Enough of the votes has now been counted and statistically it is now reliable to say it is a yes and the changes to The Succession Act have passed the referendum. 40% of the voters have turned up at the polls with a yes vote and 79 have voted yes.

Swedish is quite different from danish in terms of pronounciation and it is the pronounciation that cause problems for many foreigners. Not the grammer. Pronounciation is even more difficult for a french. As is french for a dane. Another issue is the distance between spoken danish and written...

As far as I can remember the 25.000,- dkk was the amount she was wearing on a particular day. Not the amount she spends. Besides she often does wear garments from danish designers, that - all though not ordinary medium prized chain brands, they are in reach for many non-rich people who does...

Yes, a ladiesouting :smile: .

The Constitution § 9 only states that if there is no heir and the throne is vacant, the parliament elects a new king and sets forth the new line of succesion. That applies if the possibilities according to the Succession act has dried out. Meaning, that there are no available heirs according to...

She resigned her claim to the throne, thus she can not claim it. However she is still not completely excluded according to the Succession Act, because she is a decrendant of Christian X and Alexandrine. The Succession Act is quite short, simple and easy to understand. Actually there is not...

The children of Anne Marie could in theory take the throne of Denmark, because the Succession Act does not exclude anyone of the decrendant og Chr. IX and Alexandrine. Reardless what ever title they hold "to" "of" or nothing at all. Neighter does it say anything about the whole matter. It is...

My favourite is the famous one with Ingrid, Margrethe, Benedikte and Anne Marie all dressed in black at their fathers funeral. Not a cheerful one but very impressive. Dignified with one strong mother and three daughters. It is one of those pictures you can "read" and not just watch. If anybody...

Felix and Nikolaj are sure to be demoted when they marry. I am sure of that. They are not the children of a king and the monarchy does not need them and they are not likely to receive an apanage and there is no need for them to reproduce little princes and prinsesses to roam around as ordinary...

Easy to explain .... she is french! Frech people usually have an awful time trying to master the danish pronounciation - many never do. French-danish is a linguistic car crash. French people can open their mouth 50 years after they have arrived and speak perfect grammar, but they can hide...

I am quite sure that Mary is referring to how Queen Margrethe raised her son. No doubt about that. .... BUT the queen herself have admitted that she was not a good mother when the two princes were very small and that things should have been different in their early years. ... so you can not...

The Royals does not plan trips like this just because they them self think it would be a nice thing to do. Organizations of various kind does. This was a part of the programme "Creative Nation" which is carried out by The Confederation of Danish Industries (DI). They actually ask the Royals if...

Translation of the link given, which is a §20 question posed in parliament to the Minister of Justice : Spm. nr. S 3937 Anne Baastrup (SF/Socialistic Peoples Party, a non-royal republican party): »Can the Minister confirm that (King) Konstantin has a danish passport, and if so, how he got...

You are very wrong. They indeed carry a genuine title as Prince and Princess of Denmark and so does all the children. ;) 2000-01, 1. samling - Svar på § 20-spørgsmål: Om kong Konstantin har dansk pas. Im sorry, but when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and The Ministry of Justice say so and...

Yep, and when the change has been processed by a new government we are likely to have to wait for a new government once more, so that they can process the referendum together with a normal parliament election. I doubt they will run the risk of setting this referendum up and running on it own...
