Frederik VIII and Queen Lovisa

Frederik VIII reigned for only six years, from 1906 until 1912. He and Lovisa spent four decades as Crown Prince and Crown Princess, and this presented them with some special challenges, not least as regards their relationship with the rest of the royal family, which was strained. In several ways Frederik and Lovisa were individuals whose behaviour was at odds with previously existing patterns, and neither the Danish royal family nor the public always viewed this in a positive light. In his efforts to meet the populace on its own terms, Frederik VIII became too folksy in the eyes of many contemporary Danes.

Frederik al VIII-lea a domnit doar sase ani, din 1906 pana in 1912. El si Lovisa au petrecut patru decenii ca print mostenitor si printesa mostenitoare si acest lucru le-a prezentat cateva provocari speciale, nu in ultimul rand in ceea ce priveste relatia lor cu restul familiei regale, care a fost incordata.
