Royales adventure in danger: Danish royal family canceled Greenland trip!
Grönland, Dänemark - A planned, spectacular reunion in the far north is now put on ice! King Frederik X. von Denmark, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Crown Prince Haakon of Norway wanted to take a trip to Greenland in the spring, which is a continuation of her adventure from 2009. However, the political uncertainty about the future of Greenland, in particular the threats of US President Donald Trump, who intends to incorporate Greenland in the United States, have prevented the royal expedition abruptly. This was reported by the Swedish sheet "expressed", as the Danish side Gronland.org confirmed.

In view of the tense geopolitical situation, the Scandinavian Royals, who have been strong for environmental protection and sustainable development in the Arctic, see themselves forced to set up their planned steps. "For several years, there has been a wish to repeat the path, which was made together with Denmark and Norway, in terms of sustainability and environmental protection. But due to the current situation, this is not currently possible," said Margareta Thorgren, spokeswoman for the Swedish royal family. Whether and when the trip to Greenland can be made up remains uncertain, but it remains clear: the Arctic is a heart topic for the royals!The focus of the royal efforts is not only the cancellation - King Frederik and Queen Mary recently completed their first official visit to Greenland. On June 29, they traveled together with their twins, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, and explored the country for eight days. During their visit, which included more than 40 program items, they inaugurated a walmicrophone in an arctic station in Qeqertarsuaq. This is intended to help scientists better understand the presence of marine mammals. After the change of throne, the visit was the first official commitment of the Danish Royals in Greenland, which clearly shows that despite geopolitical challenges, the interest in the Arctic and their topics remains unbroken, as also Adelswelt.de reported.
