2024 starts regularly for Prince Frederick of Denmark. After a few difficult months due to the gossip surrounding the alleged extramarital relationship that Genoveva Casanova would have (which was born from some photos of both of them walking through the streets of Madrid), the waters had returned to normal and the situation was calmer. . However, terrible news has ended the calm.
Just a few days away from becoming the King of Denmark (the event will be held next Sunday, January 14), Mary Donaldson’s husband has had to face the loss of one of his best friends, the film producer and director Michael Haslund-Christensen.
Haslund-Christensen died on December 22 at the age of 58, but his funeral was not held until January 6. The future king attended the meeting to say goodbye for the last time to his great friend, who will no longer be able to accompany him on one of the most important days of his life.
Federico also wanted to be present to provide emotional support to the deceased’s widow (Pernille Haslund-Christensen), his two children (Anton and Fridtjof), his sisters (Charlotte and Louise) and his mother (Marianne). It should be noted that the relationship that united the filmmaker with the prince came from his father, Søren Haslund-Christensen, who was field marshal of the Royal House for 14 years (1989-2003). The man died in 2021, at 88 years of age.
“Michael was an artist of life endowed with curiosity and a desire to explore new paths, and he managed to combine his desire to travel with his cinematographic work and films shot in many corners of the world,” said the family of the deceased when it was made public. the death of the filmmaker.
His attendance at his friend’s funeral would have been the last time that the future king of Denmark appeared publicly before officially obtaining the title. Next Sunday at noon, the prince will leave the Palace of Frederick VIII with his wife and head to Christiansborg Castle, where the Council of State will be held in which the abdication of Queen Margaret in favor of Queen Margaret will be made official. of his son Federico.
This latest public appearance of the Danish prince has improved his public image, which had been tarnished for a few months due to the hundreds of international headlines that spoke of his alleged infidelity.
