On September 29, Queen Margrethe of Denmark stripped four grandchildren of their royal titles.
Her youngest son, Prince Joachim, admitted to having a "complicated" relationship with his brother.
The Queen has since apologized for her decision, but views it as "necessary future-proofing of the monarchy."
