Jealousy or what?

Post by snoopysue »

On saturday the Danish Crown Prinsess Mary gave birth to twins.

I was checking to see how big the media coverage was outside of Denmark, and came across some blogs where they were really slagging off Mary.
Amongst other things they were saying that she was a lazy gold digger, that the marriage was in trouble and that these twins could only be the product of fertility treatment.
Living in Denmark, we have heard nothing but praise for Prinsess Mary - she has learned the language, she works as hard if not harder than other members of the Royal family. Her foundation works to reduce bullying in schools and domestic violence. Whenever you see this family together they appear (almost) like any other family with small children. Prince Frederik regulary picks up the kids from nursery...on his bike! And there is no sense of their mariage being in trouble, just seeing the grin (ear to ear) on Frederik's face after the birth was enough to convince me that he loves his wife and all of their four children.
The Danish Royals are a lot more casual than most of the other european royal familes, and are well loved in Denmark. If there is any critisism it is usually aimed at Prince Frederik's younger brother (he can seem a bit stuffy and snobby), and their father Prince Henrik, who's danish is marked by a very pronounced french accent despite having a good vocabulary.

These people who slag the Danish Royal family off, seem to be doing it anonamously, and it just seems to be sour grapes and jealousy - no evidence to back their accusations up at all.
It just makes me think that the individuals concerned are jealous and nothing more.

I for one would hate to have Mary's job, I'd never cope with the stress or the attention, so I can only admire her.

Princess Sheila has been all over the newspapers for the last week.

If she was a Gold Digger there were far bigger catches in her native land!

Good luck to them. They look like a genuine loving couple to me.

Prince Willie's marriage is going to be on at 8:00PM my time.

Luckily there is a footy match on at the same time :P
