After Prince Christian of Denmark's 18th birthday party at Christiansborg Castle, palace staff discovered a lone stiletto left behind by one of the guests, leading to comparisons with Cinderella's story. The Danish Royal Household announced their search for the owner of the shoe, which sparked excitement among royal fans who speculated about a possible romance between Prince Christian and the mystery guest. While rumors of his engagement to Princess Maria Chiara of Bourbon-Sicily had been circulating earlier, the Princess shut them down, announcing that they‘re just close friends.
Update:
The stiletto belonged to Anne-Sofie Tørnsø Olesen who said that she left behind her beloved accessory on purpose because she just couldn’t pass up the chance to recreate a moment fit for a storybook. "I thought, you know what, this is only going to happen once in my entire life, so I might as well do it," gushed the party guest. Olesen explained that she tried to discreetly drop the shoe several times, but someone would immediately rush over and hand it back to her. On her final try, she hurried out of the palace before anyone noticed she was heading home with only one shoe on.
