Prince Frederik pens tell-all autobiography for 50th birthday
In anticipation of his 50th birthday next year in May, Prince Frederik has teamed up with author Jens Anderson to tell his fascinating life story.
From growing up in the royal spotlight to falling in love with real estate agent Mary Donaldson from Tasmania, we will finally get to hear about the Crown Prince of Denmark’s life from his perspective.
The autobiography titled Under the Beam will discuss Frederik’s life as a royal, father-of-four, husband and humanitarian.
On the weekend, Frederik received the very first copy of the book which is scheduled for release next year.
On the Danish Royal Family Instagram account, fans were given teaser never-before-seen photos to catch a glimpse into the Prince's world.
In one photo, the young Prince Frederik looks like a movie star behind the wheel of a vintage sports car.
In another picture, Frederik and Princess Mary share a warm embrace in front of the Palace before leaving for a fancy event.
The account also posted a candid black-and-white family shot with the four children and their parents.
Alongside the never-before-seen pictures the palace said, “"HRH The Crown Prince received the first copy of the book Under the Beam on Friday.
"A portrait of Crown Prince Frederik. The book was written by author Jens Andersen on the occasion of the Crown Prince's 50th birthday in 2018 and is published on Gyldendal's publishing house on Wednesday. Here are selected pictures from the book."
In the past, royal family members avoided overpromoting themselves and minimised their media coverage.
However, times are changing and now British and European royal families have their own social media accounts and use their profiles to advocate for causes they are passionate about.
The most famous royal memoir was Princess Diana’s tell-all Diana: Her True Story. Diana secretly helped write the book with her biographer Andrew Morton in 1992.
