Princes And Princesses Demoted To Count And Countess
This update comes in the wake of claims Joachim made that he hadn’t spoken to his mother, brother, or sister-in-law Crown Princess Mary since the announcement was made that his kids would lose their royal titles and the beginning of 2023.

The major shakeup was announced in a simple statement the palace released on September 28. In an October 1 interview with B.T.
