Denmark’s Queen Margrethe has stripped four of her eight grandchildren of their titles, the palace announced.
“As of January 1 2023, the descendants of His Royal Highness Prince Joachim will only be able to use their titles of Count and Countess of Monpezat, their previous titles of Prince and Princess of Denmark ceasing to exist,” a statement from the royal palace said on Wednesday.
“With her decision, Her Majesty the Queen wants to create a framework for the four grandchildren, to a much greater degree, to be able to shape their own existence without being limited by the special considerations and obligations that a formal affiliation with the Royal House as an institution implies,” the palace said.
“The queen’s decision is in line with similar changes that other royal houses have carried out in recent years in different ways,” the statement added.
The mother of Prince Joachim’s two eldest sons told Danish media she was “shocked” by the decision.
“This came from out of the blue. The children feel excluded,” Countess Alexandra told the daily BT. “They can’t understand why their identity is being taken from them.”
