The Crown Princess turned on her side, watching Knox as he spoke. Aurélie's heart raced at the cool reality of him leaving. Her other title as Countess of Monpezat gave her a reason to go to France, even if it wasn't currently in her itinerary. "Are you sure you'd want to see me in Paris? I could make a trip to family estate in Monpezat, but Knox..." Elie rolled onto her back and huffed, staring at the ceiling. "It could only be a week trip, maybe three days in Paris and the rest at Château de Cayx in Luzech. This, as much as I want you and as much as I care for you, can only ever be temporary."

I know I am very late in this topic but what was the danish people's ( public) reaction to the titles scandal of princess marie and jocaim and his family

Hi nonnie! Sorry that it took me basically forever to get to this ask.

As I remember it, the Danish public was furious with Margrethe & her approval rating for that year went down to only 69% (not sure if it's a record low, but those are bad numbers for her). Most of the criticism stems from the fact that Joachim's children would have lost their Prince/Princess titles anyway, so why do it like this & not just stick to tradition?

Denmark has a tradition that the Prince & Princess title is reserved, so it's essentially only used by the monarch's children. Previously, when a royal married without the monarch's consent, they lost their Princely titles & succession rights. Instead, they got the hereditary title Count/Countess of Rosenborg. However, with time, this kind of became the norm: everyone except for the main line gives up their Princely title & instead becomes a Count/Countess.

This is also something Joachim, Marie, & Alexandra pointed towards when they spoke out. The Danish public, Joachim, Marie, Alexandra, Nikolai, & probably Felix as well, were under the assumption that at some point in the future, when they (meaning Nikolai, Felix, Henrik, & Athena) get married, they would give up their Princely titles & succession rights & instead "just" have a Count/Countess title.

I don't think there were any talks regarding what Count/Countess titles the children should have; normally, it was the Count of Rosenborg title that was awarded, but considering Margrethe created a completely new one for Alexandra when she divorced Joachim & made up the Monpezat one to make her husband happy... Basically, if I were a Dane, I would have assumed that either a) Nikolai & Felix get the same one as their mother, or b) all of Joachim's children get an individual one, so four new branches get created. Long story short, the Danish title machinery is almost as messy as the British one.

So, to summarise, the Danish public was very much on Joachim, Marie & Alexandra's side because why couldn't it just wait until the kids got married?
