You doesn't give prince Henrik the credit he deserves... He have always supported his wife, and worked very hard for Denmark.. traveling and being ambassador for Danmark.. He didn't say., 'I want to be a King " And the only thing, he wanted was to be recognize for his Hard work!!!

What a phenomenal lady Queen Margrethe is -- only just now learning so much about her as she leaves the throne. She has always been overshadowed by QEII and her long and glorious reign -- but this should not have been so -- this lady is just so classy, intelligent, and not a bit self-promoting. I wish her all the best.
I love her name! Margrethe... It is a beautiful name! I have never heard of it before her, and have to wonder if there are any others with her name. Her husband was in the mean part of Alzheimer's. It is not like in the movies, as most go through a really harsh time of being mad at the world, distrustful of everyone, and scared to death inside. It is so sweet the Danish people took his illness with a grain of salt and continued to support the Queen and show him kindness.
I cant get over how much Princess Isabella looks like her Grandmother!!! And in regards to Prince Henrik....he loved and her and didn't give squat about titles. He came from nobility and knew he couldn't be King. A King is above a Queen in royal prioritisation and that cant be possible cause he wasn't the descendant to the Danish crown...his wife was...so he's Prince Consort like what Prince Phillip was. They knew their roles and were man enough to love their wives and be supportive to them whilst they did their duties to their countries.
And He asked a very good question..."If we all want equality, between men and women, why shouldn't a queen's husband be a king consort.. when a king's wife is a queen consort?" I actually agree with him, ... Why shouldn't a man be called a King consort?? If we are equal then it shouldn't matter??? ( And notes that he said King consort.. not King )
What a beautiful love story. It had to be difficult, especially for a man at that time to play a supporting role to his wife. He appears to have done it very well even though he had trouble accepting it. When you love someone you also need to make some compromises in order for the relationship to be successful one. I'm sure the Queen made compromises as well that we know nothing about.
I don't agree with you Prince Henrik, has never truly been angry about the title... But it is true, that he joked about.. that if you are married to a Queen you are a King... And he did put out a question..." If we all want equality, why should the husband of a queen not be The King concort.. when the wife of a King, is a queen consort ?".. It was the media, that marked up that stupid story!!! The media, always tried to make a story.. about rift between them.. often because of his humor... But Queen Margrethe loved prince Henrik and loved his humor as well.. He was a wonderful and very supportive husband and a great and very loved father and grandfather... And frankly.... I love his argument!!!!! Don't ask for equality , if you don't want it!!!!!!
Prince Henrik loyally supported his wife for all the years they were married. It was only towards the end that he said things that raised eyebrows. Initially there was some consternation and condemnation in the public and among the media to his comments and actions, but once it was learned that he was suffering with dementia public sentiment quickly switched to one of concern and sympathy. He was a brilliant man with many talents and abilities. Author, artist, sculptor and musician in his own right. He was as creative as his wife. He was extrembly knowledgeable in many subjects, and had a deep sense of commitment to his role in life as a royal person. He worked hard to promote and support Danish interests. He was well educated, having worked as a French diplomat in London before he married the future Queen of Denmark. He spoke five languages fluently: French, English, Danish, Chinese and Vietnamese. He was a French count, although his family’s status as belonging to the French nobility seems to have been questioned in recent years. By the way Queen Margrethe is not dead yet ( as of July 2024). She decided to step down mainly due to health reasons and to leave the job as reigning monarch to her eldest son in January of this year. In Denmark, we don’t crown our monarchs. Instead there is a public proclamation from the balcony at the parliament building by the prime minister standing next to the new monarch. It was a joyous event watched by an estimated 300.000 people and millions more on nearly every Danish TV channel and plenty of foreign ones as well. The Queen’s decision to step down, eliminated the grief of loss on such an occasion as previously this proclamation happened quickly after the passing of the former monarch. The Queen wanted to spare her son this double burden. Now the proclamation became an event for celebration of our new King and expressions of gratitude to our Queen, who so faithfully has served her country and people for so many years. No one begrudges her the opportunity to rest, relax and to pursue her interests as any other retired person in Denmark. Unlike the Netherlands where former ruling queens revert to the title of Princess once they relinquish the throne, this is not the case with our Queen. She is still referred to as Queen Margrethe.
