Fred & Mary's Shock Split The Ring Is Off!

The Danish royals are said to be trialling a separation

- 

It should be the happiest time of her life after it was announced Princess Mary had been made regent but as she and Prince Frederick gear up for their new roles of king and queen the pressure is said to becoming all too much.

Palace insiders reveal the once loving pair have slowly been drifting apart, adding that 47-year-old Mary’s upcoming move to Switzerland is less about the kids and their schooling, but more about her ailing marriage and the desperate need for space from Frederik, 51.

ALL TOO MUCH

Last week heartbreaking photos emerged of the Tassie beauty being comforted by her son Prince Christian, 14, at Hermitage Palace.

While Mary struggled to hold back tears, Christian, and later his sister Josephine, eight, wrapped their arms around their distressed mum’s waist.
