Queen Margrethe II’s abdication came as a shock to fans of the royal family when it was announced during her annual speech on New Year’s Day. In an exclusive appearance on HELLO!’s A Right Royal podcast, journalist Wim Dehanschatter explained the “emotional reasons” behind the former Queen’s decision to abdicate.
“Margrethe became a widow after the death of her husband, Prince Henrik. She also caused uproar over her decision to strip her four grandchildren of their royal titles of prince and princess. Margrethe also received criticism from herself. “For her family, it became world news, and in that moment she was portrayed as a ruthless person. And for her, she did this to alleviate royal duties and expectations for her grandchildren.” I think they didn’t understand because they thought they were doing it.”
In the episode, hosts Andrea and Emmy also spoke to ITV News Royal correspondent Chris Shipp and Majesty magazine editor-in-chief Joe Little. Listen to the full episode here.