Well, Prince Henrik was not right in his head when he died. I do not know for a fact if it was Alzheimer's, but it surely was some form of dementia, and he had been suffering from it for some time. As a member of nobility and a career diplomat, he knew very well that being named King to Queen Margrethe was not possible. In addition, he and the Queen were very much partners in life, collaborating in everything. So when I read about his insistence to be named king, coupled with his desire not to be buried next to her, I knew that something was seriously wrong with him, which was only revealed very shortly before his death. I don't think he was responsible for his attitude or his words by that time. I truly think he should have been protected against making those kinds of comments which only made him appear surly, ungrateful, and unfeeling.
Being born into a noble French family Henri de Montpezat knew from a very young age that a Queen 's husband can't become King, so the Press invented that story . So silly !
At the time where he asked, the question, was before he got dementia. He asked a very good question..."If we all want equality, between men and women, why shouldn't a queen's husband be a king consort.. when a king's wife is a queen consort?" . ( And notes here that he specifically says King concort ) I actually agree with him, ... Why shouldn't a man be called a King consort?? If we are equal then it shouldn't matter???
I don't understand why when a man marries a princess and she becomes Queen the husband actually would like to be King? When your first in love with the daughter of a king they definitely don’t tell you thing you need to know. The children can not have the husbands last name, you walk behind and you can't be King. Hopefully, his getting older made him cranky with fuzzy logic. What a lovely and stylish Queen. Enjoy your retirement/abdicated.❤❤
The last name thing didn't used to be true. Queen Victoria was considered to have left the House of Hanover and joined the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha when she married Prince Albert. (There was a court case about some of the jewels, which had been left to the "House of Hanover". The courts agreed that she would have to hand them over. So this was very much the legal view at the time.) The Royal House remained Saxe-Coburg and Gotha until they changed the name to Windsor (and gave up all German titles) during World War I, two monarchs later. If Queen Elizabeth II had followed that tradition, the royal family name would now be Mountbatten. I don't say that Prince Philip and Prince Henrik were right to be upset about their family names, because it is a very patriarchal expectation, but they were not asking for anything new.
Kudos to any Man who Forfeits their Career or Interests in Favor of their Wife, Queen or Not, cause I know Many Non Royal Couples whose make up is just that....❤❤❤❤❤️💯🤘
As a Nigerian, the abdication news of the Danish monarch her majesty Queen Magarethe II came to me As a rude shock. Prince Henrik should have known the rules which are A king is a male monarch and a Queen regnant shortened as Queen is a female monarch, ie King= Queen regnant. The wife of a King is a Queen consort also shortened as Queen and the husband of a female monarch goes by the title Prince consort. HRH the late Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh was titled Prince consort to her late majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The late husband of the abdicated Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands was also titled Prince consort, so that's the rule. Greetings From Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬.
Great video! I love learning more about monarchies from around the world. The Danes are pretty much quiet & scandal free, which is refreshing. Lol Unpopular opinion, but Prince Henrik was a brat over the title & status thing. The patriarchy sucks. A King is always a King, but even in the Royal world, but Queen’s title is always dependent on what her significant other is. That’s why there’s Queen Regnant (a Queen in her own right), Queen Consort (wife of a King), Queen Mother (Mother of a Monarch) & Dowager Queen (widow of a King). He just sounded like he was power hungry. He was given a higher title & had honors created based on his French title & that still wasn’t enough. He & Prince Philip never sat right with me over that. I’ll never say they didn’t love their wives, but just wanted to be the typical macho men of their day. It’s fine for a woman to be second to the man, but when the situation is reversed, they consider it emasculating. That’s also why Queen Elizabeth created the hyphenated surname for male line descendants.
