Queen Mary says she's 'overwhelmed' in her new role - as King Frederik utters one word that speaks volumes about their relationship after 'affair' rumors
Queen Mary of Denmark has admitted to feeling 'overwhelmed' since stepping up to the throne, following her husband's attempt to dispel 'affair' rumors in an interview.
The royal couple gave their first interview as King and Queen, expressing their emotions about succeeding Queen Margrethe, their acceptance, and their vision for the future.
During the interview, King Frederik stressed unity by consistently using 'we' instead of 'I.' He said, 'We have started our mission and our duties, symbolically marked by this action on the royal ship. It's quite special.'
Royal House commentator Jakob Steen Olsen suggests that the interview, which was delayed, indicates the couple's desire to move forward together after months of affair rumors. He believes their language indicates a desire to 'begin positively without uncomfortable questions or agendas.'
The scrutiny on their relationship intensified last November when photos surfaced of the then-Crown Prince in Madrid with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova. Since then, every photo of the King and Queen has been analyzed for clues about their relationship.
Despite the challenges, Queen Mary, who hails from Tasmania, admitted to feeling overwhelmed 'at times' in her new role but sounded confident about settling in after the transition period.
Reflecting on her husband's ascension to King, she described it as a beautiful and moving moment, expressing happiness and pride.
The couple plans to focus on their daily duties and traditional engagements before introducing their own influence as monarchs. Their interview coincided with the traditional visit to neighboring countries aboard the royal ship Dannebrog, where they appeared playful and engaged with fans.
Fans and commentators saw the interview as a positive step, noting the couple's united front and optimism for the future.
