Denmark’s Queen Marguerite Steps Down, Speculation Surrounds Prince William’s Future

Denmark's Queen Marguerite made a surprising announcement on December 31st, revealing her decision to step down as the country's monarch.

She will be handing over the reins to her son, Crown Prince Frederick.

This news has sparked speculation about the future of the British monarchy, with many wondering if King Charles could soon follow suit.

Prince Harry and Meghan are reportedly concerned that Prince William's ascension to the throne could hinder their plans.

In a recent development, sources have reported that Prince George, the younger brother of the future king, has sent a warning message to Harry regarding his future.

The situation is unfolding against the backdrop of a significant day in Danish royal history.

Sunday marks the day when Crown Prince Frederick will ascend to the throne, following Queen Marguerite's abdication after a remarkable 52-year reign.

However, not all members of the royal family will be present for this momentous event.

Prince Joachim, the younger brother of the incoming king, will support his sibling but will do so without his wife, Princess Marie, or their children.

The royal palace's press office released a statement explaining that Marie will remain in Washington, where the couple currently resides, while Prince Joachim fulfills his duties as an attaché to the Ministry of Defence.

The spokesperson also clarified that Joachim's children will not attend due to their school commitments, emphasizing that there is no special reason for their absence.

Joachim is expected to leave the country the following day.

Tensions within the family have been apparent since Queen Marguerite's decision to strip Joachim's children of their HRH titles in late 2022.

Instead, they were bestowed with the titles of Count and Countess of Miza, a change that took effect at the beginning of last year.

Joachim expressed his strong disapproval of his mother's decision, reflecting a similar sentiment to what Harry experienced when he and Meghan relocated to the United States and faced restrictions on their royal privileges.

Speculation about Prince Joachim's alleged infatuation with his brother's wife, Princess Mary, has also circulated as a possible reason for his family's move to the US.

Similarly, Harry had expressed admiration for Catherine, his brother's wife, and a desire to find a partner like her someday.

If William were to ascend the throne, it remains uncertain whether Harry would be invited to his coronation.

However, if he were, Harry would likely return to England alone, as Meghan and their children may choose not to attend due to Meghan's reported unease about seeing Kate wearing a crown.

In light of Queen Marguerite's abdication, there have been calls for Prince Charles to consider passing the crown directly to Prince William.

Royal author Phil Dampier speculated that Charles might contemplate such a move in the next 5 to 10 years if his health deteriorates or if he believes it is the right time to hand over the monarchy to William and Kate while they are still relatively young.

Furthermore, rumors have surfaced suggesting that Prince Harry could be planning a return to the UK next month.

This news has reportedly led Meghan Markle to reflect on her own sentiments towards Britain.

Astrology and zodiac expert Julian Venables, who has analyzed Prince Harry's chart, predicts that the Duke of Sussex may visit the UK in the first two weeks of February.

Julian suggests that Harry's potential return could prompt Meghan to reconsider her feelings about the country.

Noting that Harry embodies quintessential Englishness, Julian speculates that he may be missing his home country.
