But what I fail to understand is why they use "regentparret" in Danish, which gives the impression that Queen Margrethe is a mere regent or temporary placeholder for an actual monarch, which diminishes her position. Her parents were referred to as "kongeparret" (i.e. "the king couple"), as are the current Swedish and Norwegian kings and queens, so I just cannot see why Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik cannot be called "dronningeparret" (the queen couple). The Swedes have taken this into consideration and refer to Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel as "kronprinsessparet" (the crown princess couple).Trond Norén Isaksenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744875538993319059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897554020551470090.post-33839394221622049582016-04-21T18:34:57.726+02:002016-04-21T18:34:57.726+02:00I know nothing of the Danish language but wouldn&#...I know nothing of the Danish language but wouldn't a better (if not literal) translation of 'Regentparret' be the 'Reigning Couple'?Andy Axon, Manchesternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897554020551470090.post-91628846718335893662016-04-15T21:26:41.012+02:002016-04-15T21:26:41.012+02:00Thank you for adding that.
