What happened between Genoveva and Frederik?

Spanish publication Lecturas claimed last year that Frederik cheated on Mary with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova during a solo trip to Spain.

Frederik and Genoveva attended a Pablo Picasso exhibition together in Madrid, the publication also claims they went into her apartment building separately, both emerging two hours later before getting into the same car.

The pair left in the same car, with the then Crown Prince flying home to Denmark the following morning.

"Any statement of this type not only completely lacks the truth but also misrepresents 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 honour, truth and privacy."
