There's no shortage of queens as queen consorts. Plenty of queens to go around! |

Queen Margarethe is/was a heavy smoker who at one point was up to three (three!) packs a day. By all accounts, she still smokes. And she's 83. While not unknown, it's still unusual to have such a smoking history and make it to 83 without developing COPD or emphysema or lung cancer. I do wonder if there's other health problems in the background that aren't being revealed and was the main reason for the abdication?
In 2016 she gave an interview in which she plainly stated she would die on the throne because that was how it was always done. So she's clearly changed her mind in recent years. |
Except they are real people, not characters on a tv show. |
| Is there any possibility that he could not have cheated and this was blown out of proportion? I ask because he is such a public figure who is used to the cameras around him. Why would he be so stupid to get caught? |
Maybe his paramour set him up, wouldn't be the first time. And who knows what's been going on with his marriage. |
He wouldn't be the first high profile figure to let their guard down and get caught. not going to be the last either |
My mom smoked a pack a day from 17 until 91. No COPD, emphysema or lung cancer. |
Highly doubtful he had an affair. They have people around them who DON’T allow them to let their guard down. |

That’s so not true. If that’s the case, why did the people around him let him stay at his female friend’s apartment? They had to know the optics of that even if nothing was happening. |
And royal staff cannot TELL the king what to do. They can only advise. |
Like that ever stopped Charles and Juan Carlos. Their handlers’ job is serve their clients needs, not act as the morality police. |
Exactly. This wasn't innocent. He just didn't care. I bet he's done this many times before with Geneveva and evaded them for this long so he felt comfortable. |

| Frederick’s younger brother was also reported to have a wandering eye and allegedly cheated on his first wife, so he’s just carrying on the family tradition. |