I don't agree... Maybe prince Philip... But prince Henrik, has never in truly been angry about the title... But it is true, that he joked about.. that if you are married to a Queen you are a King... It was the media, that marked up that stupid story!!!
Yo desde siempre he pensado lo mismo que Henry con respecto a las monarquías dónde reinan mujeres. Me parece que lo lógico y lo justo sea que al igual que ellas se convierten en reinas consortes cuando se casan con un rey y ejercen como tal, a la inversa debería pasar lo mismo. El hombre que se casa con una reina debería adquirir el título de rey consorte, y ejercer como tal, sino ¿ dónde está la igualdad entre hombres y mujeres?.
Prince Phillip never demanded to be crowned a King though. It’s his uncle Louis who thought the Mountbatten would profit more, if the back then Lieutenant Phillip Mountbatten marries Princess Elizabeth. The only thing Prince Phillip was upset about was the fact that he would be the sole man in the world who wouldn’t be able to give his surname to his children and he had all rights to be upset though. Usually Queen Elizabeth‘s children should have been eligible to carry the name Mountbatten and not Windsor, as it was for Queen Victoria and her children taking up her husbands surname Saxcoburg & Gotha later Windsor, yet Churchill for some reason advised Queen Elizabeth not to allow it. So they kept Windsor, which made Prince Phillip upset. Also about the Prince title .. usually a consort of a reigning monarch is referred as Queen Consort or Prince/Princess Consort, but Phillip was still just known as Duke of Edinburgh even after Princess Elizabeth became Queen, he hadn’t demand to be made into a Prince , it was rightfully to happen and it did. You should remember Prince Phillip was already Prince Phillip of Greece and Denmark a Prince by birth , yet he readily gave up his titles in order to marry Princess Elizabeth of GB& NI. I doubt he would be suddenly upset about about not being a Prince lol. Now to Prince Henry he was always a devoted companion and husband to Queen Margarethe , yet later on he suffered from some type of severe Dementia which made him act up. That’s all to it and not these men being cocky .
Great collection of documentaries, such humble Queen, why people need 2 pursue their own prideful goals and cannot accept that supporting the Queen is no less status, the LOVE matters, nothing else...
Margrethe was never crownprincess, since she could be pushed aside if her father had a son. So she was heir in Danish called "crown follower" or crown successor. In English it is Heir presumptive. Oh and we have had many crownprincesses beforehand as you mention yourself Crownprincess Ingrid.
So you think Margrethe will be a commoner all of a sudden. 😂 Until January 14, Queen Margrethe II is of course still Queen of Denmark and addressed as Her Majesty. After January 14, she will still be titled Her Majesty, and will likely continue to use the title Queen, but Crown Prince Frederik will become His Majesty King Frederik X and Crown Princess Mary Queen Mary. Although in Danish, Roman numerals are not used for ordinal numbers, instead it becomes "Hans Majestæt kong Frederik den 10." no move will take place, but the castle is big enough for everyone to stay where they live now in Amalienborg Castle.
I mean, if you marry the female heir to the throne, what did you think would happen? Of course you’re going to play second fiddle and be overshadowed by her. Of course you’re going to give deference to her. Prince Phillip acted the same way. They saw it as emasculating, but it wasn’t supposed to be… it was more so about having respect for the MONARCH and supporting the monarch. Whether the sovereign is a King or Queen doesn’t matter… the sovereign takes precedence.
I agree with Henrique that HE should have been the one to host the diplomats when Margrethe fell ill. Mainly because that WAS his milieu as he had been a diplomat before marriage. I also agree that the husband should be King Consort or something to show his importance. And I especially think it’s stupid that the spouse-regardless of sex-is supposed to walk behind the monarch instead of beside their spouse. Prince Philip of GB had the exact same thoughts and desires and it’s too bad they couldn’t have talked to each other as friends about it. I love the monarchy but for it to continue and mature, there are still changes to be made. This seemed to be more about Henrik than Margarethe! It has always sounded to me that by the time of his death, he was suffering from Dementia.
