You might not think there’s an obvious connection between Denmark and Prince Harry’s recent explosive revelations – Netflix must be upset that he saved them all for his book – but you’d be wrong.
The British media is hailing Queen Margrethe II as pioneering the way she stripped the HRH titles of all four children of her son Prince Joachim, hoping that the new monarch Charles III will more or less do the same to his own son, Prince Harry.
The American media also draw parallels. “Think of Joachim as Prince Harry, Prince Frederik as Prince William and Queen Margarethe as King Charles, and everything feels like deja vu,” said US magazine People.
Margrethe’s decision a warning, claim British media
Margrethe’s decision is a major talking point this week in Britain. A headline in the Daily Express on Wednesday read: “Danish queen’s removal of title serves as warning to Harry amid recall fears.”
King Charles reportedly waited until after the release of Harry’s documentary series and memoir ‘Spare’ – which was due for release on January 10 but was released in Spain under the title ‘En La Sombra’ (In the Shadows) after a cock-up that no one can explain – making a decision on whether to award HRH titles to Harry’s children, Archie and Lillibet.
Previously, they were not granted on the grounds that they were great-grandchildren, not grandchildren, of the sitting monarch.
Charles follows the Danish development “with interest”
Charlotte Griffiths, a royal expert who works for the Mail on Sunday, agrees that there is “a lot riding on” Harry’s book. “Charles is reportedly waiting until the book comes out before deciding whether to give Archie and Lilibet a title,” she told Palace Confidential.
A royal expert in Denmark, BT correspondent Jacob Heinel Jensen, compared the publication of Harry’s book to Prince Joachim’s appearance on television shortly after his mother’s decision was confirmed.
“When Prince Joachim went rogue on TV and said how sorry he was, how his children are suffering: the parallels between him and Harry are there for all to see,” he told British newspaper The Daily Mail. “King Charles would have followed with great interest what is happening in Denmark.”
Up to the neck in revelations
The revelations of the Netflix show ‘Harry & Meghan’ were tame compared to those in Harry’s book, which British tabloids have been frantically translating into Spanish over the past 24 hours.
Among the many revelations, Harry reveals that his brother Prince William physically attacked him in his own home, that William and his wife Catherine find Nazi costumes funny, that he and William begged Charles not to marry Camilla, that he first tried cocaine in an age of 17 years. , and that he lost his virginity to an older woman who “really liked horses” in a field near a busy pub.
Meanwhile, former British army personnel have questioned whether Harry was wise to reveal that he killed 25 members of the Taliban while on duty in Afghanistan, as it could further jeopardize his future security.
