Mary Donaldson speaks out for the first time after the photos of Federico of Denmark with Genoveva Casanova

It was one of the most anticipated moments: Princess Mary of Denmark was starring in her new project, Nature and Our Mind on Television. A documentary in which she talks about the impact of nature on mental health, but where two unprecedented moments were also experienced: the princess confessed to having suffered from depression, and spoke for the first time about how she felt after the photo scandal. her husband, Prince Frederick of Denmark, and Genoveva Casanova.

A project supported and promoted by the Danish royal house, in which the Australian speaks naturally about mental health, the importance of asking for help as soon as it is deemed necessary and how she deals with pain.

A reappearance of the princess that has not left anyone indifferent, since she can be seen talking about these topics with complete naturalness. "We all need help from time to time," she says, adding that it is "very important" not to let others define "what you are like." "This is what happens with pain. If you don't process it, it can become a complicated grief that affects your quality of life and your health."

The princess speaks out in the middle of a media storm after the escape of her husband, heir prince to the Danish throne, to Spain to meet the Mexican businesswoman Genoveva Casanova. Something that the Danes consider a full-fledged "betrayal", as well as a totally "irresponsible" act given her rank.

A situation that has produced deep regret in his wife, who also talks about how she manages the "pain." "Grief is something we carry with us," he explained, adding that for her, life is "failing and moving on," without letting others influence. "We think too much about what others think and feel. I wish we could get rid of that a little bit," she concluded.

From the Danish royal house they show all their support for Princess Mary, sharing a preview of this latest project on their social networks. Another solo appearance that follows the strategy they seem to have adopted in recent days, looking for how to slightly change Prince Frederick's own image and protocol strategy. The monarchy has shielded the institution, preserving its privacy as much as possible and carefully choosing its public appearances and statements.

The prince has another task on his hands, and that is to get everything back to normal with his wife, Princess Mary. Apparently, there is a plan in place to get the marriage back to normal in time for Christmas. The entire family plans to travel to the Royal Palace of Marselisborg, in Aarhus, to show that unity that they have not shown for four years.
