The heir to the Danish throne is rumoured to be engaged in an affair with a Mexican celebrity Masterchef contestant.

"I want to make it very clear that I have no relationship with him, as some suggest," she said. Casanova continued: "Except for those who want to distort the images and see something where there is nothing. We have common friends and I am not going to tell who my friends are."

In an interview with Hola! magazine, the former daughter-in-law of billionaire Duchess of Alba branded the rumours "categorically" untrue and branded the claims as "malicious". Spanish media claimed that Frederik spent the night at the socialite's home after being snapped walking together in broad daylight in Retiro Park in Madrid. They reportedly enjoyed a long walk and seemed friendly, and were not hiding their behaviour from anyone.

It is believed that he had planned to attend the Picasso exhibition with a mutual friend he shares with Genoveva - however at the last minute, the friend was unable to go and asked Genoveva to attend in his place. After visiting the exhibition at the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, the pair walked through El Retiro Park, before heading to El Corral de la Morería for dinner.

A statement from the socialite said: 'I categorically deny the statements that suggest a romantic relationship between Prince Frederick 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 honor, truth and privacy.'
