i just think it would be quite strange, as the UK is quite conservative...
This is an interesting thread. However, no one to my knowledge has mentioned the fact that in England, the monarch's coronation is a Christian one, with prayers made to Jesus, etc. etc. So, my question is this: how could an English king in good conscience, make the vows to God, Jesus, etc. during the coronation ceremony, while knowingly practicing something that is not condoned by Christianity?
What does everyone else think?
I have read that Prince Waldemar of Denmark was homosexual. Because He had a relationship with his nephew Prince George of Greece.However, He got married to Marie of Orleans. The couple have many siblings: Margaret, Axel, Vigo.....
It is documented that Prince Waldemar of Denmark and Prince George of Greece had a relationship, eg "Northern Crowns" by John van der Kiste, 1996, paperback page 27.Where did you read that. I have never heard that story before. And a relationship with your own nephew??
He was acsolutely devastated when his wife died at early age, but maybe I am wrong.
If they were gay, I wonder if they would artificially inseminate?? And whose would they use? Would they marry and use theirs to keep the blood lines?
You know, that's one of those things where you want to know but you really don't want to know. . . .In the case of the British royalty, they would be required to marry, as legitimate heirs must be born in wedlock.

Waldemar was in a lifetime relationship with his nephew, HRH Prince George of Greece and Denmark, son of the former Prince Wilhelm of Denmark who became King George I of the Hellenes. George married HIH Princess Marie Bonaparte, a very wealthy heiress who owned a large share of the casino in Monaco. She had affairs throughout their marriage as well.
Prince Michel of Greece wrote a book about Marie Bonaparte. She sounds like she was a very eccentric person.
The book in Little_star's interesting link above has been written by Brian Whittaker, the Middle East Bureau Chief of the respected UK newspaper The Guardian. Sultan Qaboos bin Said of Oman is the only Middle Eastern ruler who is named in the book as being gay.
Oh Boris, Princess Marie Bonaparte was beyond interesting....Prince Valdemar of Denmark and Prince George of Greece actually had a long-term love relationship, and were supported (also financially) in this by Princess Marie Bonaparte. She and Prince George led separate lives from early on in their marriage but slowly developed an understanding friendship and never divorced.
Marie Bonaparte was not merely ‘eccentric’ but a most interesting personality. First a client, later a college of Sigmund Freud, she played a crucial part in his escape from the Nazis from Vienna to London and became one of the female pioneers of psychoanalysis herself.
