Now that "The Crown" is over, should Danish royal family dramas begin to emerge? The Queen of Denmark, Margrethe II made public the decision to abdicate, but widespread rumors say that there are other reasons behind this decision.
On December 31, 2023, Queen Margrethe II gave her annual address to the nation and announced her decision to abdicate in a few weeks. In the statement, she mentioned her longevity on the throne, almost over half a century, and the recent back surgery that seems to have worsened her health somewhat. The Queen, at the age of 83, hinted that it was time to settle down and let the new generation do their work. "I hope that the new royal couple will receive the same trust and love that you have shared with me," concluded the Queen of Denmark.
As reasonable as her speech seemed, the fact that this is the first Danish abdication in more than 500 years has raised many questions. The press already has a theory: She is doing this to save her son's marriage. In November 2023, there were rumors that Crown Prince Frederik had an extramarital affair with a Mexican-born philanthropist named Genoveva Casanova. The two were photographed together, but both denied the relationship.
"It is very likely that the queen took this decision because she would have been terrified of the breakdown of her son's marriage and the loss of the royal family. It would cause huge problems. The Queen has always seen the throne as an extraordinary asset," royal reporter Phil Dampier told The Telegraph.
"It just seems an extraordinary coincidence that she should make this sudden announcement just months after stories emerged of the Crown Prince allegedly having an extramarital affair," he said, adding, "They have come together as a family to come out. in this decision. The Queen still thinks they will work out their differences and it will save their marriage," the reporter concluded.