0:20 Ingrid's father didn't become king of Sweden before 1950. 7:45 These are the grandsons Nikolaj and Felix, sons of Margrethe's and Henrik's younger son Joakim and his first wife Alexandra.
I'm always fed up to hear in documentaries how Prince Philip wanted more status. I have no sympathy for his view. By marrying a Queen he was automatically achieving a very privileged life. I also object to the Mountbatten name. The Windsor name for the children and their descendents is more than enough.
In Short: Insecure men should never marry a dominant woman. I think Prince Phillip was a real gentleman (a very rare character) who was supportive of his wife when it came to her being queen and he was not called King. No wonder Margrethe was so controlling in her attitude, handling the insecurities of her husband. A man who supports his wife; helps his offspring to be raised right.
You a lot of allegations about thr late prince Henrik .he Never wanted to be king he joked about it. Ir was NOT the queen that chose for the crown prince to represent her at the diplomatic lunch its protocol of the danish law . And why keep referring her majesty to as was or were? Her majesty is very much alive and yes they were devoted to each other and their family a truly wonderful couple prince Henrik is very much admired in Denmark amd much missed her majesty had the love if her family and us her people long may she reign ! Dronnigen large leven long live the queen
She did not alaw her son to outrank her husbond, from the day the crownprince became 18 year old he automatic outrankt his father, that is how a monarchy works!!!!!!
It is not because she did not dare to make him king, but she is a traditionalist!!!! And a king outrank a queen… so she was never going to make him king!!!!!!
There was a Margarethe I who reigned over Denmark, Sweden and Norway in the late middle ages along with her great nephew Eric and before that as Regent for her father
We are not republicans or royalist, we want to see freedom in Denmark, freedom of speech Ch, freedom of thinking, freedom for common sense and fereedom to care for all people equally. 🇩🇰Free Denmark from ductatirship. It has gone too far and for too long time🇩🇰 free is from a Monarchy who have intervened several times in European politics and change its course to the worse. 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰NOT a fairy tale anywhere and the media and historians want you to know the beautiful facts of a very dark nightmare. “historians” make false claims and do not research the subject. Only one British historian has made a clear statement about the end of world monarchies by 2030. He is so competent and also censored.
L' époux de la reine Margrethe avait raison. Il aurait dû devenir roi puisque l'épouse d'un roi devient reine. A une époque où l'on ne parle que des droits de la femme, on pourrait aussi parler des droits de l'homme. Dans la royauté, c'est une injustice flagrante.
I hope Prince Henrik married the girl and not the title. As Danes, we are happy about all input from abroad. But we stick to our thousand-year-old royal tradition. We only have reigning kings in Denmark. So thanks, but no thanks.
So unfair from Margaret’s , He loved Her, He deserved Being a King ! Maybe she thought better no, if she passed away first , Henrik will took the whole kingdom (!)
Henrik would have to be born as heir to take over the Danish Kingdom. And that he was not. And Margrethe is not unfair, to do wath he, she would need to change the Danish constatution, and that she has no power to.
If he had a title of king, it would be a consort, not as a sovereign. It wasn’t like back in the Middle Ages when they tried to get sovereign queens married and make them sign a document called the Crown Matrimonial, like Queen Mary I of England when she married King Felipe (Phillip) II of Spain. That marriage and those of her father’s strongly influenced Mary’s successor Elizabeth I on not marrying (smart move… history of England could’ve been very different if Elizabeth married and her husband would’ve taken more control). Thankfully, the conditions of Mary I’s marriage was that Felipe would only be co-monarch of England as long as Mary was alive. His reign of England ended upon her death. Anyway, what this has to do with Margrethe and Henrik is that even if he had the title of King consort, their son, Fredrik, was still going to inherit the throne from his mother, even if his father outlived her (which he didn’t), he wouldn’t become King (sovereign).
