Wen Yali, who was born as a commoner, spent her childhood and teenage years in Hong Kong. After graduating from high school, she went to Oreo Vienna and Tokyo, Japan to study, and then in London, England.
Wen Yali is not only very talented in learning, but also has strong language skills. While studying in various countries, she quickly mastered German, French, Japanese, English and other languages.
Wen Yali returned to Hong Kong to become a securities broker under Citibank and other companies after her studies.
Wen Yali's intelligence and competence will soon be reflected in her work. Subsequently, he was dug into the Asia branch of GT Management Company with a high salary to be responsible for sales and marketing.
1994 was a very important year for the 30-year-old Wen Yali.
This year, she met the Danish Prince Joachim.
The handsome Joachim is the second son of Queen Margaret II of Denmark and the future heir to the Danish throne.
Joachim, who was only 25 years old at the time, went for an internship at a Danish shipping company in Hong Kong. There, he fell in love with the confident and beautiful Wen Yali at first sight, and then began a romantic pursuit of Wen Yali. After a brief relationship between the two, Wen Yali finally agreed to marry him at Joachim's sincere request. At this time, the two had only met for 5 months.

After intensive preparations, on November 18, 1995, Wen Yali and Joachim held a grand wedding in Denmark. In order to welcome this daughter-in-law from Hong Kong, Margaret II personally participated in the wedding, and solemnly said to Wen Yali at the wedding, from today on, you will be Danish .
Wen Yali and Joachim were able to achieve positive results, and they did make many changes. For example, she must convert to Lutheranism, the state religion of Denmark. At the same time, she had to give up her British citizenship and become a Danish citizen... After
got married, Wen Yali understood her role. In order to integrate into the Danish people as soon as possible, she mastered Danish in just over 300 hours, and she quickly integrated into the royal life.
Whether it is a royal event or when she needs to face the people alone as a princess, she wins everyone's love with her elegant temperament and her attitude of being close to the people. At the same time, she fluently speaks or communicates with the people in Danish, and has done a lot of public welfare and charity work.
Her performance is not only praised by the public, but even Queen Margaret II is also quite popular. In order to thank her father for raising such an excellent daughter, the Queen specially awarded her father a Grand Cross. At the same time, her parents moved to Denmark on the advice of the Queen.
In 1999 and 2002, Wen Yali gave birth to Prince Nicholas and Prince Felix. Good news spread throughout Denmark, and everyone cheered for the addition of new members to the royal family. From
from the royal family to the people, no one criticized Wen Yali. As the princess, she is really impeccable.

Soon after, the Danish royal family suddenly announced that Wen Yali and Prince Joachim had officially divorced. After the news of
came out, the whole country was in an uproar. However, the royal family remained silent about the reasons for the divorce. The
media can only infer that Wen Yali is probably involved in public welfare, while Prince Joachim loves racing and parties and other entertainment activities. The two people divorced due to inconsistent hobbies.
things seem to be really like this. Prince Joachim likes parties and racing. He is a professional racer himself. At the same time, he is also romantic and has been scandalized after marriage. This makes Wen Yali quite unacceptable. In her opinion, it is better to be herself than to bear the humiliation for the title of princess. So she filed for divorce. Wen Yali's decision was honored by Queen Margaret II.
After her divorce, in order to preserve her aristocratic status, Margaret II did not deprive her of the royal title, but changed the original "His Royal Highness" to"His Royal Highness" and canonized her as Countess of Frederiksborg. At the same time, after Wen Yali divorced, she continued to receive an annual allowance of 330,000 US dollars from the royal family, and she also enjoyed "a brand new house provided by the prince." After
divorced, Wen Yali spent most of the time living in the embassy area in Copenhagen. She did not regret losing her status as a princess. She started to do what she liked and was sometimes invited to participate in royal events.
Soon after, another young and handsome man appeared beside Wen Yali. He was the photographer Martin Jorgensen of the Danish royal family, 15 years younger than Wen Yali.

Martin's father runs a production company, mainly serving the Danish royal family. Martin therefore became the royal photographer.
After Martin and Wen Yali fell in love, they often went abroad on vacation. Wen Yali also went with Martin to visit his parents. After the news of
came out, it shocked the whole country of Denmark, but Margaret II was quite calm about the news and agreed.
In 2007, Wen Yali and Martin held a wedding in the church. Her ex-husband Prince Joachim also went to attend their wedding specially and gave a gift. After
got married, Wen Yali put more energy on public welfare and charity, and never forgot to take her sons to promote public welfare.
and Martin is really a warm man. He is considerate to Wen Yali and takes good care of Wen Yali's two sons. The family often goes out on vacation, participates in activities, etc., and looks very loving.
In 2015, Wen Yali suddenly filed a divorce with Martin. In the face of everyone's speculation, she frankly said that we have different values and we no longer speak together. I think this is not the life and love I pursue, I would rather be single. After the divorce of
, Wen Yali was still very busy. She first went to the American university to charge, and then was hired as a board member of a pharmaceutical company. At the same time, she still did not let go of the public welfare and philanthropy that she had run for many years.
In Wen Yali's eyes, men can be used as icing on the cake, but they are definitely not indispensable. Therefore, when she discovers that once the marriage has lost its original beauty, even the prince, in her opinion, is nothing but ordinary people, which is not surprising.
