'This is already in the hands of my lawyers, who will take care of the pertinent steps to protect my right to honour, truth and privacy.' The presenter explained: 'These are exclusive meetings, where you have to pay a lot of money to attend. All of the royals and children of the major families are there. The trips are organised mostly in Germany and Austria.'
But only months after the couple were thrust into the limelight following Frederik's visit to Spain, they became the King and Queen of Denmark. British royal author Phil Dampier, also an expert on European monarchies, said: 'I think Margrethe may have worried that their marriage was in trouble and therefore she had to act.
Frederik and Mary married on May 14, 2004 at Copenhagen Cathedral, with the newly minted Crown Princess opting for a beautiful gown by Danish designer Uffer Frank and a veil first used by Crown Princess Margaret of Sweden in 1905 Both experts added that the first year following a scandal is often the most difficult and things should get easier for the royal couple.However, the pair were spotted together just last week as they visited German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and First Lady Elke Büdenbender in Berlin.
In early 2003, Frederik's mother Queen Margrethe publicly acknowledged the relationship and the couple announced their engagement at Amalienborg Castle later that year on October 8.
