That would mean growing up out of their angst and self-centeredness. That would mean growing up out of feeling sorry for themselves and it would mean no longer drifting in and out of cheap clubs and no longer running around with/picking up cheap women. No more mooching around, no more whining, no more complaining, and no more making people around them miserable. No more causing drama, no more feeding their delusional narratives, no more ANY BULL!

I sometimes wonder if whether or not things would have been different if Frederick and Felipe had not been in that bar. Mary would be a struggling real estate agent and I am certain that Frederick would have spent a ton of time around people who could be helpful to Denmark in some way. Why two Crown Princes were in a bar in Australia is beyond me.

Why two Crown Princes were in a bar in Australia is beyond me. Mary and her friends were hanging around the bar probably trying to meet someone famous during the Olympics. I agree Keuifei about why the Crown Princes were in a bar when they could have been in other more upmarket places during the Sydney Olympics.

Crown Princess Mary wasn't just a 'plus one,' she is the Crown Princess and mother of a future King herself; Carole and Mike had no right or reason to be there and it is clear that other VIP delegates were bumped out to make way for Carole and Mike. Another mess caused by William and Kate. William for bringing the Midds into his family and Kate for being a willing vessel for her mother's social ambitions.

Aside: He's got a point - I wonder why the sudden change here? It seems ironic the push to actually remove titles, etc, from truly royal children, yet there are those who apparently have zero relation to the family. Sorry, but I cannot get over that point. Whatever happened, it wasn't handled properly.

www.celebitchy.com/786284/queen_margrethe_removing_my_grandkids_royal_titles_will_be_good_for_them/Queen Margrethe: Removing my grandkids’ royal titles ‘will be good for them’ September 29, 2022 By Kaiser Queen Margarethe, RoyalsAll is not well in Denmark. Specifically, there are shenanigans afoot in the Royal House of Glücksburg. This week, Queen Margrethe of Denmark made the bold decision to remove the prince/princess titles and the royal stylings from four of her grandchildren, all of the children of Prince Joachim. Prince Joachim is the younger brother – the “spare” – to Prince Frederick. Frederick and Crown Princess Mary’s children will all still be princes and princesses with royal stylings, because they are the children of the direct heir. But Joachim’s kids? They’ll now go by counts and countess of Monpezat and will be styled as his/her excellency, rather than HRH. Queen Margrethe had more to say about it yesterday: Queen Margrethe of Denmark has insisted stripping four of her grandchildren of their royal titles will be ‘good for them in the future’, in her first appearance since the dramatic decision. The monarch, 82, has removed prince and princess as well as ‘His/Her Highness’ titles from Nikolai, 23, Felix, 20, Henrik, 13, and Athena, 10, the children of her youngest son Prince Joachim.
Margrethe, who recently attended the Queen’s funeral, hopes the move will allow the siblings to ‘shape their own lives without being limited by the special considerations and duties’ that a formal affiliation with the Danish Royal Family involves, according to a statement released yesterday by the royal household.
Speaking at a function at the National Museum in Copenhagen last night, Margrethe said: ‘It is a consideration I have had for quite a long time and I think it will be good for them in their future. That is the reason.’

www.celebitchy.com/786284/queen_margrethe_removing_my_grandkids_royal_titles_will_be_good_for_them/Some comments: C says: September 29, 2022 at 8:22 am Suuuper messy. Yikes. I haven’t liked Marie since she criticized Meghan, but I feel bad for Joachim and Alexandra and the kids being blindsided by this. Reply ROAA says: September 29, 2022 at 8:30 am What did she say about Meghan? Reply Zapp Brannigan says: September 29, 2022 at 8:36 am “Princess Marie of Denmark said “complaining is useless” in an apparent criticism of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s retaliation against the media. Marie, who worked in marketing and finance before marrying Prince Joachim, said she is strategic about what private moments of her life she shares publicly in a bid to protect herself. In an interview with Paris Match, she was asked how she copes with life in the royal fishbowl and Meghan was mentioned as an example of a royal “complaining” about press interest” This was in 2019, equality says: September 29, 2022 at 8:43 am Well, she needs to share that viewpoint with Joachim then. I guess, it’s different if it affects you. TheOriginalMia says: September 29, 2022 at 8:33 am When did this happen? Reply Etha says: September 29, 2022 at 8:51 am Am surprised Marie said this considering, I read an interview that Joachim and her did where they said that they were basically kind of exiled to Paris ans she wanted it to be known that it wasn’t their decision. Nat says: September 29, 2022 at 8:53 am Well, Marie…”what goes around comes around”. She should have sat and ate her food. Now, what does she think of her husband complaining in Paris streets about his family’s treatment of his children. Good. Meghan’s karma is truly some high level thing. Her kids might loose their titles but at least she was smart enough to tell the world, these people were trying to push a narrative that her and her husband weren’t okay with and WHEN it will happen you will see it for what it is now the truth is out there. Now, you have Joachim being in his feel because he thought his mother and brother would be kind to him when they were literally treated him like a second rate royal and exiled him for France for a reason to be out of the way. His wife, Marie, now will learn a lesson. Reply Noki says: September 29, 2022 at 8:25 am The timing is certainly interesting. Reply HandforthParish says: September 29, 2022 at 8:29 am Sounds like maybe War of the Marie/Marys? Alexandra has been rather remote in all this. Based on about 2 minutes of googling, I have a feeling Marie is… difficult. Reply girl_ninja says: September 29, 2022 at 8:30 am I shared yesterday that this seemed shitty to do to the kids after you as the big boss queen has had all of that goes with the royal status. It’s how I feel about Meghan and Harry’s kids, their titles are their birthright. So let the kids have it. Periodt. Reply Chloe says: September 29, 2022 at 8:35 am Especially since it has already been proven that having a hrh prince/princess status can be separated from royal life. Example princess beatrice and eugenie. They are completely free to shape their own future. Reply equality says: September 29, 2022 at 8: am Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Having titles and styles hasn’t prevented Bea and Eugenie from living somewhat normal lives.

