from four of her grandchildren, but has refused to change her mind.
"This adjustment ... I view as a necessary future-proofing of the monarchy," said Europe's only reigning queen and the continent's longest serving monarch. She has not altered her decision. "It's never fun to see your children being mistreated like that. They themselves find themselves in a situation they do not understand," Joachim, 53, said.
"The children feel ostracized. They cannot understand why their identity is being taken away from them," Alexandra said. Margrethe's decision was in line with moves that other royal houses have made in various ways in recent years. In 2019, Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf announced that the children of his younger children, Princess Madeleine and Prince Carl Philip, would lose their royal titles. His oldest daughter, Crown Princess Victoria, is heir to the throne, followed by her children. They will retain their titles.
