Why is he holding a dust mop?

Lots of old dusty stuff at the castles obviously.
Although it could also be a hat with feathers.

Any uncle issues?

Any uncle issues?

Not that I'm aware of, but his sister in law was not present. So a modern family in that regard

Even royalty are adopting the X moniker now.

I wonder how many will not get this?

Spoiler

Yankee Doodle went to town,
Riding on a pony.
He stuck a feather in his cap.
And called it macaroni.

Seems she is doing them a favor.

Her intention was to “create the framework” for the four grandchildren “to be able to shape their own lives, without being limited by the special considerations and duties that a formal affiliation with the Royal House of Denmark involves”.

Danish men...appealing even to men.

Beauties, they are.

Unlike in France the transition to democracy was peaceful, so no be headings needed.

She's Australian.

Doesn't matter, I more Dane than French.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is another beauty....

I’m not a royalist myself, but they represent the official Denmark, its culture and history and are apolitical, so in that regard it is a uniting factor for the nation.
