Princess Mary pulled into royal family row

Crown Princess Mary has been dragged into an escalating row after Denmark’s Queen Margrethe stripped some of her grandchildren of their royal titles.

Margrethe, 82, announced that Prince Joachim’s children Prince Nikolai, 23, Prince Felix, 20, Prince Henrik, 13, and Princess Athena, 10, would be stripped of their royal titles.

Her slimming down of the Danish monarchy would instead make them Counts and Countesses.

Princess Mary’s children with Crown Prince Frederik will keep their titles, as Frederik is next in line to the throne.

Joachim and his second wife Marie have come forward to say their relationship with Frederik and Mary is “complicated”.

Mary defended Margrethe’s decision to strip her grandkids of their royal titles, stating she can “understand that it is a very difficult decision to have to make, and also a very difficult decision to receive.”

The family are only said to have been told of the decision five days before it was made public, and Margrethe has reportedly not spoken to them since the bombshell move.
