Denmark Prince, Princess Allowances: Danish Royal Family Heirs May Lose Salary, Government Warns
For many children, an allowance means a few dollars a week for candy, toys or other small treat. For the Danish royal family, however, it means much more, and it could soon disappear.
The ruling Venstre government in Denmark is discussing plans to cut off the traditional allowance to some members of the royal family, local news outlet Politiken reported over the weekend. In a rare public statement, the royal Danish family said Tuesday that only Prince Christian, Crown Prince Frederik’s son, should receive an allowance.