Whitney in dansk. Margrethe skulle forloves med franske Henri.hans far kunne ikke finde sin grevetittel.alle danskere holdt vejret i flere dage.det var både tv, radio og aviser der skrev om det.adelen vidste at det var løgn, for man gemmer sin tittel i en brandsikker boks, eller i banken. Flere dage efter sagde pressen at han havde fundet sin tittel, selv om det var løgn.havde danskerne vidst at Margrethe, kong frederik(dejlig konge),Folketinget og Frankrig som var flov over situationen, førte det danske folk bag lyset og fortalte ikke sandheden.prons joarckims børn går rundt med en falsk tittel.du kan gå ind på da.m.wikipedia.org under laborde de monteret familiens navn , og se at ha brugte en falsk høflighedstittel, som er værdiløs.2 gange søgte de om at få en tittel men blev afvist.derfor kan vi ikke lide Margrethe fordi hun har taget prins joarchims børns averetmæssige titler. Jeg var tilstede så du har dette fra første række. Venlig hilsen

MY love and adoration to Queen margretthe...intelligent classy & a very decisive queen....
She is a great woman. Most of the time i dont like royals, but she is so different. She is respect for what she is. She doesnt deserve it. She is.
Truly regal statuesque stately educated brave and beautiful. Born a true queen to reign.
Three royal sisters were beautiful, Annemarie was special, Margrethes wedding suit was one of the most beautiful, it suited her fantastic
Nothing makes a man more of a man when his wife's light shines greater! ❤

You should mention that prince Henrik suffered from Alzheimer's disease, which very probably affected his reasoning.
It most definitely would have affected his reasoning and thought process.

@@aurenitapedrazzi5036 No bullshit, the Danish court gave out an official comment on prince Henrik's disease. It was real.

Me parece que lo lógico y lo justo sea que al igual que ellas se convierten en reinas consortes cuando se casan con un rey y ejercen como tal, a la inversa debería pasar lo mismo. El hombre que se casa con una reina debería adquirir el título de rey consorte, y ejercer como tal, sino ¿ dónde está la igualdad entre hombres y mujeres?.
Let me tell you over Thing. Prince Henrik of denmark , has never ben a count, he was bourgeois Witherspoon No title. I AM Dennis.
Prince Phillip never demanded to be crowned a King though. It’s his uncle Louis who thought the Mountbatten would profit more, if the back then Lieutenant Phillip Mountbatten marries Princess Elizabeth. The only thing Prince Phillip was upset about was the fact that he would be the sole man in the world who wouldn’t be able to give his surname to his children and he had all rights to be upset though.
Usually Queen Elizabeth‘s children should have been eligible to carry the name Mountbatten and not Windsor, as it was for Queen Victoria and her children taking up her husbands surname Saxcoburg & Gotha later Windsor, yet Churchill for some reason advised Queen Elizabeth not to allow it. So they kept Windsor, which made Prince Phillip upset.
Also about the Prince title .. usually a consort of a reigning monarch is referred as Queen Consort or Prince/Princess Consort, but Phillip was still just known as Duke of Edinburgh even after Princess Elizabeth became Queen, he hadn’t demand to be made into a Prince , it was rightfully to happen and it did. You should remember Prince Phillip was already Prince Phillip of Greece and Denmark a Prince by birth , yet he readily gave up his titles in order to marry Princess Elizabeth of GB& NI. I doubt he would be suddenly upset about about not being a Prince lol.
Now to Prince Henry he was always a devoted companion and husband to Queen Margarethe , yet later on he suffered from some type of severe Dementia which made him act up. That’s all to it and not these men being cocky .
@ShinbiBelldandy pourquoi vous écrivez Danois avec une majuscule et Français avec une minuscule???
Great collection of documentaries, such humble Queen, why people need 2 pursue their own prideful goals and cannot accept that supporting the Queen is no less status, the LOVE matters, nothing else...
