: The offspring of Queen Beatrix' younger sons
: Prince Friso and Prince Constantijn are

: This move looks like the offspring of the
: Danish King's younger chidren will -in the
: future- be Count(ess) de Montpezat.

: Meaning that only children of the Sovereign

: I rather like the British way: Male-line
: grandchildren of the King/Queen are Princes
: and Princesses, and great-grandchildren are
: Lords and Ladies (except for Prince
: William's children). I hope that's what the
: Danish court will do for the children of
: Nikolai and Felix.
