First came the queen of denmark Margrethe home from his skiing holiday. Then came the crown prince home from their stay in Switzerland. And the page is also prince Joachim and princess Marie returned home.
Coronakrisen have the degree turned up and down on the royal family’s everyday life – they lead a completely different life than they used to.
“the World looks quite different than it did just a few weeks ago,” explained the crown prince Frederik a few days ago in a video feature on the royal family’s social media, where he, together with the crown princess and their four children had gone out into their garden to Amalienborg castle to get some air and movement.
Since the various members have come home from their respective stints abroad, they have stayed separately.
While queen Margrethe after the arrival to Denmark, drove to Fredensborg, where she has stayed since, took the crown prince and crown princess after the return from Switzerland to the royal palace Amalienborg, where they live in Frederik VIII’s palace, and where the family also resided ago.
Here are prince Christian, princess Isabella, prince Vincent and princess Josephine also taught at home – like the majority of the Danish children.
the Breakdown of the royal family has also meant that the Queen has not seen her grandchildren since coronakrisen got the tag in Denmark, and the prime minister closed the country down.
in Addition, the Queen has decided to cancel the big birthday celebration in connection with his 80 birthday in the middle of april.
Prince Joachim and princess Marie came home to Denmark the 23. march with their two children, when their son, prince Henrik, had breathing problems. The prince is suffering from asthmatic bronchitis, which he has previously been treated for at Rigshospitalet in copenhagen, why the parents felt more confident to return home.
the Prince was also tested for coronaviruses, which he had not. Ago, the family has chosen to go in quarantine at Amalienborg palace, where they have an apartment available in Christian VIII’s mansion.
While prinsparret is in Denmark, follows the children in their French school’s distance learning, like prince Joachim follows you from the École Militaire in Paris, where he has been studying since the summer.
In Sweden, the Swedish king also gone into self-imposed isolation in a castle west of Stockholm. Also has the king been separated from his oldest daughter, the heir to the throne crown princess Victoria, which is the practice in such times of crisis, it said in an article in the Swedish media “Dagens Nyheter”, which brought a great interview with the king.
The Danish royal family will not over to B. T. confirm whether a similar practice in Denmark applies.
the Royal family’s communications director, Lene Balleby, has, however, previously notified to B. T, that the Queen follows the authorities ‘ recommendations and advice:
According to historian and kongehusekspert Sebastian Olden-Jørgensen, there is nothing in the law requires that the monarch and the heir to the throne to be screened separately in an emergency situation. He estimates that the royal family hardly has a script ready with the rules for a situation like coronasmitten.
“the Situation is extraordinary, so there’s not really any precedent. But it would indeed be inconceivable, that they are downright opposed to the authorities ‘ guidelines,” he says, referring to the prime minister’s recommendation that people should try to avoid contact with too many people over 80 years old must be at home the most, and that grandparents should not have contact with their grandchildren.
According to Sebastian Olden-Jørghensen, however, it happened before, that the royal family has taken some precautions in relation to the governor and tronfølgere – among other things, when queen Margrethe and crown prince Frederik have not been raised with the same aircraft.
Also the external circumstances surrounding the royal family is affected due to the crisis. The conscript guard have in some weeks had to leave the barracks, and the band of the life guards have in some weeks had to go outside the fence, where they stood guard at Fredensborg Castle. Moreover gardernes daily trips from Rosenborg castle to Amalienborg palace for the time cancelled. All together to avoid infection.
“They must be extra vigilant to avoid infection, because they have a special task,” says Thomas Helbo Reimann, who is the press officer of The Royal Guard
Garderne will, however – as usual – dressed in their festive red uniform of the Queen’s birthday on 16. april. Gardernes regular uniform is blue.
