I am puzzled how you can judge so easily that noone in Denmark thought she was needed and celebrated as a possibly future queen when they were married ??Actually, when Alexandra married Joachim and got the title of a princess nobody thought that she was needed or celebrated her as a possible future queen. Frederik was not 30 then and people expected him to marry. A few years later, especially after the birth of Nikolai, some warmed up with the idea of Alexandra as a future queen. But at the time of her wedding Alexandra got the title because it was the title of her husband to be.
And so will Marie if she ever marries Joachim. It would be strange to "punish" Marie for something Alexandra did (walking in and out and cashing in on benefits).
I think the royal boys in Denmark have proven rather clearly that they don't marry for political reasons as royals did in the past.There've been cases where men married their brother's widows... As for Marie, it's her problem how to deal with this look-a-likeness.

It's accepting things as they are.
Unless you are Margrethe and Henri's new intimate bosom buddy to whom they reveal all the families' innermost thoughts and secrets, I think you can skip the 'Remember:' part. There is nothing there to remember, just your speculation.
By the way, Marie and Mary are distinctly different names when pronounced in Danish so there is no need to try to cultivate problems on that account. The name Marie doesn't give rise to any problems with regard to the name Margrethe either.....

As I recall it the media did not speak of a possible future queen at the time of Alexandra's wedding and during her first year in DK, they were just delighted to have a young and pretty princess they could write about.
Agree!
Joachim was only 24 when he met Alexandra and Frederik 25. Frederik was 32 when he met Mary. Even 32 isn't an age for a male to become desperate because he still isn't married. Much better to think twice before jumping into a marriage and than not being able to stick to it.
Yes for a certain time his brother was seen as the somewhat more suitable for the position as heir. Nonetheless Frederik has turned the wheel in the meantime. Besides nobody knows if the Danes really whould have changed the princes if they could have done it. To think that one is more suitable and to change them are two total different things. Afterall at least to me it looks like the Danes allways had a very soft spot for Frederik regardless his faults and weaknesses.
The alleged needed future queen Alexandra is nothing more than wishfull and rather silly thinking of some of her desperate fans. No wonder they still hate Mary from the bottom of their hearts.
Marie (or any other woman) will become a princess if she marries Joachim as it should be. There is no reason to punish her for things that are total out of her control. Though I'm afraid Marie (or any other woman) will never be treated so generously by the state as Alexandra. Marie can work incredible hard and successful, the danish state won't provide another wife of Joachims a lifelong apanage of her own.

For strategic reasons it could be a disadvantage for Marie that she looks similar to Mary and almost has the same name. I think to work hand in hand within the royal family every member has to have a certain unique profile. Marie profile is a bit too near to Marys. This could create a certain rivalry and in some tabloids it already does. Nowadays strategy is still a very important issue in royalty.
Remember: Mary and Frederik were allowed to get married for a lot of reasons, one important reason was that Joachims and Alexandas marriage was over and it was time for a heartwarming royal event that could compensate this sad reality.
I am merely referring to how things looked in some people's (may be not all) back in 1995.Agree!
