As if the pressures of holding the royal family together weren’t enough, Princess Mary is said to be deeply shaken by a series of vicious online attacks – yet more fallout from the bitter family feud between Prince Frederik’s brother Prince Joachim and his wife Princess Marie.
According to reports coming out of Denmark, Mary, 51, has become “an object of online hate”, with the public taking to Instagram to write harsh comments about her since Queen Margrethe made the decision to strip Joachim and Marie’s children of their titles.
“Mary finally got them out of Denmark. Now she can be number 1 all the time,” one troll wrote, referring to the couple’s move to the US.

“She’s seen figures like the immaculate Princess of Wales rise and fall in favour, so she’s going to keep her head down and get on with her duties.”
Despite the online attacks, the Princess remains committed to her duties, with Mary set to travel to London to attend King Charles’ coronation next month.

Mary’s biggest concern is, of course, her four children – Christian, 17, Isabella, who turns 16 this week, and 12-year-old twins Vincent and Josephine.
“It’s understandable that some loyal fans of Joachim would feel betrayed, and she’s an easy target because of her profile, but Mary would hate for her children to get caught up in this family mess. None of it was her decision or theirs, and they don’t deserve to become targets,” the source adds.
“Thankfully, Mary has the support of the Queen, who is no stranger to controversies. This will blow over as her exemplary record of duties to the Crown continues.”
The Princesses main priority is her family.
