Is Margareeta, who abdicates, covering up her son’s betrayal? A clear view from an expert

Royal expert Sanna-Mari Hovi considers the claims.

In the last few days, there has been speculation in the international media about whether Margaret of Denmark abdicated the crown because of the betrayal scandal in November.

For example, People speculatesthat behind everything was just the mother’s desire to keep her son Frederik’s marriage together and cover up his mess.

In December, it was rumored that Crown Prince Frederik is cheating on his wife Mary, as he was photographed in Spain spending time alone with the reality TV star. Frederik also left the woman’s apartment late at night alone, which further fueled the rumors.

Royal Expert Sanna-Mari Hovi is of the opinion that Margareeta would not give up her crown because of the commotion.

– Personally, I absolutely do not think that there is any point in it. If a king or queen abdicates, it is truly extraordinary. Especially in the Nordic countries, where it hasn’t really been done at all.

– I don’t believe for a second that he would have given it up just because of the fear of cheating. yes, this decision has been thought about for a long time and it is quite a coincidence that such a noise hit at this point, Hovi reflects.

Hovi cannot say whether the rumors are true, but in his opinion, Frederik’s actions were careless in the age of camera phones and social media.

– It was kind of a stupid thing to do, whatever it was. However, that’s not why you start changing the ruler.

– Mary is certainly aware that her life is under a magnifying glass and reading such news is difficult. I still don’t think that Mary would go anywhere because of this, says Hovi.

Rumors about the family have not been commented on.

Frederik and Australian-born Mary got married in 2004. They have four children together. Frederik and Mary will be crowned monarchs on January 14.
