Princess Mary has hit an all-time low following a barrage of criticism for sending Prince Christian to school so young.
Eyebrows were raised over Mary’s controversial enrolment of her 17-month-old son, with cruel critics accusing the Princess of abandoning her son and not being able to cope with the demands of being a stay-at-home mum.
Insiders say the Princess burst into tears after learning of the backlash, especially as it hadn’t even been her decision to enrol Christian.
“Mary basically had no choice,” explains a palace insider, who says it was pressure to conform to Danish Royal protocol that forced the move. “Princes Nikolai and Felix did it,” the insider adds. “It’s normal in Danish society.”
Already suffering from feelings of isolation and loneliness as she nears her due date, this latest attack on the Princess has taken a serious toll on her emotional state. Palace staffers say she has been spending hours on the phone tearfully confiding to her family back home that she feels her fairytale life has become a nightmare.