Margrethe was never crownprincess, since she could be pushed aside if her father had a son. So she was heir in Danish called "crown follower" or crown successor. In English it is Heir presumptive. Oh and we have had many crownprincesses beforehand as you mention yourself Crownprincess Ingrid.
So you think Margrethe will be a commoner all of a sudden. 😂
Until January 14, Queen Margrethe II is of course still Queen of Denmark and addressed as Her Majesty. After January 14, she will still be titled Her Majesty, and will likely continue to use the title Queen, but Crown Prince Frederik will become His Majesty King Frederik X and Crown Princess Mary Queen Mary. Although in Danish, Roman numerals are not used for ordinal numbers, instead it becomes "Hans Majestæt kong Frederik den 10." no move will take place, but the castle is big enough for everyone to stay where they live now in Amalienborg Castle.
Can you please make a video Life story of Queen Elizabeth ii of United Kingdom before her death .
I mean, if you marry the female heir to the throne, what did you think would happen? Of course you’re going to play second fiddle and be overshadowed by her. Of course you’re going to give deference to her. Prince Phillip acted the same way. They saw it as emasculating, but it wasn’t supposed to be… it was more so about having respect for the MONARCH and supporting the monarch. Whether the sovereign is a King or Queen doesn’t matter… the sovereign takes precedence.
I agree with Henrique that HE should have been the one to host the diplomats when Margrethe fell ill. Mainly because that WAS his milieu as he had been a diplomat before marriage. I also agree that the husband should be King Consort or something to show his importance. And I especially think it’s stupid that the spouse-regardless of sex-is supposed to walk behind the monarch instead of beside their spouse. Prince Philip of GB had the exact same thoughts and desires and it’s too bad they couldn’t have talked to each other as friends about it. I love the monarchy but for it to continue and mature, there are still changes to be made. This seemed to be more about Henrik than Margarethe! It has always sounded to me that by the time of his death, he was suffering from Dementia.
0:20 Ingrid's father didn't become king of Sweden before 1950.
7:45 These are the grandsons Nikolaj and Felix, sons of Margrethe's and Henrik's younger son Joakim and his first wife Alexandra.
I'm always fed up to hear in documentaries how Prince Philip wanted more status. I have no sympathy for his view. By marrying a Queen he was automatically achieving a very privileged life. I also object to the Mountbatten name. The Windsor name for the children and their descendents is more than enough.
What did he think would happen by marrying a future queen
In Short: Insecure men should never marry a dominant woman. I think Prince Phillip was a real gentleman (a very rare character) who was supportive of his wife when it came to her being queen and he was not called King. No wonder Margrethe was so controlling in her attitude, handling the insecurities of her husband. A man who supports his wife; helps his offspring to be raised right.
A King is considered to be of higher rank than a Queen... That is why a man can not be a King Consort over a Reigning Queen.
You a lot of allegations about thr late prince Henrik .he Never wanted to be king he joked about it. Ir was NOT the queen that chose for the crown prince to represent her at the diplomatic lunch its protocol of the danish law . And why keep referring her majesty to as was or were? Her majesty is very much alive and yes they were devoted to each other and their family a truly wonderful couple prince Henrik is very much admired in Denmark amd much missed her majesty had the love if her family and us her people long may she reign ! Dronnigen large leven long live the queen

Queen of king mother
Sorry the background-music is too loud....
She did not alaw her son to outrank her husbond, from the day the crownprince became 18 year old he automatic outrankt his father, that is how a monarchy works!!!!!!
It is not because she did not dare to make him king, but she is a traditionalist!!!! And a king outrank a queen… so she was never going to make him king!!!!!!

If she was the first queen regnant of Denmark, why is she titled Margrethe II and not the I?
There was a Margarethe I who reigned over Denmark, Sweden and Norway in the late middle ages along with her great nephew Eric and before that as Regent for her father

We are not republicans or royalist, we want to see freedom in Denmark, freedom of speech
Ch, freedom of thinking, freedom for common sense and fereedom to care for all people equally.
