For Queen Mary of Denmark, last week was another humiliating one spent without her husband, as she dutifully smiled and waved while attending three local events on her own.
Beginning with the 75th anniversary of the Freedom Museum on April 3, the brave mother-of-four continued to fly solo a few days later at the opening of a Copenhagen deer park. Then on April 9, she put on a stunning display in a royal blue power suit, in defiance of the relentless speculation that all isn't right in the marriage of Denmark's king and queen.
Friends say Mary, 52, is determined to not let those rumours sway her from her duties, however palace insiders are still wondering just how much more the Aussie-born queen can take.
WHERE'S FRED?
Mary hasn't been seen at a public event with King Frederik, 55, since March, when the couple attended an exhibit at the Amalienborg Museum in Copenhagen, but speculation about their marriage has now hit fever pitch after Mary's three-in-arow solo appearances.
