I like the fact that The Haral Sun starts the article with the words: "The book claims.........." and use the last half of the article to write about their own journalistic test of the claims.
A test that - not surprising to me - ends up refuting the claims:
....."the couple appear to maintain overwhelming public support. In a recent survey for Danish tabloid BT, 83 per cent of Danes thought Mary was doing a good job and 73 per cent believed she was ready to be queen. An earlier survey of 23,000 people in Denmark found Mary was the most popular member of the royal family. A vast majority of people surveyed also believed Frederik was ready to take over from his mother, Queen Margrethe, 69. And royal watchers argue that contrary to Villemann's claims, Frederik and Mary are genuinely close".
I like it when a newspaper is testing the validity of a source instead of just blindly retelling a story which might be nothing but fiction. That is what genuine journalism is about.
