King Frederik of Denmark said that having his wife Queen Mary by his side was the 'highlight' of his 'overwhelming' coronation ceremony, amid rumours the couple is dealing with marital struggles. Speaking to Danish broadcaster, TV2, aboard their royal yacht Kongeskibet Dannebrog, the couple avoided questions about their relationship after pictures emerged of the monarch having an evening out with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casnova in November last year. Instead, the couple doubled down on the strength of their marriage - with Frederik praising Mary to help him get through the historic day.

The King, who was crowned in January, said: 'It was very overwhelming and moving. I felt extremely well received.
