Surley the British Royals did not seek approval from the Danish monarch to marry in order to protect any claim they may have? Article intro would suggest they should not be on the list???Astrotrain 21:59, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The line of succession includes several names with the title 'Prince .... of Denmark'. However, the explanation below the list distinguishes between 'Prince to Denmark' (having a title and right to succession) and 'Prince of Denmark' (having a title but no right to succession). It seems that explanation is contradicting the information in the succession list. 11 Jan 2006
Most of the other line-of-succession articles have the year of birth next to the person's name. Should this article follow suit? Crymerci (talk) 09:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Royal Permission
I know you need the monarch's consent, but do you need consent before the wedding? Could a Danish Prince/Princess marry without the sovereing's knowledge but then get permission or must all marriage be approved of beforehand? Emperor001 (talk) 22:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Succession Rights of Princess Benedikte's descendants and of Queen Anne-Marie and her descendants
The article states that the then King laid down conditions for the succession rights of children of Princess Benedikte, and of Queen Anne-Marie and her children. The King cannot acting unilaterally alter the terms of the Succession to the Throne Act. In the case of Princess Benedikte was the consent to her marriage by the King given in the Council of State made conditional upon the residence of her children in Denmark? If so can the consent of the King given in the Council of State somehow modify the rights of dynasts under the Succession to the Throne Act? Did Queen Anne-Marie receive the consent for her marriage by the King given in the Council of State conditional on renouncing her rights of succession for herself and her children, or did she marry without consent or did she renounce her succession rights separately? I agree that the issue is probably irrelevant now but at the relevant times it was not. There is a remote possibility that it could become relevant for the future if dynasts were raised outside Denmark. I have tried to research these questions but have not been successful.Harlay (talk) 20:34, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- According to Peter Kurrild-Klitgaard Professor of Political Theory and Comparative Politics at the Department of Political Science, University of Copenhagen, the consent given by the King in the Council of State to the marriage of Princess Benedikte was subject to a number of conditions concerning the residence of Princess Benedikte, the residence and naturalisation of Prince Richard of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, and the residence, schooling and naturalisation of their children. He says that the issue was raised in 1997 when Princesses Alexandra and Nathalie of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg applied for naturalization as Danish subjects. The Ministry of Justice concluded that the consent given to the marriage had been conditional, but that this was a legal procedure. Professor Kurrild-Klitgaard says "it is nonetheless obvious that conditional consent is not unproblematic, as indeed has been acknowledged by prominent Danish constitutional scholars". He concludes that there are "serious questions as to the constitutionality of the deprivation of the succession rights of the children of Princess Benedikte". http://www.geocities.com/dagtho/dk-suc-law.html Harlay (talk) 15:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
