Queen Margrethe has just provided her cousin King Charles III with the precedent to go ahead and remove the royal titles from the children of his youngest son. These children will grow up outside our Royal Family in the US and there is no good reason for them to have princely titles.
Margrethe II is not the first to do this. On 7 October 2019, Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden issued a statement rescinding the royal status of Prince Carl Philip's two children (at the time) and Princess Madeleine's three children in an effort to more strictly associate Swedish royalty to the office of the head of state; they are no longer styled as His/Her Royal Highness, but their princely titles remain and they are still duchesses and duke of their provinces, remaining in the line of succession to the throne. Carl Philip and his wife and Madeleine commented that their children now will have greater possibilities to shape their own lives as private individuals.
In the Netherlands, a distinction is made between members of the royal family and members of the royal house. Membership in the royal house is lost to persons who are still in the direct line of succession, but are no longer related to the current monarch within two degrees of kinship. When Willem-Alexander assumed the throne in 2013 this applied to the three children of his brother Prince Constantijn.
There are no children
Living away from your family doesn't mean you are no longer a member of that family
@@gaylehunter7744 what?
@@annc6046 It is when you are being a witch about it
Ok, so why didn't she also strip that ridiculous "royal family of Greece" of their Danish titles as well?
In 2019 the King of Sweden stripped his five younger grandchildren of their titles and removed them from the line of succession. The children of Crown Princess Victoria retained their titles and styles. So it seems to be the current trend in the nordic countries.
That's not correct. The children of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Madeleine are no longer styled as His/Her Royal Highness, but their princely titles remain and they are still duchesses and duke of their provinces, *remaining in the line of succession to the throne* .

@@RaymondHng What about the children of the late Prince Friso ???
That's another kingdom.
In the Netherlands, where I live, the former Queen Beatrix declared that the children of her 2nd and 3rd son will be named as Count or Countess. So nothing new for me. So it happend and they all live happily ever after and live their own life without any control of Government.
Yes so true.
Actually In the Netherlands, the constitution since 1922 limits the line of succession. A distinction is made between members of the royal family and members of the royal house.

Once again great content. Just love hearing what royals around the world are doing.
Thank you very much I really appreciate all your comments and information about royalty around the world.
Interesting touch to the Queen’s Golden Jubilee! They are a loving family, and they include the Countess in many major events so I suspect they will all recover in due time. Sounds like tough love, but streamlining the royal families is in vogue now. The Queen is a smart and capable Monarch and even in her Eighties what she says goes!

On this Danish stuff, your transition from neutral narrator to flabbergasted civilian is the absolute best. 😂
Yes! I thought the very same thing! It is kind of hard to keep a straight, non-biased face on this story!!
Love your use of the language!
I love this channel and your comment. Bravo and thank you so much for your work.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I just love your videos on all the royal families and god’s blessings always for you and your family the royals always inspire me with the love and support and compassion that they have for people and do a great job of service I look forward to hearing more from you have a great day 🙏😊💙💜🧡♥️❤️💛💚🇩🇪
If you need a title to make you feel like someone special. Then you need to go back to school
One has to assume as stated in the video that those close to Queen Margarethe would have known of the amendments. This is Royal Court protocols and the decision would have ramifications that must have been discussed at length with those involved. Sometimes the press needs a juicy tidbit to play with and who knows, maybe Niikolai and Felix are content. The two youngest of Joachim are not really impacted. Pressure is now off.
The downsizing of the monarchy is going to create a messy situation within the family units even though it is the right thing to do!
Mmmmmmm I wonder if something occurred within the Danish family to make this decision? Someone made the Queen angry? We will never know.
Yup, someone made her angry indeed.
Two grandsons are models. One modeled for a hotel ad and the hotel used his title in the ad, as if it were a testimonial. Undignified and not proper.
Love your commentary and your voice. being a royal isn't for the faint of heart.
If the decision has been long "in the making", having ignored it appears to be an ostrich in the sand strategy by the parents. It's their job to prepare their kids for the change...
King Charles III also plans to decrease the size of the British monarchy, so Margarethe II beat him to the punch on pertinent announcements. It does seem odd, however, to remove titles that have already been granted to grandchildren nearly grown. I agree with you that the children are probably better off this way in the long run.

