Photos of Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Genoveva Casanova on a night out in Madrid have emerged.
The heir to the Danish throne and the Mexican socialite enjoyed a night out in the Spanish capital last month.
In the photos, first published by Spanish magazine Lecturas last week, the royal and reality TV star are seen enjoying a stroll through the park, before getting into a change of clothes and heading out again for the evening.
After the photos were first published, Genoveva, 47, issued a statement denying any kind of romantic relationship between herself and the future Danish King.
In a legal letter posted on Instagram, she slammed the ‘malicious’ rumours suggesting the pair were romantically involved.
Both Frederik and his wife of 19 years Crown Princess Mary have not commented on the photos.

Last week, the Spanish media reported that the royal father-of-four and the socialite, who has previously dabbled in acting, visited a Pablo Picasso exhibition, walked through El Retiro Park and later went out for dinner.
Lecturas claimed both Frederik and Genoveva went to her apartment building separately at around 7pm and both re-emerged at around 9pm, two hours later, both having changed their clothes into evening wear.
Photos show Genoveva ditched her chic camel coat with a tie belt in favour of a white shirt, black wide-leg trousers and a black jacket worn on her shoulders.
Meanwhile Frederik appeared to have changed from a navy jacket and brown trousers into a white shirt and dark trousers with a smart dark jacket. Again, they are reported to have emerged from the building separately, but got into the same white car.
The magazine claimed the pair watched a flamenco performance at a Spanish restaurant, El Corral de la Moreria, which finished at midnight.
It also claimed they remained at their table, which had been flanked by two of the Danish Prince’s bodyguards, while other customers left, waiters finished up their shifts and the lights were being switched off.
Lecturas claimed the pair did not emerge from the restaurant until 1am, when they walked out onto the street and got in a car. In a ‘gesture of courtesy’, Lecturas reports Crown Prince Frederik opened the car door for his dinner companion.
Next day, the magazine claims the heir to the Danish throne was taken to the airport via car where he flew home to Denmark.
Earlier in the day, following a stroll around El Retiro Park, Lecturas reported the pair returned to Genoveva’s apartment for an outfit change

Following the publication of the photos, Genoveva issued a furious denial that there was any romantic relationship between herself and the Danish royal.
A statement from the socialite said: ‘I categorically deny the statements that suggest a romantic relationship between Prince Frederik and me.’
She added: ‘Any statement of this type not only completely lacks the truth but also misrepresents the facts in a malicious manner.
‘This is already in the hands of my lawyers, who will take care of the pertinent steps to protect my right to honour, truth and privacy.’
Genoveva Casanova is a Mexican-born socialite living in Spain, who has also dabbled in acting over the years – taking a role in Goya’s Ghosts in 2006.

She has appeared on several reality TV shows in Spain including the nation’s version of the Masked Singer, the most recent series of Spanish Celebrity Masterchef and an all-star version of The Chase.
Between 2005 and 2007 she was married to Spanish author Cayetano Martínez de Irujo, and the couple share two children.
He is one of the five sons of the late Duchess of Alba, who was worth an estimated £2.2billion, and was one of Europe’s wealthiest aristocrats and a direct royal descent from King James II of England.
They divorced in 2008 but have maintained a friendly relationship and she’s said that they still speak every day.
After her divorce, Genoveva was linked to Mexican singer Luis Miguel, although the pair never confirmed if they were in a relationship.
She then dated Gonzalo Vargas Llosa, a Senior Policy Adviser with the UNHCR before coupling up with Spain’s former Minister of Justice, José María Michavila after the death of his wife.
Her most recent romance was in 2022 with José Manuel Gayán Pacheco, an agricultural businessman.
