I have read and re-read everyones comments, but forgive me I'm still confused:
How can a "Danish" Queen give out French titles ???? Could Queen Elizabeth give out Greek titles??? both Queen's have husbands from another country that is a republic!I could see Queen Margrethe "creating" new Danish titles. When Frederik & Mary become King & Queen (I hope its many many years in the future) could Fred give a "Scottish" title to Mary's father?????? |

It is not a French title. France never recognized Monpezat as a noble family so Margrethe is not stepping on foreign toes by awarding a foreign title. She is merely incorporating her husband's family name into the family name for the sake of posterity - and her husband's ego. It's not unlike the Dutch who use the German name 'Mr(s). van Amsberg' as part of their official name.
It probably would have been better to make the new moniker: Prince(ss) of Denmark, Mr(s) Monpezat instead of Count(ess).
