What was over my feed was princess Anne carrying her own bags off the plane. I mean this seems like something she would do. Getty images

I had a new Royal rumor account show up in my Tiktok feed alleging a Royal divorce is coming and the Chuck just had an emergency meeting with W & K. If someone is getting divorced I doubt it's them though

There has been some speculation about Edward and Sophie because they spent so much time apart toward the end of last year. Not to give credit to TT rumors, which I don’t, but that would be my guess.

Not to give credit to TT rumors, which I don’t, but that would be my guess. 1st thought: No way do those two split up. They are two repulsive peas in a pod who are perfectly suited for each other. 2nd thought: It’s funny that C, W&K would think they need to have an emergency mtg if they did split up. Nobody cares.

There will be no coronation for them. This was their moment.

King Frederik X? I don't know why it surprised me so much that there's been 10 of them in their history. It must be a super popular name?

Do we hate Frederik? Do we believe the cheating rumors?
I still love them so I'm confused

Mary looks absolutely stunning and this is how they should do the whole "new king/queen" thing.
I think the main difference with the Brits is the religious element, which is why they do the anointing under the canopy. The monarch is the head of the CoE, so I guess they have to make it church official? But the robes and parade and concert are all too much.
Charles waited forever to get his ceremony and wanted Camilla to get her queen moment. Unfortunately I think William is the same and wants HIS big ceremony. He'd never do low key.

So you can change over without all the over the top pomp and circumstance and in an intimate exchange while still giving a glimpse to the public, but without all the excessive spending? Hmmmm Lol, it almost seems like she should be carrying a plain brown box with all her shit in it. That’s it, she just walks out the door all by herself? Danish royals, just like us!

Whatever the reason for her abdication, I wish it would become the norm. This is so much simpler. I feel like it made more sense hundreds of years ago when people were less likely to live into their 90’s. But now it creates all this waiting and drama when they live to an old age. Not unlike, say, the US Supreme Court.

The Denmark royal family alternates between two names for kings: Christian and Frederik. Goes back that way for centuries. So Frederik X and Mary's son is Christian, and if his first kid is a boy (the future king) he'll be named Frederik. Their family tree is nuts.

Is the divorce thing just speculation or is that for sure? I still have a hard time believing anyone in the royal world are divorcing , especially "just" over cheating
Eta as in is someone for sure getting a divorce, just no names yet?

I had no idea and love that I know that now

I discovered it when I was spiraling on the Russian royal family and Queen Victoria's descendants after watching the The Great on Hulu one day. I was absolutely gobsmacked to see the lack of variety in their names, and it stuck in my memory. Second fun fact of the day: Magrethe was only like the 2nd or 3rd queen in CENTURIES. Otherwise it's been all Frederiks and Christians for eons. That family makes a lot of boys, lol.

The cheating rumors forever, his absence from the carol service, their body language in the Christmas walk photos...I believe they might already be separated. Sophie has hung on forever waiting for the Duchess of Edinburgh title. She's not going anywhere. I could see them living separate lives in their estate. Pumpkinwest

So she maneuvered him into a box to control the optics and preserve the monarchy.
