Maria Montell was in a relationship with King Frederik of Denmark in the late 1990s. Montell says she felt judged by people she didn't even know.
She had to go to a psychologist after the relationship ended. In 2003, Maria Montell met the film director Tomas Villum Jensen (52). The two are now married and have three children.. Three years before Frederik met Queen Mary, he lived with someone else.. Frederik also had his difficulties as crown prince and sought psychological help. But the reason could not have been his ex-girlfriend, says the Danish magazine Se og Hør.. In 1997 he conquered Montell. “He did everything in his power to get me, and I let myself get carried away,” said the 55-year-old in the podcast.. She describes how difficult it was to make love public. "It's terrible to have to stand up and announce to the entire Danish population that you're in love with someone," says the now wife and mother.
