After the death of Elisabeth, he entered into a romance with her lady-in-waiting <a href="/wiki/Charlotte_Helene_von_Schindel" title="Charlotte Helene von Schindel">Charlotte Helene von Schindel</a>, though he later lost interest in her. In 1711, Frederick fell in love with 19-year-old Countess <a href="/wiki/Anne_Sophie_Reventlow" title="Anne Sophie Reventlow">Anne Sophie Reventlow</a>, daughter of the then <a href="/wiki/Conrad_von_Reventlow" title="Conrad von Reventlow">Grand-Chancellor Conrad von Reventlow</a>.

A secret marriage was held at <a href="/wiki/Skanderborg" title="Skanderborg">Skanderborg</a> on 26 June 1712. At that time he accorded her the title "Duchess of Schleswig" (derived from one of his own subsidiary titles). Three weeks after Queen Louise's death in Copenhagen on 4 April 1721, he legalised his relationship with Anna Sophie by a new marriage, this time declaring her <a href="/wiki/Queen_consort" title="Queen consort">queen consort</a> (the first wife of a hereditary Danish king to bear that title who was not of royal blood by birth). It was undoubtedly a relief to regularise a relationship they both saw as sinful.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Of the nine children born to him of these three wives, only two of them survived to adulthood: the future <a href="/wiki/Christian_VI" class="mw-redirect" title="Christian VI">Christian VI</a> and Princess Charlotte-Amalia, both from the first marriage.