Who will Charles get rid of? Harry has already moved to California and the other royals are too old to try to make it on their own. Beatrice and Eugene?
you can't make the British monarchy any smaller. there are three cousins who do charity work some in the name of the monarch but they are getting up in years and won't be around they may retire soon now that the Queen is gone. Princess Anne, Prince Edward & Sophie are very important to the monarchy.
A little bit late to strip titles that were given years ago… we are not talking about a pay check
@@sylviedeblois3360 No. I got the impression that is an issue.
It seems to me, and I can be wrong, I have before, but the kids need to learn all their studies and anything else without titles standing between them. Great article!! My friend ❤️
Learn your lesson in school, go to university and choose a career that will keep you in the style you want to be accustomed in
Spain, Norway, England, Sweden, The Netherlands have a similar order with minor members of their Royal Families, democratization is the way for Monarchies to survive!
Wow Queen Margrethe of Denmark is removing royal titles from her royal grandchildren OMG 🙃
It is actually not that shocking! Sweden havde done the same ting. So it is actually not that big of a deal. I would not trust anything that Alexandra is saying to the press. I am sure the children and Prince Joachim, Marie AND Alexandra her self new of this. But Alexandra are known to stir things up in the press and with the Queen in the past. So yeah. I would take ti with a grain of salt. The Queen know what she is doing and she loves her children and grandchildren. I think maybe the same thing will happen to Harry and Meghans children in England?
She did try to do a number on the Queen and her Consort while he was alive. They should have stripped her from all titles, but being the soul of goodness she is, HM the Queen left Alexandra with the title of Countess. If it were me, she would have gotten nothing at all.
Irony not born to privilege, married for it . If Alexandra was 25% brown she’d be calling racism to media too .
4:24 - King Charles of the UK has spoken of a slimmed-down monarchy for quite a while. I hope he reads and considers the example of his cousin Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.
I believe European monarchs communicate privately all the time. King Charles probably knew well in advance what was happening and will also take action in due course, but there’s a Parliamentary process that has to take place, What hasn’t helped the British monarchy, is the worldwide media focus and speculation on H&M. Queen Margarethe was able to do it without media harassment, nobody knew about it after the event.
@@suej9329Prince Joachim knew of the plans but not of the time
Good for Queen Margarethe. Hopefully King Charles III will follow her example.

Queen Margrethe is a beautiful lady from inside to outside.
The Queen could have had the changes start with the next generation and avoid all the family turmoil. IMO
I agree, but her grandsons earned this through their parting, modeling, not completing military service, soft millennial behavior.
There is no tradition for an extended number of princesses/princes in Denmark.
The Queen's three cousins did not hold such titles either.
HMQM removed this style from 4 of her grandchildren. Why does this not also apply to the exiled Greek royals, i.e. nieces & nephews???
Countess Alexandra hasn’t been around much for years! Queen Margarethe is awesome and wouldn’t be making a mistake.
Not since she and Joachim have divorced.
As a Dane, I did speculate as to why Margrethe 2 would remove their royal titles. Making them merely ‘highnesses’ rather than ‘royal highnesses’ would not really have achieved more than confusion. Today, September 29, Queen Margrethe has specified, that this will allow her grandchildren, through her second son, to have careers without having to consider potential ramifications for the Royal House. Her oldest grandson has worked as a model. In this way he needn’t turn down work of a questionable nature: such as commercials for Ecco shoes, who might still have factories in Russia…
PS. Your translation is excellent. And they all knew. But Alexandra is not happy!
@@TorchwoodPandP Then Alexandra should have thought better when she divorced the Queen's son. She has no right to be either happy or sad. She is a nonperson.
They've never been HRH but 'only' 'Hignesses'.... and after January 1st Excellences....
I think the 'royal' gives you IPP diplomatic and travel privileges.
I don’t know why they didn’t just say , from now on no titles , rather than taking them away . If employers and colleagues know who you are , it doesn’t matter if you have a title or not . Zara Philips/ tindell will always be known as Queens granddaughter, title or no title. So how does it help them in the outside world.
