In 2000, Queen Frederik fell in love with his current wife, Queen Mary. Three years earlier he was in a relationship with another lady – and she has now spoken about her love.
At the beginning of the year, Frederik of Denmark was crowned king. Even before the change of throne, Margrethe II’s son made headlines with an alleged affair – and it hasn’t stopped since then.
Now an ex-girlfriend of the king is speaking out. As “Gala” and the Swedish magazine “Svensk Damtidning” report, Maria Montell spoke in a Danish podcast about the difficult sides of her relationship with Frederik. The now 55-year-old singer and the then prince were a couple in the late 1990s.
In the podcast “112 för brustna hjärtan” (in German: “112 for broken hearts”) she describes her experiences in detail. Maria Montell reported how difficult it was to make love public. “It’s terrible to have to stand up and announce to the entire Danish population that you’re in love with someone,” says Maria Montell in the podcast, according to “Svensk Damtidning.” During this time she felt judged by people she didn’t even know.
Maria Montell and Frederik of Denmark became a couple in 1997. However, she found it difficult to deal with the media attention. Nevertheless, she could not resist the charm of the then heir to the throne. “He did everything in his power to get me and I let myself get carried away,” she said.
Despite her turbulent past, Maria Montell only speaks positively about her ex-boyfriend. She emphasized that he was a fantastic person and very charming. After her relationship with Frederik, the singer fell in love with the film director Tomas Villum Jensen. She has been married to him since 2006. The couple has three children together.
