Denmark's Queen Margarite made a surprising announcement on December 31st, revealing her decision to step down as the country's monarch.
In a historic move, she handed over the reins to her son, Crown Prince Frederick. The news sparked speculation about the possibility of other European monarchs, such as King Charles, following suit. Concerns grew within the royal circles, with Prince Harry and Meghan fearing that Prince William might soon ascend to the throne, potentially complicating their plans.
Recent reports shed light on an intriguing development involving Prince George, the younger brother of the future king. Sources suggest that Prince George's actions may serve as a warning to Prince Harry about potential challenges in the future. As Danish Royal history approaches a significant milestone, Crown Prince Frederick is set to ascend to the throne after Queen Margarite's 52-year reign. However, not all members of the royal family will be present for the momentous event.
Notably, Prince Joakim, the king-to-be's younger brother, will attend to support his sibling. However, he will do so without the company of his wife, Princess Marie, or their children. The Royal palace's press office revealed that Marie will remain in Washington, where the couple resides, while Prince Joakim fulfills his role as an attache to the Ministry of Defense. The palace spokesperson clarified that Joakim's children would not attend due to their school commitments.
The family dynamics within the royal household have exhibited signs of tension since Queen Margarite's decision to strip Joakim's children of their HRH titles in 2022. This move, replacing them with the titles of Count and Cess of MAA, drew strong disapproval from Joakim. Similarly, Prince Harry faced challenges when the Queen curtailed many of his privileges upon his move to the United States with Meghan.
Rumors circulated about Prince Joakim harboring a crush on his brother's wife, Princess Mary, prompting the family's relocation to the United States. Parallels can be drawn with Harry's admiration for Catherine, expressing a desire to marry someone similar to his brother's wife. As William prepares to ascend the throne, Harry may or may not receive an invitation to the coronation. If invited, he might return alone to England, as Meghan and their children might stay back due to alleged discomfort with Kate wearing a crown.
Calls for Prince Charles to pass the crown to Prince William amid Queen Margarite's abdication have surfaced. Royal author Phil Dampier speculates about the possibility of Charles considering a similar move in the coming years, especially if his health declines. Prince Harry's potential return to the UK next month has ignited discussions about his feelings for Britain.
Astrologer Julian Venables suggests that Harry's return in February might prompt Meghan to view the country differently, emphasizing Harry's quintessentially English nature and potential homesickness. Meghan, too, is said to encounter significant astrological events around February 17th, potentially affecting her perceptions and emotions toward Britain.
