I read about that Lilla, and thought "And so the circus begins." I'm all for gender equality, but to the extent that a reigning Queen's husband is a Prince (Consort) and the first male in the land. Giving the title of King to a reigning Queen's husband would create a large amount of confusion, as King is the title above Queen.
Another article, I think on JP.dk, I read said that it would never happen though.
I agree.. As much as I would want equality among royal houses, the granting of the title King to the Prince Consort will only create confusion. For us royal watchers, we may know the difference or perhaps understand why a particular Prince Consort is given the title of King, however, when you try to explain it to other non-royal followers it will only create confusion. Majority of the people on earth know that the King is higher than the Queen. If Henrik will be King how on earth can you explain to that person that even if he is King, his wife the Queen is the true sovereign and monarch. I think it will be unfair to the sovereign Queens and the future Queens. I think it would be better to stay at that tradition.
