Will Danish abdication prompt King Charles to step down early?
The abdication of Danish Queen Margrethe II has led to speculation about whether Britain's King Charles III might follow suit. Margrethe's decision to step down after 52 years has been praised as a sensible move for a constitutional monarchy. Charles, who became king in 2022 at the age of 73, faces questions about the length of his reign and his ability to handle royal scandals, including those involving Prince Andrew and Prince Harry. While some believe Charles might consider abdication in the future, others argue he will likely reign until his death. Public opinion on the monarchy is divided, with some polls showing declining support.

Expert calls Danish royal family clash unprecedented
Denmark's Prince Joachim expressed sadness over Queen Margrethe II's decision to strip his children of their royal titles, which was unexpected and publicly criticized by him. Historian Lars Hovbakke Sørensen noted the uniqueness of the situation, as the Danish royal family typically keeps disputes private. The titles' removal is symbolic, aiming to maintain public support by reducing taxpayer-funded costs. Queen Margrethe admitted to underestimating the decision's impact. The conflict could harm the royal family's reputation, especially amidst global issues like the energy crisis and war in Ukraine.
