After rumors of an affair with King Frederik, Genoveva Casanova withdrew.
On TV she will now meet number 5 in line to the Spanish throne.
Madrid – Royals and reality TV don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
Mike Tindall (45), Princess Anne's son-in-law (73), has already successfully demonstrated this when he took fourth place in the 2022 British jungle camp edition "I'ma Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here".
Now the niece of Spain's King Felipe (56) is following suit.
“He's afraid it will be vulgar”: Does the Spanish royal family accept Victoria's career?
Victoria Federica de Marichalar y de Borbón (23), the daughter of Infanta Elena of Spain (60), takes part in the Spanish TV show “El Desafío” (English: “The Challenge”) on the
Antena 3
channel .
Elena is the older sister of King Felipe VI.
(56), her daughter Victoria is fifth in line to the Spanish throne.
With around 270,000 Instagram followers (as of March 4, 2024), Victoria has made a name for herself as a fashion influencer.
But how is her participation in the TV show received by the Spanish royal family?
Our new WhatsApp channel also offers more news from the world of entertainment.
“El Desafío” is said to be very popular with the Spanish royals, as
Vanidades
reports.
Infanta Sofía of Spain (16), the youngest daughter of King Felipe and Queen Letizia (51), is a big fan of the show, in which various celebrities have to face different physical and mental challenges.
But Victoria's grandparents Juan Carlos I. (86) and Sophia (85) also apparently like to tune in.
But according to royal author Silvia Taulés, grandpa Juan Carlos has high expectations of his granddaughter.
The monarch talks a lot on the phone to his grandchildren and blames them if he doesn't like something about them.
At first he didn't like Vic's involvement in the fashion world, but he has now accepted it, but he wants her to act like a royal and not like a normal model.
He's afraid it will be vulgar.
He wants her to be the Spanish Charlotte of Monaco [Casiraghi].

King Frederik's alleged affair Genoveva Casanova reports back
That's why Victoria is said to have set two conditions for her participation in "El Desafío" - she didn't want to wear tight or transparent clothing and she didn't want to be asked about her famous family.
“This is nonsense,” juror Juan del Val already denied, according to
El Confidencial
.
Another candidate on the TV show would definitely like to avoid private topics.
We're talking about Genoveva Casanova (47).
After pictures of her and the then Danish crown prince emerged last fall, Frederik was confronted with cheating rumors.

While Genoveva Casanova subsequently withdrew from the public eye, Frederik was appointed king in Denmark after Queen Margrethe (83) unexpectedly resigned.
Casanova suffered a pulmonary embolism and explains, according to
Hola!
: “What saved my life was the doctor who acted quickly.” Now the Mexican presenter is back and wants to prove herself on TV; filming has already begun.
It is doubtful whether King Frederik and Queen Mary (52), who touched hearts with their coronation kiss, will tune in.
