The four children of Margrethe’s youngest son, Prince Joachim, will no longer be referred to as a prince or princess, the oldest regal monarchy in Europe said last week.
Queen Margrethe, 82, said in a statement released Monday, It is my duty and my desire as queen to ensure that the monarchy always shapes itself in keeping with the times.
Sometimes, this means that difficult decisions must be made, and it will always be difficult to find the right moment,
On September 28, hours after the palace announced its statement, a visibly touched Joachim told the Ekstra Bladet newspaper in Paris, that are all very sad.
Adding, It’s never fun to see your children being mistreated like that. They find themselves in a situation they do not understand.
