The Rosenborgs

Mini series about the change to female succession in Denmark
back when Marge was 18. I am all for that, but it must have been
devastating for the other part of the family.

19-year-old Ludvig could have become King of Denmark: Now he
talks about 'the lost kingdom'
From the outside, he lives a normal teenage life. He has earring
in his ear, runs around in big T-shirts and fits his ballet
training, where the dream one day is to stand on stage in the
Royal Theatre.
But historically, 19-year-old Ludwig of Rosenborg is not quite
common. He is the great-great-grandson of Christian X and could
actually have been prince or crown prince today if the Law of
The Throne had not been changed. In a new documentary, he comes
into the fate of his family.
"Actually, I could be prince. Because as you may see, Prince
Knud is my great-grandfather,' says the young ballet dancer in
the DR documentary 'Why isn't Ludwig king?'.
Ludwig of Rosenborg is the eldest son of countess Camilla of
Rosenborg, who is the middle daughter of the now deceased Count
Christian of Rosenborg.
Da Christian af Rosenborgs storebror grev Ingolf aldrig har fået
børn, kunne det have været et af Christian af Rosenborgs børn,
der i dag ville være tronfølger, hvis grev Ingolf var konge.
Ludwig af Rosenborg er den ældste mandlige slægtning efter
Christian af Rosenborg.
Teknisk set kunne tronen også have tilfaldet hans fætter Julius
af Rosenborg, der er søn af Camilla af Rosenborgs
tvillingesøster, Josephine af Rosenborg.
Men i DR-dokumentaren er det altså Ludwig af Rosenborg, som der
er fokus på.
"This story is a story of destiny. A story about a family that
was torn apart. Some were allowed to retain their privileges.
The people who lost their kingdom were my family," Ludwig says
in the documentary.
In fact, the story of Prince Knud and Count Ingolf has always
been described as quite undramatic. The family has never
publicly revolted the lost kingdom, and in the media they have
often told them that they are not talking about it in the
family.
Recently, however, Count Ingolf said in an interview with
B.T.that it was still something that affected both his father,
heirloom Prince Knud, and himself a lot.
And that impression is also given in the documentary with Ludwig
of Rosenborg, where his mother also participates.
She tells, among other things, how in her childhood she visited
her grandparents at Sorgenfri Castle, and in her detached house
in Birkerød, where Ludvig continues to live, witnesses the red
antique velvet chairs, the carved chests of the comings and the
many painted portraits about the royal Past.
When asked if she thinks prince Knud was ok with 'what happened
in 1953', she replies:
"I definitely believe that he has been disappointed with it and
disappointed on behalf of his sons perhaps. Mostly on Ingolf's
behalf. That his family should be driven out on a siding."
According to Camilla of Rosenborg, neither her grandfather nor
grandma showed bitterness about it.
"But it's good that we can take care of ourselves. As long as we
are happy and healthy,' she adds afterwards, giving the feeling
that the series is still ripping up a little wound.
That feeling goes again when Louis tells Rosenborg that he is
looking forward to one day becoming such a good ballet dancer
that he can stand and bow up to the royal log:
"A place where In another world I could have sat in another
world," he notes.
In the documentary, Louis of Rosenborg, with the help of
historian Mie Ellekilde, is also trying to find out what really
preceded the change in the succession.
According to the historian, Prince Knud has only once expressed
a critical opinion on the change in the law of the throne.
There he told me that 'a trick has been committed against him'.
In the series, they try to get to what that trick is all about.
Among other things, knud Eriksen, the son of then Prime Minister
Erik Eriksen, who was behind the change in the law of the
throne.
Knud Eriksen has found a document in his late father's
confidential archives showing that Prince Knud objected to the
change in the law.
"On behalf of my family and my own behalf, I reserve that it is
legal what you are doing," the prince said.
According to historian Sebastian Olden-Jørgensen, it is not
surprising that the prince has formally raised objections:
"He didn't have the opportunity for that much else. He chose to
formally mark that he was against, and he did not pass the
conflict further. He bent over and didn't make any trouble," he
says.
The series 'Why isn't Ludwig king?' will be broadcast on DRTV
every Wednesday and on DR2 every Thursday. There are a total of
four paragraphs.

Interesting. Someone loses and someone gains.
I will watch out for the show.
They were bound to change and bring equality to female children.
I think the most unfair timing was the change in Sweden.

I agree about Sweden. Not fair to either CP nor Victoria. They
grew up the first part of their lives thinking differently about
their futures.
I AM happy though, that it peed off CG so much that females are
equally in the succession.

Victoria was two and a half years old when she became CP and CP
was a six month old baby.
i dare say that they never knew otherwise.
