Well, there isn't much to tell really. He had a very uneventfull life, unmarried and without any real ambitions. As a child he was quite obese due to an illness. He made a career in the army, but retired in an early age. He spend his life at his estate, Egelund Castle, build 1915-1917 by his mother Dowager Queen Lovisa.

I think there s the answer to your question, Eric.

Did Lovisa mentioned her son in the letters to her family ?  It could be a side view of his life seen in the eyes of his mother.

Lovisa was a bigot and not a cultural and sophiticated person. Her only good qualities on the view of the Danish Royal Family was that she was a Swedish Princess and rich too...

If you are asking about Queen Louise of Sweden, they disliked her for giving her daughter bad advice, and trying to keep her away from her new family by spreading rumors. They also disliked her personality. The first years of Crown Princess Lovisas life in Denmark was spoiled a bit due to her mothers interference.

Poor Lovisa was never a beauty...despite having so many jewels. Freddy was the pretty one in this marriage.

"Freddy" & "Bertie" looking bored. Frederick was very good looking and nicknamed "Freddy with the pretty face".