🇩🇰Free Denmark from ductatirship. It has gone too far and for too long time🇩🇰 free is from a Monarchy who have intervened several times in European politics and change its course to the worse. 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰NOT a fairy tale anywhere and the media and historians want you to know the beautiful facts of a very dark nightmare.
“historians” make false claims and do not research the subject. Only one British historian has made a clear statement about the end of world monarchies by 2030. He is so competent and also censored.
L' époux de la reine Margrethe avait raison. Il aurait dû devenir roi puisque l'épouse d'un roi devient reine.
A une époque où l'on ne parle que des droits de la femme, on pourrait aussi parler des droits de l'homme.
Dans la royauté, c'est une injustice flagrante.
Could say the same with the British Royal. As it turnes out. Prince Philip has more Royal ‘Blue’ blood running through him. Than Queen had.
I hope Prince Henrik married the girl and not the title. As Danes, we are happy about all input from abroad. But we stick to our thousand-year-old royal tradition. We only have reigning kings in Denmark. So thanks, but no thanks.
상왕으로물려나셨네요 서양은 상왕개념이없지만
A 52 year jolly just like LIZ except she did a 70 year tax payer jolly. It’s insanity
So unfair from Margaret’s , He loved Her, He deserved Being a King ! Maybe she thought better no, if she passed away first , Henrik will took the whole kingdom (!)
Henrik would have to be born as heir to take over the Danish Kingdom. And that he was not. And Margrethe is not unfair, to do wath he, she would need to change the Danish constatution, and that she has no power to.
If he had a title of king, it would be a consort, not as a sovereign. It wasn’t like back in the Middle Ages when they tried to get sovereign queens married and make them sign a document called the Crown Matrimonial, like Queen Mary I of England when she married King Felipe (Phillip) II of Spain. That marriage and those of her father’s strongly influenced Mary’s successor Elizabeth I on not marrying (smart move… history of England could’ve been very different if Elizabeth married and her husband would’ve taken more control). Thankfully, the conditions of Mary I’s marriage was that Felipe would only be co-monarch of England as long as Mary was alive. His reign of England ended upon her death.
Anyway, what this has to do with Margrethe and Henrik is that even if he had the title of King consort, their son, Fredrik, was still going to inherit the throne from his mother, even if his father outlived her (which he didn’t), he wouldn’t become King (sovereign).
She is a lier to the danish people, special in 1966. Denmark
What happend in Denmark in 1966????.
I’m as confused about this claim, at that point in time she wasn’t even the ruling monarch, that was her dad, she first took the throne in 1972
Whitney in dansk. Margrethe skulle forloves med franske Henri.hans far kunne ikke finde sin grevetittel.alle danskere holdt vejret i flere dage.det var både tv, radio og aviser der skrev om det.adelen vidste at det var løgn, for man gemmer sin tittel i en brandsikker boks, eller i banken. Flere dage efter sagde pressen at han havde fundet sin tittel, selv om det var løgn.havde danskerne vidst at Margrethe, kong frederik(dejlig konge),Folketinget og Frankrig som var flov over situationen, førte det danske folk bag lyset og fortalte ikke sandheden.prons joarckims børn går rundt med en falsk tittel.du kan gå ind på da.m.wikipedia.org under laborde de monteret familiens navn , og se at ha brugte en falsk høflighedstittel, som er værdiløs.2 gange søgte de om at få en tittel men blev afvist.derfor kan vi ikke lide Margrethe fordi hun har taget prins joarchims børns averetmæssige titler. Jeg var tilstede så du har dette fra første række. Venlig hilsen
Jeg tilføjer en note: slå op på da.m.wikipedia.org og skriv Greve de laborde de monpezat, så vil du kunne læse om familien . Hej
Hvad fanden er det for noget sludder?
Henrik was not an aristocrat, his family were not nobles. They pretended to be but they were not in fact.
Can you please make a video Life story of Queen Elizabeth ii of United Kingdom before her death.
