Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Royal Affair (original Danish title En kongelig affære) is a 2012 historical drama film, directed by Nikolaj Arcel and starring Alicia Vikander, Mads Mikkelsen and Mikkel Følsgaard.It's a Based on a True Story tale of the extremely unfortunate marriage between English princess Caroline Matilda and King Christian VII of Denmark. Caroline (Vikander) is sent off to Denmark for the standard royal Arranged Marriage only to discover that her husband (Følsgaard) is mentally ill with periodic bouts of violent behavior. She lets the king touch her just long enough to fulfill her duty and produce a male heir (the future King Frederick VI) and then announces that she never wants to cohabitate with her husband again; Caroline tends to her son while Christian cavorts with hookers.Enter newly hired royal physician Dr. Johann Struensee (Mikkelsen). Struensee attends to the erratic, possibly schizophrenic king, and succeeds in getting Christian to behave better. Meanwhile a lonely Caroline is drawn to the doctor, who is not only handsome but also has a lot of farsighted ideas about the Enlightenment and progressive change in Denmark, ideas that Caroline sympathizes with. Soon enough Struensee and Caroline are having a torrid affair, while Struensee more or less becomes dictator of Denmark, working through Christian to bring all sorts of reforms to Denmark. However, Christian's other advisors don't take too kindly to a foreign doctor attempting to curb their power and set out to stop him and Caroline, at all costs.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Age-Gap Romance | |
| A Royal Affair / int_52196c03 | comment |
Age-Gap Romance: Between Caroline and Struensee, with the latter being visibly older than the former (during filming Mads Mikkelsen was around 46, Alicia Vikander was around 22). In real life, Caroline was around 18 years old and Struensee was around 33 years old when they began their affair (it's unclear when exactly they became lovers, it being a secret affair and all, but by the middle of 1770 people had started to notice their closeness). Caroline clearly admires Struensee's maturity and life experience, greatly preferring him to her actual husband who is closer to her age (Christian being a spoilt and mentally unstable manchild more interested in prostitutes than her). | |
