Danish queen strips four grandkids of royal titles to give them normal lives [View all]
.
Denmark's Queen Margrethe, Europe's only reigning queen and the continent's longest serving monarch, on Wednesday stripped four of her eight grandchildren of their titles, the palace announced.
The official reason was to allow the four children of her youngest son, Prince Joachim, to live more normal lives, and follows similar moves by other royal families in Europe to slim down their monarchies, the palace said.
"As of January 1, 2023, the descendants of His Royal Highness Prince Joachim will only be able to use their titles of Count and Countess of Monpezat, their previous titles of Prince and Princess of Denmark ceasing to exist", the royal palace wrote in a statement.

Sucks to be #5. Good thing there won't be any resentment.
The grandchildren are aged 23 to 10, so the youngest are old enough to know what's going on. Pre-teens and teens will feel this the most, and that seems to be who are being hit by this. Their identities are being pulled from them as they are entering early maturity.
