As multi-quoting doesn't work most of the time, below the discussion that was going on in the Danish Court topic, that I would like to discuss further but without going off-topic in that thread.

Didn't Joachim indicate that his children would have to build up a life of their own?
Which is logical imo as there is no reason at all why they would fulfill an active royal role in the future (apart from attending some family events). The more interesting question to me would be what the roles will be of Christian's siblings. Will they expect all three of them to have an active royal role, or none, or only Isabella?

I think the trend in all royal families is to focus on the families of the current and the future monarchs (and their spouses). The rest of have incidental public roles. That will be the evolution going to 2030 or so I think.
DK
Margrethe & Henrik
Frederik & Mary
Christian & his future spouse
NO
Harald & Sonja
Haakon & Mette-Marit
Ingrid-Alexandra & her future pouse
SWE
Carl XVI Gustaf & Silvia
Victoria & Daniel
Estelle & her future spouse
Etc.
In Norway the brother of the future Queen (Sverre Magnus) is already no HRH anymore. In Spain the sisters of the new King are visibly sidelined. In the Netherlands the nephews and nieces of the King all have no royal title anymore (they are count/countess). Etc. This evolution is visible in all Houses.

The Royal Houses always give more prominence to the Kings and to the Princes Heirs. I believe that for example the Princess Isabella of Denmark or the Infanta Sofia of Spain or the sisters of Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands will stand out and should be present in important moments of their countries like state banquets and other events. But the heirs will always have more prominence and responsibilities.
