Well in Sweden they opted for a gender-neutral Royal succession that means they also have to accept that a king isn't higher than a queen but that both can either mean the ruling monarch or the spouse of the ruling monarch.
I have never heard of a situation where miss A marries mister X, becomes mrs X, than divorces mister X to remarry mister Y and miss A and mister Y are than known as mister and mrs X. I don't know if Danish law allows that, but i guess that is up to the Danes to decide if that fits their ideals. As for the transmitting of noble titles in both the male and female lines. Yes that will increase the amount of people with a noble title but i don't see any objection to it. Noble titles are just extensions to someone's familyname as far as im concerned. So what if half the population has a noble title? (i doubt it would ever come that far but still) It doesn't mean anything. People aren't better or worse because they are part of the nobility, they don't have more rights than others or more duties. Just like everybody else they have to live their lives, try to make a contribution to society, pay their taxes and stick to the law.

: Royalty and nobility are closely connected

: You are welcome to have that opinion, but I

: I suppose you also like the idea that

:
: Just like family-names the ex-spouse cannot

:
: Names can certainly be transferred from

:
: Each country may have different rules, but

: divorcing the count. Some may even have
