The year is off to a great start for those who have always wanted to know about King Charles’ enlarged prostate and Duchess Kate’s abdominal health. But for the rest of us, this is a particularly uninteresting time to keep up with the British royal family. The fleeting pleasures of repeatedly encountering Britishness ‘in the hospital’ can take us far.good crown is over, so there’s no need to fight with such boring content.
It might be time to change the channel. Ever since New Year’s Eve, when Queen Margrethe II of Denmark announced plans to abdicate her throne to begin moves towards a swift succession for her son Frederick, I’ve been wondering what’s going on with the Danish royal family now. I was thinking. To be honest, I think this probably has something to do with my first visit to Denmark a few months ago. We also went inside the church where Margrethe will eventually be buried. They have already chosen a certain room and have everything. When you visit the grave of a living person, you can’t help but be curious about how that person filled their time between now and when they started living there.
Incidentally, Margrethe abdicated on New Year’s Day, which came as a surprise because, according to the Associated Press, it was “the first time in almost 900 years that a Danish monarch has voluntarily abdicated.” We’re talking now! She cited health issues as the reason for this, but it also appears to be a growing trend among European royal families, from the Netherlands to Spain, to hand over the throne to the next generation. There is also speculation that Margrethe’s decision could spark a movement among her Scandinavian compatriots in Sweden and Norway.
Margrethe is known for her idiosyncrasies and passions, such as chain-smoking (though she quit after surgery last year), art and design, avoiding the internet and cell phone use, and she is famous for her love for Simone de Beauvoir. I have also translated . Otherwise, many people compared her to the late Queen Elizabeth of England. Because both had long reigns and were models of apolitical unity. For those of you who, like me, are curious about the Danish royal family, it seems like there are plenty of parallels to the British throne. Margrethe’s son is Charles of Denmark (his father/Margrethe’s husband died in her 2018). And in Denmark, there is Kate Middleton (an Australian-born commoner who became a princess and is now queen), but she is married to Charles’s equivalent, not William.
With Frederick now king, the family has received more attention than ever before in English-speaking publications. The King is on his first foreign trip as monarch, and his son, Crown Prince Christian, is babysitting the country while he’s away! Too many people want to visit Princess Isabella’s school! Queen Mary went to a handball tournament! Maybe some of these are a little boring…OK, OK, here’s the good part: When King Frederick kissed on the balcony of Christiansborg Palace after he was proclaimed king, they “Amid rumors of infidelity, it showed a ‘united front,'” per People. In November, the then-prince was photographed with the Mexican-born socialite, sparking speculation that they were in a relationship, but could the Queen’s abdication be a way for the two to get back together? ? Finally, some intrigue!
And following the Danes will be a good entrance into the royal family of other countries, since all these people know each other. Crossover episodes too! We hope we haven’t seen the last of Princess Maria Chiara of Bourbon-to-Sicily, who was rumored to be dating Prince Christian last year. Because her name/her title is too great. It would be nice to get an update on the Norwegian princess who forsook her duties and married a shaman. And wouldn’t it be out of the question for the Danish royal family to mingle with the billionaire, crop-loving King of Thailand? Because apparently he lives in Germany? How about adding the disgraced former King of Spain into the rotation?
To be clear, I have no intention of completely replacing the British Royal Family, nor do I intend to stop following them completely. I think this is more like deciding to have another royal family. real housewife Repeatedly, a blank slate leaves racism and crime relatively unchecked. I will continue to follow the main series.This is what the British royal family looks like real housewives of new york In this metaphor, this is already too complicated, so think before you reboot. However, I think there is room in my heart for new blood. There are also some new blue bloods. Extending this further, I think visiting Margrethe’s tomb was like eating at Sur, before I saw the movie. vanderpump rules, this is also what I did. (Maybe it was the pump.)
Please understand that I am not saying that I support the Danish royal family right now either. There is no denying the monarchy.But if I was You could definitely do worse than the Danes to keep the monarchy alive. First of all, the Danish monarchy is actually popular among the Danish public, with a recent poll showing that 70 percent of the population supports the monarchy, the Associated Press reported. Danish families are allocated far less funding than British families. Danes receive about $13 million a year in public funding, compared to $109 million for Britons. And whereas Charles’ coronation cost an estimated $200 million and took months to plan, the Danes carried out Frederick’s elevation to kingship in two weeks with far less fuss. –There was a ceremony, but no crown or scepter. Does even Greenland, a former Danish colony that currently has tense relations with Denmark, really like the royal family?
There are also specific reasons to be appalled about the British royal family. Prince Andrew’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and allegations of looting, Prince Charles and Duchess Kate, and more general racism allegations in the royal family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s overload. I’m not saying Danes don’t have skeletons like this in their closets, but if they do, I haven’t gotten them yet. For now, they’re the royal family that feels so glamorous. It’s so exciting to have a whole new dynasty and learn all the lore and intrigue that comes with it.And when the British royal family gets interesting again, I’ll be here, ready to tune in in.
