SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: CROWN Prince Frederik should not have married Mary Donaldson but stayed with his former flame, a sensational new book on the Danish royal family says.
Trine Villemann, a veteran royal reporter turned author, says the fairytale marriage between Prince Frederik and Princess Mary has come under strain as both try to cope with the increasing pressures of royalty and parenthood.
Ms Villemann believes the prince is not confident in his role as crown prince, does not want to be king and would have been better off if he had married "the true love of his life", former model Katja Storkholm, to whom he was secretly engaged in 1995.
