kmerov:
Even though she is not a royal of older times, i think she is an amazing woman who i would like to mentioned here, since her seperation and upcoming divorce from Queen Margrethes son, Prince Joachim.
It is the first divorce in the royal family since Frederik VII divorced his second wife, Crown Princess Mariane in 1846.  
She is very popular in Denmark, born in Hong Kong, called the orientel flower of european royalty, she made the transition from power business woman  to a princess in the oldest monarcy in the world, and a farmers wife to perfection!
The divorce is being handled very well from all parties, another example of the way other countries handle the monarchy institution then the british.

I haven't really been following this story but did read they were getting a divorce. It seems so sad. Were there any specific reasons why?

kmerov:
The royal family hasnt said why they are getting divorced, but in the press one of the reasons is Prince Joachim and his drinking and clubbing, which he has been doing a lot of...
People believe its Alexandra who mostly wants out of the marriage, and the sympathy goes to her.

Janet_W.:
I just read about this last night--in a newspaper, I believe. From what I recall, they had been married about 10 years and have a couple of children . . . or am I thinking of another divorcing royal couple?

Y'know, ever since the debacle of Prince Charles and Princess Diana's marriage, I've sorta lost track of the current European royals milieu. For awhile it was rather nice to think that two people in a royal setting could meet, marry, and live happily ever after  ::) . . . but eventually I became jaded about the whole process. So much for youthful idealism!  :'(

kmerov:
It sounds like them. They got married in 1995 and have two sons, Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix..
Yes, things have changed, although royals also got divorced in the past.
I think Denmark had three royal divorces in the 19 century.