The swedish monarchy are going in a similar direction. The grandchildren will keep their titles, but in the next generation it is only the children in the direct line of heir of the crown who will be prince/princess.
👩🏻💻YaHoo!!! You go Sophie, Countess of Wessex!!!🙋♀️
There are many Greeks using the title Prince/Princess of Denmark also... they have almost zero connection to Greece today let alone Denmark. The Queen should've considered removing these odd titles before the ones of her son.
Wow! Big news day! Thank you ❤
👍👍💯
I wonder if the Archie-Lillibet situation has anything to do with Queen Margrethe stripping her grandchildren. Perhaps she is being supportive to King Charles?
Off course, she supports King Charles III.

I highly doubt if she even thought about that at all. HM does not do things in a haphazard way, this is a move she has probably been contemplating for a while.
The sibling to the Heir is no longer the spare, the heir’s 1st born is now the spare. They are not working royals, if I’m not mistaken having these extra titles out there means the tax payers pay for that
The heir’s firstborn isn’t a spare, he’s the monarch for the next generation.
Great Review as always .... I think Albert is ready to burst trying to hold his gut in....... Re Denmark. no surpise there.... Alexandra may have to start working for a living.... ah well that's just an old American commenting. take care
Alexandra Manley Prince Jokim s first wife is the daughter of a very rich family from Hong Kong and she is an economist herself so she doesn't really the Danish Royal family money she thinks only about her children that's all
Queen of Denmark choice.
Agree with you about the loss of titles. Less taxpayer funds, less family drama, ect…. Hopefully King Charles is watching and will “untitle” the Sussex family. Will you please keep us informed of any fallout from this decision? Thank you for the most informative, objective Royal RUclips channel!
Not all titled prince and princess are tax-funded. Where did you get that notion?
You sound very spiteful and vindictive, shame on you for targeting the Sussex children
I think it’s appalling. To do this to young children who have only ever been named prince or princess without any surname. By all means remove the HRH. WHY GIVE THE KIDS Prince & Princess in the first place. She exiled them to France to live. What’s next? Is she going as senile as her husband. It stinks.
I can see what The Swedish court did to the grandkids took away HRH title but they are still styled as Prince/Princess. I don't think she did the right thing. The two oldest kids are in their 20's and they were PRINCE's they are already making their own way in the world.
It would have been better to remove the rhr and prince/princess title from the children of the children. I do love Margrethe very much, but this was not a good decision.
I absolutely disagree with your statement about stripping the children of their titles. If she wanted to make a change going forward, fine and good, but to take them away from people who already have them is just wrong.
In Sweden, the 3 sons of Prince Carl Philippe are still Princes , but no longer Royal Highnesses . Carl Phillipe and Sophia still do Royal duties , but the children of Madeleine and Carl Philippe will not have to do any Royal duties , rather like the children and grandchildren of Princess Margaret, our Queen's younger sister
I agree that Queen Margrethe did the right thing but it sounds like there was a lack of discussion with the eldest two (who are young adults).
I doubt if either care that much. Both are busy with carreers.
It was supposedly an on-going discussion for a while and Prince Joachim was fully involved and informed and agreed with the decision.
Monarchy no longer are rulers but servants of the people. Those children can choose their own paths.
I cannot imagine that Marguerite didn’t tell Prince Joachim about what was to happen. Maybe the ex didn’t know (and given her loose lips, no wonder). Either way, Queen Daisy has always been a DGAF kind of woman 😅.
I’m rather curious about the fate of Frederick and Mary’s other three children. They won’t receive an annuity, either . . .
I don't think this applies to the children of the Crown Prince and Princess. Probably aimed more at the children of Joachim and Alexandra.
Don't worry. Prince Frederik is not skint. The Danish Royal family is one of the richest royal families in Europe.
They are all intelligent children. They will get good educations and good jobs. They will have excellent connections, so we shouldn´t worry about them.
@@vernonsheldon-witter1225 They will not be funded by the government as adults. Only Prince Christian will receive government funding. Isabela, Vincent and Josephine will not, but they will always have the HRH and princely titles and styling.
@@MTMF.london The Dutch RF outranks them all when it comes to wealth.
Wild news in Denmark!
