: That was more or less the same in the
: Netherlands until 2002. No one foresaw the
: explosion of Prince and Princesses. What
: started as a family of six (Juliana,
: Bernhard and their four daughters) soon
: exploded into a family of almost 30 persons.
: The Crown thought it was wise to modernize
: the kingship and with this also review the
: titulature. The less Princes and Princess,
: the more exclusive the title.
:
:
: But this is not what is going on in Denmark.
: At least not for now. The grandchildren of
: the Monarch are Princes and Princesses. All
: of them. What might happen to grand-children
: is another matter, but the Danish royals
: have for the last ca. 100 years understood
: to limit the more "distant" lines
: by creating them Counts of Rosenborg.
:
But it is not because they were "distant" that they were created Counts of Rosenborg. That title was given to Princes who lost their princely titles after marrying without the King's consent.
: What you are talking about is what will
: happen to the children of Isabella and
: Christian - and that's probably 30 years
: ahead in time, so...
