I agree with you on Isabella.
The point is that it's not difficult to criticise and disagree without being spiteful or offensive.
To suggest that CP Mary was indifferent to the economic sufferings of ordinary people and suggesting that she was another Marie-Antoinette (all deduced from a photograph!) was beyond reasonable and fair comment, in my opinion, and worthy of its own comment.
Well said, indeed, Lumut. I agree with you 100%. I am a Mary fan, but even She cannot look great in everything she wears. She is only human, after all.
How are they "flaunting" their wealth? Should they be only photographed nude from now on, with no clothes or jewels so there can be no chance of them being shot wearing something that is expensive? Maybe they should only wear clothes from Walmart from now on.
As soon as they get public they are under observation. Also people don't only observe the number of engagements, interviews, trips abroad or payments - they also observe the quality of it. Low quality = low payment / high quality = hig payment.
If that's what you think, and given that Mary and Frederik have been consistently ranked amongst the most popular/well thought-of Danes by their countrymen, what you're actually saying is that they deserve a raise.
People often don't like someone who isn't a controversial figure, by nature. Mary was a nonentity who appears to have no skeletons in the closet, is happily married with a Crown Prince, has two children and is now the expectant mother of twins. From the time of her marriage it was suggested as being somewhat of a modern day "fairytale", and when you look at it, it all does appear to be rather perfect from the outside. Some people don't like this.
She's much beloved in Denmark, is a patroness for fashion, travels the world in her representorial role, meets some fascinating people, lives between a palace or two and has the best of the best of most things. Some people don't like this.
And then you have people who just need someone to dislike, so why not right? There really appears to be nothing that would otherwise make someone dislike Mary, but maybe (?) that's why she finds herself the subject of such vitriol.
This question might have been answered already but why exactly does the Danish Crown Princely couple pose for Vogue? I understand this is not the first time they pose for Vogue, well that's the case for Mary (Australian Vogue, right?) Do they want more publicity or perhaps capture the clients of Vogue? Or something else entirely? I hope we got more pictures but I must say Vogue photoshoots are always good.
