As Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark prepares to ascend the throne on January 14 and become King Frederick a better time.
After photos emerged of Crown Prince Frederik's night out with Genoveva Casanova in Madrid in early November, the Danish royal family was shocked when the Mexican socialite was forced to issue a statement strongly denying any suggestion of a romantic affair.
Since then, Crown Prince Frederik, 55, and Crown Princess Mary, 51, who married in 2004 after meeting in a bar in Australia during the Sydney Olympics, have put on a united front and carried out their royal duties with a business-as-usual principle . attitude.
However, mother-of-two Genoveva, 47, cuts a much more mysterious figure as she has only been spotted walking her dogs a few times in northern Spain.
Spanish magazine Lectureswho first reported Genoveva and Crown Prince Frederik's night out in Madrid, claims she also spent time in London with her two children before returning to the Spanish capital for Christmas – and for avid royal watchers: an old television interview that was repeated last weekend has attracted attention.
Genoveva Casanova said in a TV interview that resurfaced on Spanish channel La 2 that she loves deeply and believes strong romantic love is 'worth the fall'
Lecturas reports that the old interview, which was repeated on the evening of December 29 on La 2, was posted by Genoveva on her social media channels.
As reported by LecturesSpanish TV channel La 2 repeated an interview recorded at Genoveva's home in Mexico, in which she opened up about her love life – including her divorce from Cayetano Martínez de Irujo with whom she remains in a close relationship.
She revealed that she considers herself a romantic person who loves with intensity and said that if things don't work out, it's “worth the fall” because she has flown so high while in love.
While the comments are not new, Genoveva reportedly drew attention to the repeated TV interview on her social media accounts – in some of her first moves since her night out with Crown Prince Frederik in Madrid.
The socialite was reportedly hiding in San Sebastian in the Palacio de Arbaizenea, which belongs to her ex-husband's family
However, the socialite added that even though she loves to love, her platonic relationships mean the most to her, revealing that her friends will always take precedence over her romantic relationships.
Elsewhere in the interview, Genoveva reflected on her marriage to the Spanish author, with whom she shares two children.
After the marriage ended and the divorce was finalized in 2007, Genoveva said it felt like a “defeat” in her life, but added that she let herself feel the heartbreak.
The resurfaced interview comes after reports that the Mexican socialite took cover at her ex-husband's home, the Palace of Arbaizenea, in San Sebastian, as the fallout from the release of the photos continued.
Photos taken in November showed the socialite, who was married to Cayetano Martínez de Irujo for two years, wearing a gray hoodie and a dark wrap coat as she walked down the street and talked on the phone while walking her dogs.
Spanish magazine Hola! reported that she had stayed in the mansion, which was previously owned by her ex-mother-in-law, the Duchess of Alba and left to her son Cayetano Martínez de Irujo.
This magazine reported that Genoveva goes to San Sebastian when she wants to “disconnect” from public life.
It also reported that the socialite and her ex have “excellent” terms, meaning she can stay at his family properties whenever she wants.
After photos of her night out with Crown Prince Frederik surfaced, a Spanish TV presenter said last week that sources had told her that Genoveva had “gone into hiding” and switched off her phone.
Susanna Griso said on Espejo Público: “Her friends have told me that she is having a very difficult time.
“She is currently in hiding and has turned off her cell phone because she doesn't want anyone to call her.”
Photos of Genoveva and the Danish king's upcoming night out in Madrid surfaced in Lecturas in November and were said to have been taken on October 25.
The magazine reported that the pair had attended an exhibition together, before walking through El Retiro Park and returning to her apartment to change before emerging a few hours later in dining clothes, to go to a restaurant in the city to go.
The magazine claims the Crown Prince dined with mother-of-two Genoveva at El Corral de la Moreria that evening, with the pair leaving the restaurant at 1am.
Following reports of the night out, Genoveva took to social media to condemn 'malicious' rumors of a romantic relationship between herself and the Danish royal family.
A statement from the socialite said: 'I categorically deny the statements indicating a romantic relationship between Prince Frederick and me.'
She added: “Any statement of this type not only completely lacks the truth, but also maliciously misrepresents the facts.
“This is already in the hands of my lawyers, who will take care of the relevant steps to protect my rights to honor, truth and privacy.”
