the rumours. As for pitting Mary against Marie - it's really no contest, is it? Mary is the Crown Princess, and that's that. Mary will always have the upper hand, if there is, in fact, any sort of competition. Let's all hope that it's just journalistic nonsense. |

Frederik and Mary never took their holiday in Caix at the same time as Joachim or the Queen&Henrik. And July is the holiday month for F&M, not August, since Frederik is usually Regent when the Queen takes her holiday in France. So, this piece about "not holidaying with the Queen" shows that the journalist doesn't know much about the DRF. AFAIK in the last couple of years July always has been devided between Joachim and Frederik and in August it's the Regent Couple's turn. This year F&M spend time in Croatia instead. So not being there when Marie was there actually means nothing at all. It has been done this way even before Marie arrived on the scene. |

I think that you speak a lot of good, plain, common sense, acdc1.

My question is: Why would Mary and Marie not get along?
What are their stories based on? |

Everyone hates Mary and vice versa

Both magazines in their heyday sold close to or over one million copies a week, now it's about half that. In other words, half of the people who previously bought Womans' Day and New Idea (popularly called 'No Idea') now give both a miss. |
Would this be the place to post such questions related to the minutiae of Mary's (and Fred's) daily lives? Because I always wonder about trivial matters that take place behind close doors that we as mere mortals do everyday without thinking or having to answer to anyone...but maybe the royals do? Things like packing suitcases, what to have for dinner...those sorts of things...Am I allowed to ask more? Is this the best place?
