Why didn’t the Queen like Joachim?Have you ever heard of this lovely tradition that started with Queen Margrethe's grandmother, Crown Princess Margareta, born Princess Margaret of Connaught?
The Connaught Gold Bracelets: A Sentimental Royal Jewelry Tradition
The jewels passed down by Margaret of Connaught to members of the Swedish, Danish, and Greek royal families include spectacular, glittering pieces—but perhaps the most important of them all are the slim gold bracelets wornwww.thecourtjeweller.com

She and her sister Patricia wore gold bangles and the tradition was passed on to Margaret's only daughter Ingrid, later Queen of Denmark. She gave similar bracelets to all her three daughters who have continued the tradition with their own daughters. They always wear one on their left wrist. Benedikte's daughters have one and so do Anne Marie's daughters.

Since Margrethe has no daughters, she has continued the tradition with her granddaughters.

All except one, it seems... Isabella has one, so does Josephine. But Athena has never been seen wearing one. Even in the pics where Josephine and Athena are small girls and playing together during an event, Josie has a bracelet but Athena doesn't. It bothers me that not only did Marge remove the princess title from her granddaughter Athena, the daughter of the son she dislikes, Prince Joachim, but Athena seems to have never received a bracelet of her own. Like she wasn't Marge's granddaughter and the descendant of Daisy of Sweden. The girls actually receive two bracelets, one in children's size at age 5 and later one in adult size. Of course it is possible she received one and has never worn it but that would seem strange.

If I was Joachim, I'd buy my daughter one if my mother had conveniently forgotten to do so. Surely Marge cannot be that petty, can she?
I do love the tradition of bracelets and would love to know whether the tradition started with Prince Arthur's children of if it's an older one.

I don’t think the Queen dislikes Joachim. Do we actually know his daughter doesn’t have one? If she hasn’t given one to Athena I think there is a valid reason.Why didn’t the Queen like Joachim?
I absolutely agree with the Queen’s decision regarding Joachim’s children royal titles. She did it not out of spite but to allow them to have as normal of a life as possible. I think the only ones really upset about it were Joachim and Marie. In my opinion she is thinking about their futures and professional lives.
Are we not allowed to post what is happening with UK royal family members in this thread if they don't have a thread of their own? Is the UK not considered being in Europe anymore?
Could someone please spell out in clear and concise language exactly which royals are off limits in this thread?
I am so confused.
Question 1 - If non-uk, is the QueenCamilla post allowed because it is linked to the King Constantine service?
Question 2 - where do we put the posts about Lady Gabriella? Is there a British Royal Family thread?
Thank you.
This thread is for mainland Europe Royals, not the BRF.Why can‘t the death of Lady Gabriella‘s husband be posted here?
There are already too many UK-related royal threads IMHO.
