The Danish royal family is a 1,000-year-old monarchy.
They live lavish lives.
They’ve got a rich and intriguing family history.
They have a surprisingly high amount of support from the Danish citizens.
They’ve got a foreign queen.
They also have incredibly complex and compelling family dynamics.
What else could they possibly have?
Seriously, if anyone is bored of the British royal family, the Danes are ones to study.
Unfortunately, however, the Danish royal family has also suffered many tragedies.
“I felt alone in my pain.
“I would have liked to have spent more time with her.”
Less than a year later, Henrik died.
His title long bothered Henrik, and he made it clear to the public.
My wife hasn’t shown me the respect an ordinary wife should show her spouse.”
Still, feelings were hurt by the decision.
“We weren’t happy about the way it happened.
But it’s a family thing.
It’s complicated,” Princess Marie, Joachim’s wife, said, perThe Washington Post.
“It’s also their name.
It’s their identity since they were born.
So it’s more than just what people see as a title.”
“Between us, it is more complicated.
I experience the same dissatisfaction as my father.
Even Queen Margrethe II has spoken plainly about the issues her family has faced.
“Difficulties and misunderstandings may arise in any family, also in mine.
The whole country has witnessed that.
I want people to know that it wasn’t our choice.'”
But things for Joachim and Marie aren’t so bad in the United States.
“We are deeply shaken by the reports that have come out about Herlufsholm recently.
In response to the allegations, the school’s principal lost their job, and the entire board resigned.
“We want every student to feel and be safe.”
Some of the conspiracies, though, were based on actual events.
It would have caused major problems.
The queen has always seen Mary as a tremendous asset,” royal expert Phil Dampier toldThe Telegraph.
The news did not like many Danish citizens.
But that doesn’t make it any less devastating when children leave.
Just ask Queen Mary.
that she would miss her eldest child a lot despite being eager for him to embark on new experiences.
In 2024, Margrethe fell while at home and was subsequently admitted to the hospital.
The incident was not major, but it did lead Margrethe to miss a scheduled event.
“We take it day by day.
The doctors are the ones who decide,” King Frederik X said of his mother’s condition.
“I had the opportunity to visit her a few times since she came home.
She’s super cool and keeps her spirit high.
But Margrethe’s health issues didn’t begin in the 2020s.
Back in 2003, the former monarch underwent surgery for spinal stenosis.
