The big news story of the week?

The broadsheet newspapers in Denmark are falling over themselves this week to late the new exposé on the Danish Royal Family by former royal correspondent Trine Villemann.

According to her new book, the marriage of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary in under strain from the pressures of their royal duties, raising a family and the Crown Prince's visits to his ex-girlfriends.

One Australian website has a great take on the story, expecting Australian expats to storm the palace and stage a rescue, while the contribution by Swedish newspaper Kvällsposten offers a rather unflattering picture of the Queen to illustrate one of the stories in Villemann's book - that Mary broke down in tears at a public event at which Frederik ran into an old flame.

This seems to be a story that will run and run...
