The Royal House of Denmark has experienced a new shock because, in recent hours, information has been leaked that has caused an institutional earthquake. Prince Christian, heir to the throne, has made an unexpected decision. His absence has forced Queen Margrethe to resume her duties as regent of the country.
January 14, 2024, was a historic date; on that day, Queen Margrethe officially announced her abdication. The monarch had announced it weeks earlier, and her resignation meant her son Frederik's rise to the throne. However, his proclamation hasn't been free from controversy.
The new king's family situation has been called into question, and in the previous months, a major crisis with his wife, Mary Donaldson, created a tense atmosphere. The press and the public have scrutinized every step. Since then, many of the royal couple's decisions have caused discontent.
The royal house of Denmark didn't expect the decision Prince Christian has made
In recent days, King Frederik has once again been at the center of criticism. He has taken a few days off and has appeared at Wimbledon without his wife. Mary's absence has reignited rumors of a crisis, and meanwhile, Denmark has been left without a regent.
Initially, Prince Christian was supposed to take on that role, and he did so from July 6 to July 13. However, according to the outlet Billed Bladet, the young man has interrupted his schedule. He has decided to go on vacation, and the news has surprised everyone.
Spontaneously, without an official announcement, Christian has abandoned his duties. As a result, Queen Margrethe has had to take on the position again. An unprecedented event that has sparked countless reactions, and the agency Dana Press has confirmed the information.
The royal house of Denmark hasn't provided explanations for Prince Christian's latest move
The Danish press have harshly criticized what happened, and international media have also echoed it. The German weekly Bunte has described the situation as "chaos in the calendar." The Danish public have expressed their discontent.
The royal family haven't offered explanations. Since these are personal matters, they're not required to do so, but the outrage has grown. No one knows the prince's exact whereabouts or his parents' plans.
Even so, Queen Margrethe has taken on her role with determination. After more than a year away from the throne, she has returned with calm. Her experience and commitment remain a pillar for the Danish Crown.
