“Countess Alexandra's red ball gown from her engagement portrait doesn't get talked about enough imo. She looked wow. The shape of the skirt, the tiara hairstyle, the off shoulder neckline, the embroidery!!! Everything about the look just came together most wonderfully. The only nitpick is that Margrethe gave her that ugly tiara but otherwise it was definitely the best wedding/engagement portrait to come out of denmark between her, cp Mary and princess Marie.” - Submitted by Anonymous

[ad_1] CNN  —  Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has apologized after eradicating the royal titles of 4 of her eight grandchildren. She’s not altering her thoughts concerning the transfer, nevertheless. The 82-year-old monarch, who earlier this yr celebrated half a century on the throne, announced on Thursday that from subsequent yr the kids of her youthful son, Prince Joachim, will now not be referred to as prince and princess. Instead, they'll solely be capable to use their titles of counts and countess of Monpezat and might be addressed as excellencies, as their HRH titles might be “discontinued,” in line with the royal family. Helle von Wildenrath Løvgreen, press secretary to Countess Alexandra, the previous spouse of Prince Joachim, informed CNN on Thursday that Joachim and his youngsters had been “sad” and “shocked” by the choice, which Queen Margrethe views “as a necessary future-proofing of the monarchy,” in line with a press release from the Queen launched by the royal home on Monday. “In recent days, there have been strong reactions to my decision about the future use of titles for Prince Joachim’s four children. That affects me, of course,” the monarch stated within the assertion. “My decision has been a long time coming. With my 50 years on the throne, it is natural both to look back and to look ahead. It is my duty and my desire as Queen to ensure that the monarchy always shapes itself in keeping with the times. Sometimes, this means that difficult decisions must be made, and it will always be difficult to find the right moment,” she added.

I now hope that we as a family can find the peace to find our way through this situation.” [ad_2] Source link

Tiaras of the future Queen Mary
I love a good list and @duchessofostergotlands requested one of the tiaras that Mary will wear as queen. As usual I had a lot to say.
Crown Jewels
Queen Caroline Amelie's Emerald Tiara
Tumblr media
Denmark is unusual among modern monarchies in that they still have wearable jewelry in their crown jewels. There is a diamond set, a pearl and ruby set, and of course the beautiful emerald parure. This tiara cannot be taken outside of Denmark and is only worn by the queen. I really hope Mary wears it for her first official portrait as queen.
Major Tiaras: Non-Restricted
Princess Louise's Pearl Poiré Tiara
Tumblr media
This tiara has only been worn by Queen Margrethe during her reign but previously was worn by crown princesses and princesses. It is a very important tiara but I wouldn't mind Queen Mary loaning this one occasionally to other people like Christian's future wife.
Queen Désirée's Ruby Parure Tiara
Tumblr media
Queen Ingrid kept this tiara even after her husband passed and then left it to Crown Prince Frederik for his future wife so it was never worn by Queen Margrethe. I expect Crown Princes Mary will continue wearing this tiara for now as the parure was extensively remodeled to suit her. When Christian marries, she may decide to pass it on to his wife establishing it as the de facto crown princess tiara, keep wearing it herself, or ideally keep wearing it while also loaning it the future crown princess.
Minor Tiaras
We don't yet know how Queen Margrethe will handle passing on her jewelry. In other countries with recent abdications, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands still attends tiara events but Queen Paola of Belgium and Queen Sofia of Spain do not. If Margrethe decides to keep attending them she may hold on to some of these for a while.
Grand Duchess Louise of Baden's Palmette Tiara
Tumblr media
This isn't my favorite tiara in the Danish vault because of the way it ends so abruptly instead of tapering off. Queen Mary's going to have to pull off some great tiara hair to cover that up.
Crown Princess Margaret's Turquoise Daisy Tiara
Tumblr media
Queen Mary looks good in turquoise but I'm really looking forward to seeing this tiara on Princess Isabella and Princess Josephine.
Queen Ingrid's Floral Aigrette Tiara
Tumblr media
I've loved the way Queen Margrethe played around with this tiara but I am looking forward to Queen Mary putting it back on a tiara frame like Queen Ingrid wore it.
Queen Margrethe's Naasut Tiara
Tumblr media
Queen Margrethe was given this tiara by Greenland in 2012 and I have been waiting for day it is worn by Queen Mary. I think the delicate gold flowers are really going to look great against her dark hair.
Personal Tiaras
Wedding Tiara
Tumblr media
Queen Margrethe gave this tiara to Crown Princess Mary as a wedding gift and Mary later had optional pearls added.
Ruby & Spinel Necklace Tiara
Tumblr media
Mary bought herself this tiara at an auction and debuted it 2015. I think it was a very smart move because it was only 8050 EUR (probably less than some of her gowns) and it will be a great piece for her children to wear in the future.
Tumblr media
Every country and monarch handles jewelry a little differently. Queen Margrethe gave each of her daughters-in-law a tiara but did not share any of her tiaras with them. She did share with her nieces (the daughters of her two sisters) when her sisters didn't have enough tiaras to loan them for events. I would like to see the future King Frederik X and Queen Mary change how the jewelry is dispersed.
First of all they need to stop giving away jewelry. The mainline has already lost the Queen Alexandrine's Diamond Drop Tiara to the Countess of Frederiksborg and Princess Dagmar's Diamond Floral Tiara to Princess Marie. Those are both beautiful, versatile tiaras that would have served the family well in the future. In the previous generation, Princess Benedikte was given Queen Sofia's Star & Pearl Tiara and her Floral Birthday Tiara made from other jewelry and Queen Anne Marie was given Crown Princess Margaret's Khedive Tiara and her Antique Corsage Tiara made from other jewelry. There's no reason to give away tiaras anymore to people whose descendants will have little reason to wear them.
Then to make up for not giving away any jewelry there needs to be more sharing! I don't want to see the same person wear the same tiara to every event. Queen Mary will have the Emerald Tiara exclusively and then may choose to keep the Pearl Poiré Tiara and Ruby Parure Tiara to herself but everything else should be shared among her daughters, daughters-in-law, and other members of the extended Danish Royal Family. It would make things so much more interesting.

Question for the podcast: how long will the Count of Monpezat title extend? Will Nikolai's great-great-great-grandson be a Count of Monpezat??
We didn't answer this in the podcast so I thought I'd answer it here! Essentially, we're not too sure, because Margrethe and Henrik only bestowed the title on their descendants (specifically Henrik's male line descendants) in 2008, and we haven't got to a new generation yet!
As the Count/ess of Monpezat is a genuine Danish title which is hereditary in the male-line, it suggests that it will continue through any male descendants, which means yes, Nikolai's great-great-great-grandson could be a Count of Monpezat. Isabella, Josephine and Athena's children won't be, as they aren't a male line.
The problem is, we don't know if any limits were put on the titles at the time. As we mentioned in the podcast, the Countess of Frederiksborg seemed to suggest that it was common knowledge in the family that her children would have lost their titles when they married and we don't know if this just applied to their prince/ess titles, or their Monpezat ones as well!
