Nina Klinker Jorgensen, at Aarhus University, where he was studying political science while she was studying law. If we stick to the rhetoric that prevailed in the social chronicles of those years, an eruption arose between them.
Their relationship began to fall apart when she decided to start a career in acting (without much success, by the way), but it didn’t take long for Federico to forget her. We immediately saw it on the model’s arm
Malou Aamundwith which he dated until 1993, because the scandal came between them.
On New Year’s Eve 1992, the model was driving the prince’s car and was arrested for doing so under the influence of alcohol. She was taken to the police station and when the news broke, the Royal Family issued a statement apologizing for their behaviour. In parliament, he was even asked to renounce his dynamic rights and his mother sent him to study at Harvard. Game over.
However, the great danger to the claims of Queen Margrethe of Denmark was the Danish lingerie model.

How he met Mary Donaldson in Sydney (and fell in love)
Chance wanted Frederick of Denmark to meet Mary Donaldson in a pub. Prince introduced himself as Fred, and she explained that he was an advertising executive. It was a coup de foudre, with the French describing falling in love instantly as Mary herself admitted in an interview in 2005. “Something clicked. It wasn’t the fireworks in the sky or anything like that, but there was excitement,” he exclaimed.
When the romantic relationship began, Mary Donaldson took the logical steps to become a (surprise) princess. In 2002, he moved to Copenhagen,
converted to the Lutheran Church and learned Danish, a complex language. They announced their engagement in 2003 and married the following year in Copenhagen Cathedral. Margaret of Denmark’s tricks didn’t work…
Queen Margarita was always demanding with the partners of her children. /
The German journalist Alexander von Schönburg, Count of Schönburg-Glauchau, gave a good account, in wonderful terms, of the differences between Queen Margrethe of Denmark and Mary Donaldson in the book Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Kings, But Don’t Dare ask.
In this bestseller, he said that Queen Margrethe of Denmark had organized a party for her son in which
summoned a dozen aristocrats which he considered suitable to play the role of the princess. However, Frederick of Denmark would have noticed his mother’s maneuver and this only strengthened the ties that now became his wife.
The differences eased and their relationship improved to such an extent that Queen Margarita, with the support of the Council of State, appointed her daughter-in-law as regent, in the event that she had to fulfill these functions as head of state.

The horizon for Prince Federico seems to be favorable, since the institution he represents has a high approval rate, although he started at the age of 50, calling Queen Margarita to give up her son oldest. Which does not seem, at the moment, to be taken into account.
