Queen Margrethe II of Denmark announced that, four of her grandchildren would no longer hold their royal titles of prince and princess.
This decision affects Prince Joachim's children: Henrik and Athena, from his marriage to Princess Marie, and Nikolai and Felix, from his first marriage to Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg. Instead, they will be known as counts and countesses, addressed as excellencies.
The queen’s rationale was to give these grandchildren the freedom to shape their lives without the obligations that come with royal titles.
This aligns with similar adjustments in other European monarchies, such as Sweden and the Netherlands, which have also slimmed down their royal families.
But - there is a back story to it…..

In a story that seems plucked from a fairy tale, a young woman born in Hong Kong won the heart of Prince Joachim of Denmark, causing a sensation and captivating the public.

This wasn't just any love story; it was a journey of a commoner entering the world of royalty, complete with its challenges and triumphs.

Think of the surprise and excitement when Prince Joachim, a young Danish royal, fell for Alexandra, an ordinary woman from China who was also five years older than him. Despite many obstacles, they married in 1995, making Alexandra the first Chinese woman to become a European princess.

Their story seemed destined for a happily ever after, but it took a turn in 2005. Who is this complex royal family? What challenges led to a royal split? And how did the parents of the royal grandchildren react to Queen Margrethe’s decision to strip them of their titles? Watch the whole video to find out.