I am surprised about the decision to strip Prince Joachims children of their titles-mainly because it seems that it was always understood that these grandkids would be making their own way with independent jobs regardless of title? Pretty shocked-it sounds like Prince Joachim knew and didn't share this info with Alexandra? Odd. Thank you for this update!
The Daily Mail is reporting Prince Joachim was only told a few days ago and it didn't sound like he was happy...
Possibly emblematic of their troubled marriage.
You can't live an independent life with normal jobs if you are royalty with titles. I think they are not even allowed to go and live outside of Denmark, by law and custom. Without the titles they can now try to live their own lives, date and marry whomever they want without having to be mindful of being criticized constantly for not acting 'properly' or have to be mindful of other people with selfish agendas who will use them for their own benefits (Prince Andrew of UK comes to mind) and get into all sorts of problems. Besides, Joachim and his children are not directly in line to the throne as Frederik and his family are. Joachim has also said that he's always been frustrated by having no official role other than be a 'spare' with no defined responsibility or authority - just a stand-in for Frederik and it can grate on you after awhile. This way he and Marie and the children can probably go and live in France at the family estate Chateau de Cayx or his beloved Paris. I think it is a good thing for everyone involved.
The Countess has a great relationship with the family, including her Ex and his new wife. Frankly I think it will be better off for Joachims kids to be regular nobility instead of working royals. The castle Joachim’s family lives in is quite a concession prize!
@@debbiebell9139 Or he didn't assimilate the discussions preceded the decision.
I think that this bodes well for similar moves in by the UK royal family.
It is incredible 🥺🤷♀️🤦♀️
It is unfortunate that Prince Joachim of Denmark and his families were not better prepared and briefed concerning their modified roles as members of the peripheral royal family. The great advantage in my opinion was that scandals such as those around the Sovereign's second son in Britain could be avoided, and these "non-working" rooyals could have relative peace and privacy to earn their own living and enjoy their lives as citizens without being constantly in the limelight. Obviously, government stipends were not forthcoming for all of them, so they need to be able to support themselves without disruption and excessive conflict of interest. It was a pity that Queen Margarethe did not prepare and educate them sufficiently for the change. She does not have the huge court machinery available in Great Britain to educate the royals, and even that machinery has been unable to avoid scandals. In fact, ugly divorces and embarrassing sex scandals are more prevalent in the Windsor family than in most British families today. It's on Prince Joachim's interest to preserve the Danish monarchy, and he is not being very gracious about it. As the father of a blended family and a man whose ex-wife has been treated extraordinarily well, he really should have more common sense. I am sure King Charles III will also be reining in his royal family. Britons are in favour of the monarch by a significant but not immovable majority and it will be best to behave with less extravagance and more economy in a country and real,s with masses of working-class people some of whom are suffering quite severely from poverty and other economic disasters. This is difficult because no one likes to tighten their belts and also because a lot of expensive theatrical pomp and ritual is expected of the KIng and the working royals. Finding a middle way between extravagant display and frugality won't be easy. Fortunately, Kind Charles is a man who likes to think about global issues and who has a life philosophy of his own so with the right help he may manage it - which also means firing a load of fuddy-duddy old courtiers. He's spent a long time thinking about the job. I hope the same is true for the Crown Prince of Denmark too, and I hope some very wise people, including his mother, will take him in hand and get him ready. The job is a lot more encompassable than that of the British King. The royals all over the world are in an existential squeeze, and it's no good whingeing. What they need to do is live up to the challenge with grace and magnanimity!
I don’t know how well it will work for the Danish Royal family. The probably not ask the family to any Royal duties for them and honestly I wouldn’t feel the need to spend any time with them and instead do other things. No reason to spend Christmas or any holiday with the Royal family. They can pretty much kiss the grandchildren goodbye.
It's for the best
Alexandra chose to leave and separate herself from the Danish Royal family by separating prince Joachim. Her sentiments seem to be much like Meghans. Much respect for Royal families that wish to downsize the cost of the monarchy. Many of these children live a privileged life - and as for titles? Is it not the persona per se that has value?
Yes about time the stopped living off our taxes , unless your the heir . The spares should all be private citizens to earn a living in life .