www.celebitchy.com/786284/queen_margrethe_removing_my_grandkids_royal_titles_will_be_good_for_them/Aside: I really hope that Prince Joachim sees what is apparently going on in other royal families and acts accordingly. The move seems extremely sudden...why?
And I was thinking the same thing, Snuffles...
and like that, I seem to have litte sympathy left for Crown Princess Mary's snub for Queen Elizabeth's funeral...
Snuffles says: September 29, 2022 at 8:34 am Am I the first to use the “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark” quote? This is getting juicy. At least Archie and Lili are too young to know what bad Grandad is doing and being royal isn’t their identity. But these other kids having their identity yanked from them so suddenly and callously is cruel. Was there money connected to having those titles? Are they losing financial support? Maybe these royal families aren’t as rich as their fronting. And/or they are getting greedy and don’t want to share. Reply ArtHistorian says: September 29, 2022 at 8:49 am Their father receives public money when he married his first wife, which was a breach of tradition where only the monarch and heir receives public money. Now there’s a moderate public pressure for him to no longer receive this money. Especially, since he he sold his estate for a very handsome profit. I have no idea what’s going on in the DRF behind closed doors – but it does seem messy lately. Joachim has seemed a bit adrift since he sold his estate, maybe because he no longer had a primary job and he wanted to work more for the DRF. But the royal house wanted to keep focus on the heir and his heir since Prince Christian will turn 18 soon. I think they don’t want too many royals on public money for reasons of survival. The they apparently agreed on the France solution (them working in France for the Danish Embassy). However, Joachim failed to ask permission from the Danish parliament to take his apange with him abroad. He was really criticized in the serious press and then he started whining that this criticism wasn’t fair – and that didn’t really land well with the public (we all have to dot our Is and Ts with stuff like this – and he just expects that the rules aren’t for him). Then he and Marie started giving interviews full of innuendos with the very worst of the Danish tabloid magazines, which isn’t a great look, mainly because of the publication they choose. This was very shades of Marie originally introducing herself to the Danish public as Joachim’s girlfriend through a big tabloid feature – interview + photoshoot. That was not received well and they initially broke up over it. I do think that Margrethe made a rare misstep here. Usually, minor Danish royals loose their title when they marry commoners (but this isn’t a good look either in today’s world). I think the best way would be to simply make a rule that the great-grand children of the monarch will not have titles. Then they avoid the mess of taking titles away from family members.

If the princes want to go into modeling or entertainment, they should not take their titles with them. Modeling is a vanity business if you don't need to do it to make a living and if I were monarch, I would have spares go into formal government service and be of service to the nation in that way. It would kind of 'codify' royals into service to the nation and keep them in a formal role that would require a high standard of public behavior and it would make them a lot more busy and hopefully smart about who they are going to marry/socialize with.
Then the monarch and direct heirs would be set on representation while the spares would be embedded in government in perfectly legitimate ways. It would provide them with genuine work, there are a TON of different areas for them to find a place that would suit them, and then they would be able to keep their titles and wear honors with credibility. Then if they want to go into the private sector, or entertainment, they have to relinquish their titles. Frankly put, I get sick of seeing celebrities getting easier access to the top than hardworking decent people.

Aside: The situation seems to have been handled very, very badly, leading to what will be damaged family relations, I think.

Aside: Trouble runs deep - here is something about the late Prince Henrik.
May be surprising for those not familiar with the Danish RF. www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/08/prince-henrik-will-not-be-buried-with-queen-of-denmarkSome grudges never die. Prince Henrik of Denmark is taking his bitter feelings out on his country over the fact that when his wife, Queen Margrethe, ascended the throne in 1972, Henrik did not receive the title of king. Per the French newspaper Le Figaro, a representative for the Danish royal family announced on Thursday that the prince has decided not to be buried next to his wife.
The prince, who has the title “prince consort” instead of king, has harbored anger over this since his wife’s coronation 45 years ago. He told * Le Figaro* that he sees this slight as a form of discrimination.
