Tensions are running high in the Danish royal family as Crown Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik reunite with Prince Joachim and Princess Marie on November 12.
The couples gathered at Copenhagen City Hall for a seated lunch as part of Queen Margrethe’s 50th Jubilee celebrations.
However, this reunion was far from a happy occasion, as they were under strict orders from the Queen to be on their best behavior.
According to sources, the Queen has fallen into a very upsetting situation during what should be her golden year.
The only person who can help her now is Prince Joachim, who must be seen in Denmark playing the role of a happy family member.
This drama began in September when Queen Margrethe announced that she would strip Joachim’s children of their princely titles.
Joachim himself admitted to having second thoughts about returning to Denmark when his job at the Paris Embassy ends next year.
While it may have seemed like the feud erupted overnight, tensions have been brewing beneath the surface for quite some time.
Reports suggest that Joachim and Marie were banished to live in France in 2020 following a fallout with Mary and Lee Testament Frederik.
The reason for Frederik turning his back on his brother has now been revealed.
According to Spanish magazine Vanitatis El Confidential, the Crown Prince was heartbroken when Joachim fell deeply in love with his wife.
Queen Margrethe insists that her decision to strip the grandchildren of their titles was to allow them to lead normal lives and ensure the survival of the monarchy.
However, many believe that it has had the opposite effect.
Royal expert Trine Fellmann describes it as a very real crisis, as it shattered people’s image of the Queen and the royal family.
In conclusion, all eyes were on the Danish royal family as they reunited amidst ongoing tensions.
The lunch at Copenhagen City Hall, meant to be a joyous occasion, was overshadowed by the strained relationships within the family.
Queen Margrethe’s decision to strip Joachim’s children of their titles has caused further division, with Prince Joachim himself expressing doubts about returning to Denmark.