But I think is offensive to compare Alexandra with Meghan . Alexandra comes from a very rich family of Hong Kong has a career in finances she met Prince Joachim and married him she was single no a divorcee had a good upbringing has a dirty past and she really loved Joachim she learned Danish embraced the country and it's culture and was a good working royal but she had to divorce him because he was a womanizer and a drunkard they divorced and get along well and she married again with a count and she lost her title of HRH she had in spite of her divorce and if she said something it's because of her children that's all she is no Meghan
@@ileanaacacostaacosta1813 her attitude is like Meghan lmao.
I will wait for the officials, a privet jet with escorts.
Was the Danish porch getting crowded?
I'm sure this is a conversation point btw the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at their court in Montecito. There are parallels btw Prince Joakim and Harry, Both married unsuitable women, both were older than them. Countess Alexandra after her divorce was kept in style until her children were 18. Both of her sons are not willing to perform princely duties. They found service in the military to be boring, so they are not suitable to be modern day princes. Modern royalty requires the notion of service, if one prefers a celebrity lifestyle ( modeling/acting) that is about self promotion, not service.
Countess Alexandra after her divorce married a playboy and later got divorced again. She has done some public displays which are not appropriate. There has been some rivalry btw the two princes, so it is likely that the Queen of Denmark wanted to settle this since she is getting older and not have it as an issue between the brothers.
Well done her Majesty!
How's Queen Margrethe doing? I hope and wish you to overcome Covid. Come on and may the Lord help you!
She has run the country so well for so long so whst she does for her famiky goes in that line too ent noth financily an woke wise they must have put things an people in place
🙏🙏🙏
Queen Margrethe has done something Queen Elizabeth II never had the heart to do-to slim down the monarchy by stripping down titles. Wonder how Charles would go about this now that a precedent has been done.
If these kids think their identity lies in a title then their parents have failed them. These are the kinds of problems I want to have 😂. My mother who is a queen not letting my kids be princes and princesses so they could work….oh the devastation 😢. Also aren’t his 2 boys models already?
Models have a short shelf life.
@@peterc.1618 Yes, but it is a well paid profession.
@@mtngrl5859 I'm sure they'll find a second career as 'the model formerly known as prince'.
The right decisions..as long as it involves tax payers money, it does not need a huge chunk of HRH in the family who receives appanage from public funds.
Only working royals representing the state and fullfilling public duties are liable to appanage and priviledges.
PS wondering if this is shrewd “estate planning” so she can leave them some money? I hear the Danish Monarch is quite wealthy!
Will the children still have the title of Prince and Princess? The 'Highness' was taken away? Prince Joaquim's ex is lucky she has the title Princess!!!
I adore Queen Margrethe. She is doing this so her son Prince Frederick won't have to after her death. She is one smart woman, much like Beloved Queen Elizabeth II.
Now lets hope King Charles will follow suit for non working 'royals' 😉. Take away working titles so people can't use them for monetary gain. My opinion.
Wrong. Joachim's ex is a countess, no longer callef Princess Alexandra.
The children will not have their princely titles. They will have count/countess titles.
Alexandra was demoted to Countess after she divorced the Prince.
No, the children will no longer be Princes and Princess. They will be count/countess. Prince Joachim's ex is no longer a Princess since the divorce. She is known as Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg.
Didn't you that Alexandra after her divorce from Joachim she married a Count? Didn't you know that she was born in a very rich family from Hong Kong and had a career in finances when she met Joachim she had a very good upbringing was single no divorcee no dirty past no a con mother when she met and married Joachim and became a member of the Danish Royal family learnedDanish embraced the country and it's culture was a good working royal but she left Joachim because he drank and his womanizing and married to another Danish man a cCount so stop comparing her with Nutmeg you insult her
King Charles should really thank Her Majesty for the way forward with his broods
Margrethe II is not the first to do this. On 7 October 2019, Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden issued a statement rescinding the royal status of Prince Carl Philip's two children (at the time) and Princess Madeleine's three children in an effort to more strictly associate Swedish royalty to the office of the head of state; they are no longer styled as His/Her Royal Highness, but their princely titles remain and they are still duchesses and duke of their provinces, remaining in the line of succession to the throne. Carl Philip and his wife and Madeleine commented that their children now will have greater possibilities to shape their own lives as private individuals.
