October 02, 2022 - 13:10 BST Isabelle Casey Prince Joachim and Princess Marie of Denmark appeared tearful in a recent interview with Danish publication B.T. whilst discussing the removal of their children's royal titles.It was announced last Wednesday that Queen Margrethe II has decided that four of her grandchildren – Prince Nikolai, Prince Felix, Prince Henrik and Princess Athena – will be stylised as the Count and Countess of Monpezat from the start of 2023.
In the interview, Prince Joachim was visibly emotional whilst answering questions. The pair revealed that they haven't yet spoken to the Queen or his older brother Crown Prince Frederik and his wife Crown Princess Mary, who came out in support of the decision on Friday, and that their relationship remains to be complicated.
Addressing this in the interview, Joachim said:"The reality must still be whether you modernize or slim down, it must be done in a proper way. It's about children. Orderliness and children. It is a very heavy matter.” The royal house had previously stated that Joachim had been informed of the decision in May – but he contested that.
