In the childhood of many Chinese children, "Andersen's Fairy Tales" is an essential bedtime reading. How many girls marrying a prince is a childhood fantasy, Denmark has also become The fairy tale kingdom in the hearts of Chinese people.
However, what few people know is that there is a Hong Kong girl who not only married the Danish royal family and became the first Asian princess in the history of the European royal family, but also resolutely chose to divorce after her husband cheated and marry her 14-year-old Xiao Xianrou.
Some people say that she is the "Diana of the East". In fact, her life is even more exciting than Diana. She is Wen Yali . In the fairy tale
, the girl who can marry the prince does not seem to need any wisdom and hard work, only a kind heart and a beautiful face.
However, Wen Yali can win the love of the Danish prince, not with a beautiful skin, but with intelligence and hard work.
On June 30, 1964, Wen Yali was born in Hong Kong, China. Her father was born in Shanghai of mixed Chinese and English, and her mother was of Polish and Austrian descent.
Wen Yali spent her childhood and teenage years in Hong Kong. Under the careful cultivation of her parents, she received a good education. She has excellent grades in various subjects. She went to Vienna to study international trade after graduating from middle school.
Since then, she has studied in Tokyo, Japan and London, England. Since she comes from a mixed-race family, her language talent is very high, and she has mastered multiple languages, which will greatly help her in the future in the business world.
She worked for Citibank and Jardine Fleming Group successively, doing well in the position of securities broker, and later worked for the famous GT Management Co., Ltd., and took the position of executive vice president in less than five years. A proper career woman.
According to traditional Chinese views, women should not be too strong in their careers, otherwise men will be discouraged from pursuing them.
However, it turns out that this sentence is absurd.
When Wen Yali is invincible in the workplace, a fairy-tale love has quietly arrived.
Prince Joachim and Wen Yali
In 1994, the 25-year-old Prince Joachim of Denmark worked as an intern at a shipping company and came to Hong Kong on official business.
At a party, the prince and Wen Yali met. The golden wind and jade dew meet, but there are countless victories in the world. The golden boy and jade girl fell in love at first sight and quickly fell in love. Prince Joachim and Prince Wen Yali
Joachim are the second sons of the Queen of Denmark.
The Queen of Denmark, Margaret
, although he is not the crown prince, he has high hopes from the queen. Now I am in love with an Asian woman who is five years older than me and who is a commoner. This is undoubtedly breaking news for the royal family.
But Prince Joachim is determined to embrace the beauty. After falling in love for just a few months, the prince officially proposed to Wen Yali.
The Danish royal family is still relatively enlightened . The queen personally presented Wen Yali with a beautiful wedding dress and sent her blessings. Wen Yali also quit her job, ready to concentrate on fulfilling the duties of the princess.
On November 18, 1995, Wen Yali and Prince Joachim held their wedding. The princess from Hong Kong, who was born as a civilian, officially became a member of the Danish royal family.
Newlywed Yaner, the couple is the time for the love and affection. Wen Yali did not blindly immerse herself in the love of her children. She understood that she was not only the wife of the prince, but also a member of the royal family, and she must quickly assume her responsibilities.
only spent less than half a year, Wen Yali mastered the complicated Danish language proficiently, and devoted herself to charity activities, winning the recognition of the Danish people with her image of being close to the people.
This also makes Wen YaliIt was appreciated by the queen. The Queen of Denmark agreed to this marriage at first, largely because of her son’s persistence, but Wen Yali’s various performances after marrying into the royal family made her admire. Queen began to love this daughter-in-law from Asia and even told herself The eldest son, the crown prince, wants to learn from his younger brother’s vision of choosing a wife. The
story developed here, and it should have been a happy ending like "The prince and Cinderella have lived a happy life since then." However, Wen Yali encountered the same misfortune as Princess Diana: the infidelity of her husband.
Prince Joachim is young after all, and has always been romantic and suave. Even if he is married, he is still unwilling to abandon his single lifestyle.
Prince Joachim
When Wen Yali was busy taking care of the royal family's official activities, the prince was indulging in the gentle village of the nightclub girls, drinking and clubbing became commonplace. Wen Yali was naturally very sad, but she couldn't persuade the young prince. Men mature later than women, not to mention Prince Joachim is five years younger than her. If separated from the prince, it means to give up the title of princess and abandon all the noble status of the royal family.
Wen Yali doesn't care about these. The reason why she married into the royal family was originally only because of the sincere love between her and the prince. When love is completely gone, she will leave without hesitation.
When Princess Diana chose to divorce Prince Charles, she asked the British royal family to keep her title. When Wen Yali divorced Prince Joachim in 2005, she didn't care about the title of the princess, and the Danish royal family asked her to keep it.
A royal marriage that had been the envy of countless girls ended in this way. At that time, many Danish people sympathized with Wen Yali and believed that the prince had failed her. But Wen Yali proved with facts that she doesn't need anyone's sympathy and mercy.
The 40-year-old Wen Yali resumed her single life, but she is still a frequent visitor to many charity activities and actively participates in various social activities. Two years later, an explosive news shocked everyone again: Wen Yali once again reaped love, she was going to marry the 27-year-old royal photographer Martin!
Wen Yali and Martin
are siblings again, and the difference between the two is 15 years old this time!
In 2007, the two held a grand wedding. At the wedding, the two sons of Wen Yali and her ex-husband Joachim also appeared and blessed her mother. Joachim gave her a gift. From this we can see that Wen Yali has a high EQ, even if she is separated from the prince, the two are still very good friends.
Wen Yali after her remarriage is undoubtedly very happy. Martin not only takes good care of her, but also treats her and the two little princes born to her ex-husband very well. She often takes the little prince to and from school.
In their free time, the husband and wife often go on vacation together. In the photos secretly captured by the media, the faces of both of them are filled with happy smiles.
However, in 2015, Wen Yali suddenly announced the divorce from Martin, giving the reason that "the values are different". The 51-year-old Wen Yali once again became a chic and comfortable single girl, and eventually became her own queen. She once said:
"Not all fairy tales have to be happy, but it doesn't matter, life continues!"
Some people call Wen Yali "Danish Diana". In love and marriage, Wen Yali meets when she meets, and goes away when she doesn't agree. Neither money power nor public opinion can prevent her from following her true will.
is so bold, so she is much luckier than Diana, and her life is much more exciting.
