7) If your mother has a problem with your wife, it is your job to intervene and try to fix it.

Frederik knew of the Queen's unease and knew meeting Mary officially, if secretly, would be helpful. He had to prove that Mary was not only a catch for him but that she would put in the hard work to be a truly wonderful Queen for Denmark. This time, it was not a passing fancy, a fling with another party girl.

By the time of the fateful meeting in April 2002, Frederik had been courting Mary for almost a year and a half, and she had only just moved to Europe. Frederik respected Mary's steady hard work and go-slow approach enough to decide the time was right for the Queen to also fall in love with Mary.

8) There can be no divided loyalties. Your loyalty needs to be with your wife.

Poor Diana could not count on Charles's undivided loyalty. Mary and Frederik are a team, a united one at that.

They plan to be hands-on with their new son, Prince Christian. Already, Frederik has publicly declared his desire to give his son a warmer childhood than that which he remembers.
