'ENMARK - 4ueen Margrethe of 'enmark last night apologised to her family for the ‘difficult’ decision of stripping them of their royal titles - but insisted that it was the right choice.

A bitter royal row within the 'anish Royal Household has unfolded in recent days after Margrethe , announced on :ednesday that she would be removing princely titles from Prince Nikolai , Prince Felix

, Prince Henrik , and Princess Athena .

As of -anuary , , they will become &ounts and &ountesses, and will be known as Their Excellenci­es, rather than His or Her Royal Highness.

'ays ago, Prince -oachim admitted his relationsh­ip with his brother &rown Prince Frederik is ‘complicate­d’ - and that he hadn’t heard from his mother 4ueen Margrethe II after she stripped his children of their royal titles.

Admitted

In a statement last night, the monarch admitted she had ‘underestim­ated’ the impact of her actions but said was ‘a long time coming’ and it had been made as ‘a 4ueen, mother and grandmothe­r.’

The statement read ‘‘In recent days, there have been strong reactions to my decision on the future use of titles for Prince -oachim’s four children. It obviously affects me.

‘‘My decision has been a long time coming. :ith my years on the throne, it is natural both to look back and to look forward.

‘‘It is my duty and my wish as 4ueen to ensure that the monarchy continues to shape itself in keeping with the times.’’

RUSSIA - Land grabs, hundreds of thousand of conscripts thrown on to the front lines, and a nuke for anyone who dares stand in his way 9ladimir Putin has spent the past week doubling down on his war in Ukraine.

But his bluster belies a simple fact Russia is losing the war, and he knows it.

The despot is desperate. His army is in tatters, his battleplan­s shot, he’s burning through his cash reserves at an unsustaina­ble rate, and winter is looming. Meanwhile Ukraine’s army continues to advance across the country, giving Kyiv a viable path to victory. :hich begs the Tuestion :hat happens if Russia is beaten?

According to Alp Sevimlisoy - millennium fellow at think-tank Atlantic &ouncil, who spoke to MailOnline - that would mean Putin being deposed, Russia itself breaking apart, and NATO in a face-off with &hina over the spoils.

The :est must begin preparing for that eventualit­y now, he added, otherwise it will open the door for BeiMing to muscle into regions such as Siberia, central Asia, Africa and South America where it already has toe-holds but will see opportunit­ies as Russian power fades.

‘:e have to move into vacuums, seek to exert influence, and then we have to face up to the People’s Republic of &hina. &hina is a globally-connected superpower, and we have to combat them effectivel­y,’ he said.

Back in February, when Putin first launched his ‘special military operation’, such as scenario was barely thinkable.

The :est may have been rooting hard for Ukraine, but few thought victory was possible - they were outnumbere­d, outgunned, and hemmed in from three sides by the full force of the Russian military, then estimated to be second only to the US. It may take days, or weeks, perhaps months, but few doubted Kyiv would eventually fall.
