Yes, the DM still flogging that dead horse, as is usual with them, ie take no notice at all of any other royal families in the world unless there's some hint of a scandal brewing. And then they get onto it faster than a rat up the proverbial drainpipe. And that particular 'scandal' has been dead in the water for weeks, mixing my metaphors here!

Mary knows exactly what Fred is about. He's got the mindset of a twenty year old when it comes to females and probably the m.o. of one as well! In fact, CP Christian appears more mature than his father.

However Mary has known him now for nearly a quarter of a century so none of it perturbs her. She probably just rolls her eyes and carries on with her usual activities until it all blows over, and it always does. Many women are married to men like that. Fred may mature when he's about eighty but I wouldn't count on it!

None of the adult working members of the Danish RF do, though. Denmark is a very small country and the number of engagements carried out each year are minute in comparison to other royal Houses, except perhaps the Japanese monarchy in a country which has a much larger population and occupies a more symbolic role since WW2. Japanese RF members could in theory undertake dozens more engagements than they do.

However, in very small countries like Denmark and Norway there aren't too many organisations to visit more than once a year or places to open (unless they follow the Monaco royals and begin opening bars and restaurants.)

Naturally,ordinary citizens don't want to fork out their tax money on people they don't see very often and it's true that there has been grumbling since Fred's accession that the Regent Couple have been rarely seen. However, they forget I think, that Queen Margarethe still needs an income and staff and Christian is now 18. He'll be taking on royal duties and taking on roles in the hierarchy soon enough.
