Had either party behaved abominably before/during the divorce, I very much doubt that either set of parents would have acted the way they did. I doubt Mr. and Mrs. Manley would have stayed at Schackenborg, and I doubt Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik would have let Alexandra stay at Amalienborg, even if it is a fairly large place.
We don't know what caused the divorce. Joachim hasn't spoken about it, and neither has Alexandra. To join the media in their harmful speculations certainly won't help their children or the situation. Joachim or Alexandra may choose to embellish on the situation when their lives are more ordened, in an official biography, or something like that. (I think Joachim's about due for one, as Alexandra's got at least two...)
A few days ago Martin Jørgensen was reported to have been seeing the princess for two years, later they found an article with old girlfriends he had had this past year...
What the media seems to conveniently forget is that it is possible for men and women to be just friends/aquaintances. Sometimes this remains platonic, and sometimes it blossoms into more.

I have never posted on this board before, but I just have to say that I agree wholeheartedly with your statement. As far as I am aware, Alexandra has always behaved impeccably; and as to whether she should have waited longer after her divorce was final before dating or not, she is now legally single and free to date whomever she pleases. One of my pet peeves has always been people who use the excuse of separation to start seeing other people (IMHO, you're not divorced until you're divorced!) , and the plain and simple fact is that no one here really knows anything about the private lives of these two people.