In the Netherlands, a distinction is made between members of the royal family and members of the royal house. Membership in the royal house is lost to persons who are still in the direct line of succession, but are no longer related to the current monarch within two degrees of kinship. When Willem-Alexander assumed the throne in 2013 this applied to the three children of his brother Prince Constantijn.
Kudos to the Queen of Denmark, I wonder if this will be an inspiration to other Royal Families...

She is always ahead of the curve on nearly everything.
I dont think they should remove the titles from royals that already have them and or were born with , the next generation however should not be given HRH titles but this one should’ve kept them
The Danish Monarchy costs the average Dane less than any other Monarchy in the world. But this seems to be more symbolic than anything. The Monarchy that costs it's average citizen the most? You guessed it, The UK.
But they have more elaborate weddings and funerals.🤺🇬🇧👌
We've already been through good intentions and goals with extremely poor style in this country. Sorry Denmark has decided to be the bull in the china shop also. We in the US know precisely how that feels. I feel for the kids and grandkids, abruptly wrenched from 'grace'.
:-)) i agree, they dont care about Denmark :-))

The problem here I think, is that they have had their titles since birth. It's not like they were infants. That is the same as telling a teenager, "Oh, by the way your name isn't Smith anymore, it's really Jones. We decided we didn't want you to have that name anymore." Should King Charles III tell Anne, Princess Royal she has no title now with her living her entire life with that title? From what has been said about her, she is one of the hardest working royals. Wonder how the public would feel about that. If the queen was going to do this, she should have done it before the children were ever born. They have to be devastated and feel that "Granny" is showing favoritism. Frankly, I would go NC with her. She's just trying to win brownie points with her subjects. Working royals get paid. Untitled royals do not no matter how much they work for the crown. I've written the truth and you know it. As a grandmother, she stinks.
I agree she should have changed the custom for the future, rather than strip existing titles. Except for the modeling grandson who marched his title in a hotel ad.
How extraordinary. I’m really surprised by this… can’t imagine that HMTQ would do that HMTQ did the right thing
Now England needs to strip Harry And Megan of their titles….their not working royalty
The sussexes will not be stripped of their titles, trust me. The York sisters aren't working royals either, but they keep their titles, right?
Lesley Taylor....I think that the Queen saw that Harry & Meghan is the quintessential example of how not to be recipients of huge sums of welfare grants from the British taxpayers and that was the driving force behind her decision.....I heard that she and late Queen Elizabeth 11 used to talk regularly....just perhaps a conversation was had before she passed...referring to the British Royals as working is kind of a stretch....and as for removing the Sussexes titles.....once that is not a code for them to receive Princess Diana's fate...I will say by all means....they still would be the most popular EX-ROYALS and the money earners for those gossip rags!!!!
@@jcruby2328 I beg to differ. The act in Parliament to give the Monarch the power to remove titles was brought to strip Andrew of the Duke of York, but it is more likely to be used on the Harkles due to the amount of damage they have done.
Poor thing...... Harry and Meghan are occupying every waking thought you have.
Re the Danish royals being stripped of their titles: if they all were being financially supported by the crown, then I can see the benefits. However, what is the downside to the crown of having fewer members with HRH titles? While it does limit them from making money in certain ways, couldn't that be worked out so that if they agreed to be circumspect regarding a job or profession, they could keep their titles?. What about letting them keep them until they should decide to do something that would require them to give them up, temporarily perhaps? The whole thing seems very unfair.
Prince Joachim's children were NOT receiving taxpeyer money and NEVER would have, whatever titles they held. I don't understand the reason for doing this. How is stripping her grandchildren of their titles "strengthening the monarchy?"
@@kimberlytyrcha5930 Lady C makes the point in her latest video that it is wholly inappropriate for a Prince of a reigning royal family to work as a model; even Lady C's own father viewed it as unsuitable for an aristocratic lady during her own youth. Flunking out of the Danish military doesn't seem to have gone down too well either...
