Royal fans claim Queen Mary of Denmark has played favorites with her children after allowing her youngest daughter Princess Josephine to attend the royal hunt as her special guest.
The 13-year-old princess’s appearance at the hunt came days after she was spotted on an Australian beach alongside her glamorous 52-year-old mother. His twin brother Vincent was also invited on the trip.
The beloved Australian-born queen could be seen smiling at her teenage daughter as they rode in the carriage and stood on the balcony for the popular hunt.
The Queen attended the iconic Hubertusjagt, held at the Hermitage Palace in Dyrehaven, to present her honorary award.
The annual hunt has 160 riders chasing the “fox”, which today has been replaced by two experienced riders and is always held on the first Sunday in November.
The ‘fox’ is followed through hedges and water features throughout the park and follows a 13km route.
The event, which dates back to the 20th century, marks the end of the Danish hunting season and attracts around 40,000 spectators.
Queen Mary became patron of the Hubertus Hunt event following the death of her father-in-law, Prince Henrik, in 2018, when she was still crown princess.
Royal fans claim Queen Mary of Denmark has played favorites with her children after allowing her youngest daughter Princess Josephine to attend the royal hunt as her special guest.
The 13-year-old smiled alongside her mother as they watched the famous race unfold.
The teenager’s appearance was a surprise for the guests since it was not published in the official family calendar.
This year’s search came just days after the first anniversary of the ‘Madrid scandal’, where her husband, then Crown Prince, was photographed alone in Spain with his friend, the glamorous Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova.
At the time, the images sparked romance rumors that Genoveva was quick to deny and which the Danish Palace refuses to address.
Queen Mary made headlines on the anniversary when she appeared on Brontë Beach in Sydney, Australia. His little daughter at his side.
The next day, the glamorous royal was spotted on Balmoral Beach, this time with friends.
Queen Mary was in Australia for her niece’s wedding. Her youngest son, Prince Vincent, was also on the secret holiday, although he was not photographed with his mother until they were seen leaving the country.
Meanwhile, King Frederick was organizing his own hunt at Gludsted Plantage. The first as king of Denmark.
His decision to go hunting on the anniversary generated controversy because it was supposedly there where he met his friend Genoveva.
26 guests participated in the King’s first royal hunt, including primary producers, politicians and members of the court.
Queen Mary presents the prize to the winner of the hunt, which marks the end of the season.
The couple’s relationship has been under scrutiny for 12 months.
While many royal watchers wondered why the couple decided to spend the first anniversary of the scandal apart.
Others begged to “leave the couple alone.”
‘There’s a reason the rearview mirror is so small and the windshield so big. Where you are going is much more important than what you left behind. Apparently this couple gets this,” one fan said.
“Unless you were hiding under the bed, you don’t know what happened,” said another.
‘He is a Royal King and can do whatever he wants. “She is not Danish and comes from a commoner family,” said a third.
Some simply “felt sad” for the royals.
“Old Mary has been looking miserable for over a year, she has the same look in her eyes as Charlene of Monaco,” said one man.
