I was wrong upthread:

Louise Auguste of Denmark, Duchess of Augustenborg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Louise_Auguste_of_Denmark) or Louise Augusta, (7 July 1771 - 13 January 1843) was officially daughter of King Christian VII of Denmark and Queen Caroline Mathilde. Unofficially it is widely accepted that her natural father was Johann Friedrich Struensee, the king’s royal physician and de facto regent of the country at the time of her birth [. She was referred to sometimes as "la petite Struensee".

Chris VII (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_VII_of_Denmark) was quite mad and preferred getting into pub brawls with the royal(!) constabulary at night together with a prostitute friend -- [h]e publicly declared that he could not love Caroline Mathilde, because it was "unfashionable to love one's wife"..

This means that the answer is the (actual) son of Christian VII of Denmark, ie Frederick VI.