I don believe Price Joaquin knew about how his children would be outlasted months ago. This morning interview showed he's kind of affected. maybe the queen was talking about the subject for long but never confirmed, she saw them last week duringthe GoldenJubilee multiple celebrations , why not tell them in person? is kind of cold and sad especially for the two eldest who always use their position to show how proud they are to be Danish 😢 .
Really do you have to be a Prince or Princess to be a proud citizen. Just shows how their parents did them a disservice. Millions of danish patriots are proud living a life of meaning without titles .
King Carl XIV Gustaf of Sweden did the same thing in 2019.
Queen Daisy has had a week 👀
She's probably not in her right mind.Why remove her grandchildren from there birth right.What a bad grandmother.
The only one who should have it is the heir and the heir after that. Myself personally would probably say by gram and never speak with her again. You dump me I dump you….lol. Basically become a republic and take all their titles.
Why only these children?
La reine de Danelark devrait faire juste un seul enfant, pourquoi elle en avait fait 2 si elle ne voudrait pas que ces descendants prennent le titre royal
😳😳😳😳Daisy, what have You done??? (I agree with You,smaller monarchies work better...HEY,UK!!!listen!!!!)
I’d say I’m really shocked at demoting the kids of Joachim…the Danish Royal family isn’t all that big (if you look at the immediate family of the Queen), if basically now the only important people are the next 2 heir apparents (2 generations) then it might be time to start thinking about do they need any royals at all? I’m a big royals person but pulling a move like that is kind of shitty.
Prince Joachim and Princess Marie , should be given proper roles as personal assistants to Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Marie. This would enable Princess Isabella to assist her brother Prince Christian, when he becomes Crown Prince Christian.This would leave Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine free to plan their own lives.
The Danish Royals cost the least amount to the citizens of Denmark than any Monarchy on earth. $2.10 per year. They get it back in tourism tenfold. The Danes are the nation most happy with their Monarchy.
The Crown Prince Frederik (the future King) has 4 children, so there is no need to worry about the future. His eldest son, Prince Christian, will one day have his own heir and spare(s) and on and on. If they didn't slim down now there would be too many princes/princesses with nothing much to do but twiddling their thumbs and getting into trouble. Monarchy is an expensive thing too - the people might not be too pleased having to support a big brood and republicanism will rear its head.
@@sheilanixon4479 I agree because suppose something happens to the Crown Prince and he has no children? She would be the next in line but if she is not trained to support her brother she would have no clue on what to do!
First time I have watched this channel. I like your professionalism in reporting the news regarding the Royals. I found it very interesting! I think I will enjoy watching in the future. 😊
I am not going to directly comment about the removal of Danish Titles but as a Grandmother I am sure that any decisions of any kind 😊she makes are well considered especially of her loved ones
I totally agree that sliming down is wise but to take away a title 🤔… something feels off here… I am stunned!
Are you really ? We all are witnessing what Titles even when they move to another continent to be just H
Its shocking but perhaps because the Queen’s four grandchildren with Prince Joachim would not succeed and perhaps to slim down the monarchy. But they should still be princes even though no more part of the monarchy
Joachim, Alexandra and Marie complains.......when their young children prefer modelling but not even able to train in army......to serve the country....
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I think that the queen has made a smart decision to remove her grandchildrens titles makes them less likely to be nagged by the media
She's shedding more attention on them by doing this, especially here in Denmark. She's lost a lot of popularity is all I can say. #TeamPrinsJoachim
Since modelling is preferable to serving in the army,.....
We love our Queen Margarette 2.. remove the titels as a prinsesse from her Grand kids. Her decision and why ? There`s maybe a problem to be sure !
Brave move by the queen she’s a grandmother she’s knows what’s best for those 4 grandkids
WOW !
Seems to me that Countess Alexandra is like the MM of Denmark but with talent. 😜Perhaps king Charles can look at this and get ideas 💡☺️
Ridiculous announcement!
Count or Countess
Is no more or no
Less in the forefront
Than prince or
Princess! These
Children are being
Excluded from their
Rightful status!
The Queen should
Be ashamed of herself!!
Looking forward to getting another "title stripped" shocking news...😉😃
hmmmm painfullll
👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
Perhaps their reactions support her decision.
