Article about Princess Alexandra's new boyfriend from B.T., translated by me:
Alexandra met Martin behind the camera
Princess Alexandra’s new boyfriend, the 26 years old freelance photographer Martin Jørgensen, is definitely not a stranger to move among royals, even if he himself has no blue blood in his veins.
Together with his father, Jacob Jørgensen, who owns the film company JJ Film, he has helped with making a long row of films about the Royal Family.
Therefore he has also filmed Princess Alexandra several times, and in that way Alexandra and the young photographer have got to know each other.
Princess Alexandra was also the star in the programme “Alexandra and the children of the world”, where Martin Jørgensen as an assistant and sound guy, together with the rest of the crew followed Alexandra’s work as protector of UNICEF, when the princess travelled to Thailand to visit children affected by AIDS.
But JJ Film has also made the films “My home is my castle” and “Alexandra, Princess with the times”, where Martin Jørgensen has played a role the making of it.
Known each other long
So Martin Jørgensen has known Princess Alexandra for a long time, before she and Prince Joachim decided to part.
But when the sparks between the 41-year-old Princess Alexandra and the 26-year-old cameraman began to fly, neither the princess or the camera man has an answer to.
B.T. has the last few days tried to get a comment from Martin Jørgensen about the relationship to Princess Alexandra. But the young cameraman has obviously gone into hiding, in order not to have to answer any questions about his new girlfriend.
Little brother is quiet
Martin Jørgensen’s little brother, Mads Jørgensen, is very few worded when B.T. yesterday spoke to him outside the family business JJ Film, where he also works.
We would very much like to talk to Martin.
- I don’t think that is possible.
Where can we find him?
- Not here. I don’t think he wants to say anything. At least not now, says Mads Jørgensen before he hurries off to avoid answering any more questions about the affairs between his older brother and Princess Alexandra.
Neither Martin Jørgensen’s father Jacob Jørgensen has wished to answer if he expects that the romance between his son and the princess can cost JJ Film the good relationship it has to the Royal House, and thereby devastate the company which is very much built around the about 60 documentaries Jacob Jørgensen has made about them since 1998.
Before the 26-year-old photographer Martin Jørgensen seriously begun working for his father’s company, he was schooled as a commercial photographer by the photographer Jakob Mydtskov.
After that Martin went to Florence in Italy to work as a photographer. Later he moved to Rome, where he continued working.
But around a year ago, Martin Jørgensen returned to Denmark, where he has slowly begun to set up his freelance business. One of the clients is his own father, Jacob Jørgesen and JJ Film.
Martin Jørgensen was also with as a cameraman when JJ Film last summer went to Australia to make a documentary about Crown Princess Mary. A documentary that has brought in large sums of money for the small company JJ Film.
Worked with the Queen
Martin Jørgensen has also worked closely together with Princess Alexandra’s earlier mother-in-law, Queen Margrethe, when he was an assisted for the short film “The Snow Queen”, which was based on a H.C. Andersen adventure, where Queen Margrethe was involved as a costume designer.
Therefore Queen Margrethe has Alexandra’s new boyfriend clear in her memory, when she at a press meeting at the wince castle in France on Thursday, confirmed that she knew about the relationship between Alexandra and the young cameraman.
Martin Jørgensen has also taken pictures for Prince Henrik’s book about the couple’s wine castle in France, Château de Caïx.
