The British are already in the middle of the transformation, the new monarch Charles III. wants to slim down the royal house. And Denmark's Queen Margrethe II apparently has similar ambitions, but encounters difficulties.
Last week it became known that the four children of her son Prince Joachim should lose their titles as princes and princesses. It is about Joachim's sons Nikolai (23) and Felix (20) with his ex-wife Countess Alexandra and Henrik (13) and Athena (10) with his wife Princess Marie. From January 1, 2023, they should all only bear the titles of Count or Countess of Monpezat.
Prince Joachim was then publicly hurt and criticized his mother's decision in this regard surprisingly sharply. The 53-year-old is behind his older brother Fredrik in the line of succession.
The public rift made headlines in the Danish media, many were reminded of the conflict between the British heir to the throne William and his younger brother Harry. Harry's wife Meghan Markle, for example, complained in an interview that their children Archie and Lilibet have not yet been given the titles Prince and Princess.
The response was so great that the Queen made a statement on Monday evening and indirectly apologized to her son. "I made my decision as a queen, mother and grandmother, but as a mother and grandmother I underestimated how affected my youngest son and his family felt," the 82-year-old said in a personal statement. I'm sorry. "No one should doubt that my children, children-in-law and grandchildren are my great joy and pride," she said.
Apparently she doesn't want to revise her decision. Instead, she explained the reason for her actions. Margrethe explained that now that she's 50 years on the throne, it's natural to look back as well as forward. "It is my duty and my desire as Queen to ensure that the monarchy continues to be contemporary." This sometimes requires difficult decisions to be made and it will always be difficult to find the right moment.
Those affected have not yet commented on the decision. Still Prince Nikolai, 23, who is now studying and has started a successful career as a model (here a fan account on Instagram), indicated in various previous interviews that he was hoping for a more middle-class life beyond the monarchy.
