BB will send live from Princess Elisabeth's funeral tomorrow:

They will start at 12.15 when the mourners start arriving at the church. The casket will be carried out from the church around 13.30.
So keep an eye out for the links on BB's site tomorrow.
Thanks, Muhler. Will her funeral be as small and private as Prince Henrik's was?
We don't know if they ever asked permission to marry. Only speculation.
Carina is certainly an exception to the rule, even in modern times. Very rarely would a non-spouse be given such a de-facto position in any royal house. Lilian and Bertil were prime example. In his father's life time, Bertil and Lilian had to be discreet, and Lilian certainly didn't get de-facto status.
Husbands of royal princesses remain private citizens. Even Elizabeth had married with permission, her partner would not have had any role.
Maybe Margrethe wouldn't have allowed it. My point simply is you cant base what would happen off how her brothers were treated. The fact that it was under different reigns makes a very big difference.
I completely agree that Queen Margrethe II was not bound to make the same decisions that her father made. But in light of Princess Elisabeth's comments that she would have lost her title and role if she married her partner, I think she must have known what decision the Queen would have made in her and Claus's case.
My guess is that if she had married with the Queen's permission and kept her role after marriage, her husband would have become part of the Royal House. Princess Benedikte's husband stated that it was his decision to turn down a Danish royal title and continue being a private citizen. Apart from Henrik, he was the only husband of a princess of Denmark with the right of succession since 1853.
Why wouldn't they?She isn't some distant relative they had no contact with. I would expect the queen and a few others, at least her sisters.
Possibly, tommy100 was alluding to the feud between their parents which was caused by the 1953 Act of Succession.
