As a divorced European Asian princess, there is no "tragic" in the life script of Wen Yali , only "free and unrestrained".
In July this year, Wen Yali will no longer receive a subsidy of Danish royal 2.6 million Danish kroner (about 2.79 million yuan) per year. Many people interpret this as "the elegant and graceful separation between the Danish royal family."
25 years ago, born in Hong Kong, she withstood the secular vision and married a Danish prince who was 5 years younger than her as a civilian, and "break into" the European royal family alone. But later, she was trying hard to manage her marriage and was rewarded with her husband's betrayal and divorced sadly.

Time flies. Next month, her youngest son Felix is about to turn 18, and she is no longer the "running princess" in the eyes of others.
Now she can "marry" a "young man" who is 15 years younger than her, and can also be like a fish in the workplace and be a strong woman who is only loyal to herself.
Some people say that when they heard Lee Xiuxian in "Bloodthirs" say to Zhou Runfa , "It would be better if I could be as casual as you", the first figure flashed through their minds was her.

, she first joined Citibank as a securities broker, and a few years later she joined GT management company. In 1995, at the age of 31, she was already an executive vice president and a true female elite.
That year, the Danish prince, Akim, was 26 years old. He was a well-known "young young man" in the European aristocratic circle. In Li Yunlong's words, he was a "famous handsome young man in the countryside."
At that time, he was sent to Hong Kong to learn to run a family business, and Wen Yali was the one who received him.
At a banquet, the two met. The elegant and elegant conversation and graceful dancing made the young prince fall in love with it. Just like the prince in a fairy tale meets "Cinderella", they quickly get to know each other and fall in love...

After just five months of time, Yoakim took out a ring inlaid with diamonds and rubies while on vacation in the Philippines, he knelt down and proposed to Wen Yali...
The news came out, and the whole of Hong Kong was in full swing, and Wen Yali was called the "Hong Kong Princess". The Danish people on the other side were also in agitation. After all, this was a 5-year-old civilian princess, which was unheard of in the Danish royal family.
Fortunately, Queen of Denmark is open-minded, allowing lovers to finally get married. At the end of 1995, Joachim and Wen Yali held a grand wedding at the Danish Palace.
Denmark is a romantic country rich in fairy tales. Everyone regards Wen Yali as a realistic version of Cinderella, but Wen Yali said: "I have never been a Cinderella." After marriage, her family and career "birth" and she worked hard to be a competent princess.

With her strong language talent, she mastered Danish proficiently in just 100 days and began to speak publicly in fluent Danish.
When talking about learning Danish, she said: "Learning Danish is my own decision. I think it would be too rude to speak English if you need to thank others or give a speech in many important occasions (Denmark). Denmark is my home, and I only speak Danish."
's elegant efforts not only make the Danish people feel "respected", but also make my mother-in-law, the Queen of Denmark highly appreciated.
But fate is so good, and her elegant efforts and dignity have won the love of almost everyone in Denmark, but they have not won the cherishment of her husband.
probably started with the "seven-year itch" after marriage, and Joachim's gossip news gradually increased...
Say goodbye to the royal family,
Turn around and then "marry" Little fresh meat
During that time, Joachim often appeared in the entertainment pages of newspapers: lingering in the stadiums and bars, openly having an ambiguous relationship with other women at banquets, and rumors spread...
In fact, when we got married, Wen Yali said: "If one day our marriage has an irreversible crisis, we will definitely break up. Instead of having a bed and apart from dreams, it is better to break up and start a new life together."
She said this and did it. In 2005, Wen Yali and Yoachim officially divorced.
When divorced, a Danish poll showed that 95% of people believed that the responsibility for the divorce was not her, and even the Queen of Denmark felt sorry for this "ex-daughter-in-law".

"My husband (ex-husband) is very charming, has a gentle and sincere personality. Even if he is divorced, we are still very important friends with each other. However, when the problem comes, not every couple will continue to be husband and wife."
Many people think that Wen Yali is "forcibly pretending to be calm" in public, but she did not expect that her chic and elegance are things engraved in her bones. After the divorce, she did not fall into sorrow and could not recover.

Jogensen is a warm man, considerate and considerate to the elegant and beautiful. Soon, the two generously made their relationship public.

15 years old age difference, in the second marriage, regardless of worldly criticism and dissuasion of relatives and friends, she threw away the royal treatment and threw herself into Jorgensen's arms without hesitation. Many netizens joked that Wen Yali "married" a little puppy.
The wedding of the two is very private and does not recreate the glory of the past. They only invited immediate family and friends from both sides and a few friends to participate, and refused any media live records. It is said that Wen Yali's ex-husband also specially came to congratulate her.
After marriage, their family often went out for vacation and participated in activities, and looked very loving. Jorgensen also took good care of Wen Yali's two sons and often sent them to school.

She said: "We have different values and we no longer talk together.I don't think this is the life and love I pursue, I would rather be single. "
At that time, Wen Yali was 51 years old, but she was still chic.
"Men are 'icing on the cake',

Wen Yali often stays by the little princes' side on important occasions such as coming-of-age ceremony, graduation ceremony, birthday, etc.

She replied: "I have done many things that I regret big and small. But you are the master of life. You don’t need to obtain the consent of others when making decisions. You are also happy to make mistakes. "
It turns out that this strong woman with a strong heart also regretted it, but she can accept the consequences of her choice calmly.
Nowadays, she likes to cook like an ordinary mother. In the show, she said that she "even uses a 'ancestral' rice cooker'. This rice cooker was bought by her father in the 1970s, and she still uses it.
In her "old memories", most of the things she can remember are as beautiful and interesting as a rice cooker. She often takes her children back to Hong Kong, and she says "because it is my hometown":
