Prince Joachim of Denmark and his wife, Princess Marie, will be moving to the United States in 2023. The decision comes after Queen Margrethe announced that the pair's children will lose their royal titles beginning January 1, 2023.
The queen's decision has drawn outrage from Joachim, Marie, and Joachim's first wife, Alexandra.
Hello! magazine writes, "In a matter of weeks, the Danish monarchy will undergo a big change. At the behest of Queen Margrethe, Prince Joachim’s four children will lose their royal titles from 1 January 2023. They will instead be styled as His or Her Excellency Count / Countess of Monpezat.
"The decision, when it was announced, caused great controversy amongst the royal family, with Joachim, his wife Princess Marie, and his ex-wife Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg, all speaking publicly of their upset."
The outlet adds, "The royal couple have decided to relocate to America following the news that Joachim has landed a new job in the defence industry in Washington, Danish newspaper BT reports. Currently, Joachim and Marie are based in Paris for his work. That job is expected to come to an end in June time, meaning the family are likely to relocate across the Atlantic in the second half of the year."
