Crown Princess MaryandCrown Prince Frederikput on a united front on the same day that a socialite denied romance rumors with the future king.
Crown Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik smiled as they arrived, and the future monarch put his hand on his wife’s back as they walked into the museum.
And in a subtle message, Crown Princess Mary accessorized with a necklace featuring the initial “F.” She wore the piece of jewelry nodding to her husband before on several occasions, including at King Charles' coronation in May.

Denying the buzz, Casanova toldHola!, “I flatly deny the statements that suggest a romantic relationship between Prince Frederick and me. Any statement of this type is not only completely untrue but also distorts the facts in a malicious manner. This is already in the hands of my lawyers, who will take care of the pertinent steps to protect my right to honor, truth and privacy.”
Dagens.com reported that Casanova, who was born in Mexico and is based in Spain, previously had a royal romance of her own. The socialite was previously married to Cayetano Martínez, an Olympic equestrian and the current Duke of Arjona.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary celebrated 19 years of marriage in May and first connected through an unexpectedmeet-cute.
They met at a bar in Sydney, Australia in 2000, where Prince Frederik was visiting for the Summer Olympics. Mary Donaldson, an Australian advertising executive, found herself chatting to “Fred” and instantly hit it off.
“Something clicked,” Princess Mary later explained in a 2005 interview. “It wasn’t the fireworks in the sky or anything like that, but there was a sense of excitement.”
Shortly after, Mary found out that she was talking to the Crown Prince of Denmark, heir to the 1,000-year-old Danish throne.
“The first time we met, we shook hands,” she recapped of their introduction. “I didn’t know he was the prince of Denmark. Half an hour later, someone came up to me and said, ‘Do you know who these people are?’ "
