Prince Fred Shock TV series

Prince Frederik is bracing for a new TV series revealing the secrets of his wild early years!

-

Just as hit Netflix series The Crown has lifted the lid on the British royal family’s lives, a new TV series is set to do the same for the Danish royal family – and the wild ways of one member in particular are set to be exposed.

According to Danish reports, Prince Frederik, 49, will be the subject of the upcoming program, which will focus on his younger years – and an early manuscript suggests it will unveil plenty of scandals involving Fred’s relationsh­ips with models, and includes scenes with sex romps and even drugs!

Danish director Christian Tafdrup, 39, will helm the project, which he calls “a great story about a young man who isn’t allowed to be who he wants to be”.

According to Christian, he was inspired by the success of The Crown, which centres on Queen Elizabeth’s relationsh­ip with her roving husband Prince Philip.

“A TV series about Fred is a much better idea,” he says of his upcoming project, adding it will focus on Frederik’s battles with his mother Queen Margrethe over his unwillingn­ess to take on the royal role.

“He was born into all of this and he didn’t want to be that man,” says Christian. “It is a mother-son drama about two different people.”

Danish magazine Se og Hør has seen an initial draft of the script – first planned as a film called Frederik’s Young Years – and confirms it contains sex scenes, threesomes and drug-taking. It’s thought the TV series will make plenty of changes, but it’s no surprise the Danish royals – Fred’s wife Princess Mary in particular – are worried about what may be screened.

Before meeting Mary in Sydney in 2000, Fred had controvers­ial flings with several models and a pop star. His reluctance to step into the royal spotlight initially is also no secret. Now the question is, what new scandals could this film uncover?
