Forinden måtte de vente fire årtier som kronprinspar, hvilket gav dem nogle særlige udfordringer – ikke mindst i forhold til den øvrige kongefamilie, som de havde et anstrengt forhold til. Frederik og Lovisa var på flere måder moderne mønsterbrydere, og det blev ikke altid taget dem lige venligt op af hverken familien eller offentligheden. Som konge ønskede Frederik 8. at bringe sig i øjenhøjde med befolkningen, men han blev for folkelig for mange i sin samtid.Bogen indgår i Kroneserien, en serie af mindre bøger om det danske kongehus og relaterede emner udgivet i samarbejde med Kongernes Samling. Bogen er skrevet af Jens Gunni Busck.

Frederik VIII reigned for only six years, from 1906 until 1912. He and Lovisa spent four decades as Crown Prince and Crown Princess, and this presented them with some special challenges, not least as regards their relationship with the rest of the royal family, which was strained. In several ways Frederik and Lovisa were individuals whose behaviour was at odds with previously existing patterns, and neither the Danish royal family nor the public always viewed this in a positive light. In his efforts to meet the populace on its own terms, Frederik VIII became too folksy in the eyes of many contemporary Danes.The book is part of the Crown Series, a series of small books on the Danish monarchy and related subjects published in cooperation with the Royal Danish Collection. The book is written by Jens Gunni Busck.
