Danish Prince's Birthday Banquet: Someone intentionally left a high-heeled shoe at the venue! Now, the "Cinderella" has revealed herself...
"Regal Revelry and a Playful Twist: Danish Prince's Birthday Banquet Unveils a Modern-Day 'Cinderella' Tale"
A few days ago, the highly anticipated Danish royal family hosted a grand event at the palace - the eldest son of Crown Prince Frederik, the future king of Denmark, celebrated his 18th birthday
Queen Margrethe II, who has been on the throne for over half a century, specially organized a grand European royal gathering for her grandson.
The birthday boy is Prince Christian, who has been groomed for a significant role since childhood. As the eldest son of Crown Prince Frederik and Australian-born Crown Princess Mary, Christian is the future king of Denmark. He has received an elite education, possesses a refined temperament, and exudes regal charisma.
The prince also has a unique personality; to prioritize his studies, he once voluntarily gave up the annual royal allowance for in-service members, opting to be a "part-time prince" and a full-time student.
According to European tabloids, Christian is now one of the most "sought-after" eligible bachelors in Europe.
Since the passing of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, Queen Margrethe II has become the "matriarch queen" of European royalty. Queen Margrethe II is well-connected with various European royal families and enjoys a favorable reputation.
At her gracious invitation, Prince Christian's 18th birthday celebration was attended by future queens from the Dutch royal family and Swedish royal princesses.
Attendees, elegantly dressed and adorned with royal crowns and jewelry, turned the event into a spectacle, both as guests and as representatives of their respective kingdoms.
In addition to the female members of European royalty, there were also 200 18-year-old "representatives" from various regions of Denmark, symbolizing good wishes for the prince's birthday.
Christian's birthday banquet was hailed as the most spectacular and visually stunning event of the year. The prince, basking in the atmosphere of this star-studded occasion, delivered a speech during the banquet, enhancing his personal charm and appearing as the dreamy suitor for every young girl.
Coincidentally, the fairy tale took an unexpected turn. Similar to Hans Christian Andersen's "Cinderella," where Cinderella hastily leaves the prince's banquet, leaving behind a beautiful glass slipper, it seems that a real-life scenario unfolded at the prince's birthday celebration.
The palace staff discovered a beautiful golden high-heeled shoe "abandoned" at the venue after the prince's birthday celebration. The palace, perplexed by the situation, posted a lost and found notice on its official website:
"Did Cinderella forget her shoes last night?
After Her Majesty the Queen's dinner party yesterday, this lonely high-heeled shoe was left at Christiansborg Palace. The owner is welcome to contact us for its return."
The palace seemed genuinely puzzled, resorting to a global search for the owner of this glamorous shoe.
They even shared a close-up photo of the beautiful golden shoe, adding a touch of fairy tale magic.
So, who could be the princess or guest who forgot her shoe?
Fans worldwide couldn't resist speculating:
"No, you need to have Prince Christian try the shoe on every invited girl in the kingdom. Otherwise, your subjects might run the risk of being dominated by an evil stepsister!"
"A girl who 'forgets' a high-heeled shoe is a genius - she deserves the prince and half the kingdom."
"I think Christian needs to go out and see which girl the shoe fits - imagine if this is a real love story."
Unfortunately, the prince didn't personally visit every household in the kingdom to try the shoe on every female guest at his event. Instead, he opted for a more modern approach to find the owner of the shoe.
The question of who the mysterious lady was, the one who lost the "glass slipper" at the Danish prince's banquet, lingered in the minds of the public for days.
However, today brought news - the 18-year-old regional representative named Anne-Sofie Tornso Olesen, an actress, confessed to being the owner of the shoe. She revealed in a media interview that it was done deliberately.
"It truly feels like a Cinderella-like fairy tale. I am single, but I don't want to marry Prince Christian."
Olesen explained that she won the opportunity to attend the prince's birthday celebration through a "raffle." She clarified her reasons behind the playful act:
"I found this whole thing a bit amusing. I had discussed it with friends and family before, and they were all supportive. After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will never happen again. It's a moment worth taking a risk for."
Olesen also revealed that during the crowded event, she did indeed have a conversation with Prince Christian. However, she "forgot what was said specifically," only recalling that the prince talked about the banquet and inviting everyone to gather in the castle.
Now that the identity of the owner of the "glass slipper" has been revealed, the media quickly dug into her background. Olesen has previously appeared in Danish television dramas, and her father is a wine merchant. On the night of the banquet, she even shook hands and exchanged greetings with Queen Margrethe II.
Olesen, dressed in an elegant and sexy black lace backless dress, looked stunning.
She also mentioned that during the star-studded event, she did lose the high-heeled shoe twice. The first time she "accidentally" left it behind, a kind-hearted person quickly found it and returned it to her.
This prompted her to hurriedly lose the high-heeled shoe for the second time and quickly flee the scene.
Now that the owner of the "glass slipper" has been found, this fairy tale story concludes with a real-life ending. Will the prince make further contact with the single Olesen?
The actions of this "Cinderella" are undeniably adorable...
