Who has in particular been talking with Count Michael Ahlefeldt-Laurvig-Bille.
First a few facts.
Alexandra's divorce has been finalized according to the article.
Their relationship has lasted for some months, over the summer.
Alexandra is still living in Germany with her two children, Count Richars, age 18 and comtessa Ingrid, age 13.
Michael Ahlefeldt is 51 and Alexandra is 46.
They recently decided to go public with their relationship at a large party at member of the Lego-family, Anders Kirk.
To BB Michael Ahlefeldt says: "Yes, we are very, very glad/happy/delighted. It feels really good and very lovely".
Princess Benedikte is godmother to Micheal Ahlefeldt, but she may soon be his mother-in-law instead: "Yes, that's very cozy. - It's true that we have known each other all our lives and we have indeed met sort of on off at various parties, where we have chatted and had a cozy time and shared sorrows and joys. - But now that both Alexandra and my life has changed, you suddenly see each other in a different light. And that's basically what has happened".
Micheal Ahlefeldt was divorced in 2016, from his wife of ten years, Caroline Søeborg Ahlefeldt-Laurvig-Bille, with whom he has two children, aged 8 and 10.
At about the same time Alexandra went through her divorce after a marriage lasting 18 years, which happened a couple of months after the death of her father, Prince Richard.
Being emotionally turbulent times for both of them they fell for each other: "Yes, one isn't the master of that... fortunately".
Will Alexandra move in at Egeskov? How about her (basically full blooded German) children?
"Right now we are just happy and glad that two (people) like us can find love, so we take things with ease and calm and enjoy it very much. But we are very glad and everything works fine".
But Alexandra's children?
"When you are as happy as we are, so find a way out for that as well".
What does the family think?
"Everyone seems to be glad on our behalf and that's lovely. We are both very, very pleased with that".
His ex-wife has also been asked for a comment.
Caroline Søeborg says: "I've always hoped Michael would find a sweet sweetheart - and that you can say he has! Alexandra is a super sweet and nice girl and I'm very happy for both of them and wish them well".
