Muhler, I know you're our Danish Royal expert. What seems most likely to you right now? What is the dominant story in Danish media?
Thank you.
But not an expert here though.
I don't know.
BT has in a previous article written about something QMII said in the interview with Belgian TV, that she and PH are getting old.
So the thought of some kind of official semi-retirement, with M&F officially taking over in everything but title may be a likely thing.
I.e. a kind of regency for M&F.
Perhaps because QMII will focus on looking after PH?
But then PH is alive and well enough to travel to Egypt and the West Indies... On his own.
I won't even rule out a divorce, even though I consider it most unlikely.
There is also the possibility that QMII has been diagnosed with something and will abdicate. A morbid thought, I know, but a possibility.
Then there is the possibility that this is simply a dinner and that's it.
But such dinners are rare. It's actually only the third such dinner since 2000. In 2003 in connection with M&F getting engaged and again in 2009, when a PM left for an international post.
- I don't think there is any danger our current PM will leave the seat he has glued himself firmly to nor is there any danger of him getting an international post of any significance.
And somehow I doubt Christian is getting engaged.
TV2 wrote an article earlier today about this subject. They don't offer an explanation only that it is cause for speculation.
Mystik om sjælden statsrådsmiddag: Dronningen skal mødes med regeringen - TV 2
We can't rule out an abdication though. Because QMII would very likely deny considering such a move until everything and everybody are ready. because even hinting that she would not rule out an abdication would be sensational!
