All monarchies will come under massive scrutiny once the old monarchs have gone and Denmark will be no exception.
All of them lead a lavish lifestyle (some of them more open than others and the Danish monarchy belongs to the first group, what only is an additonal achilles heel) with an impact that the young generation will question more and more the often assumed mismatch between cost and benefit.
While some countries whose monarchies are rather young, like Spain, will question the institution alltogether very soon (the next heir generation might still get away but probably not the one after the next), other countries with old and historic monarchies, like Britain or Denmark, might not still not question the institution alltogether but the lifestyle and work ethic of its representatives will become crucial as much as attitude and vision. My bet is that all of them will be cut to the possible minimum in terms of power (if there is any left at all) and money.
The process has already started and although there might not be any abolishments within TRF posters' lifetime, I think all institutions are in decline, in my personal opinion looking ahead, monarchy doesnt have a place in a modern society that will be created by the new generations to come.
I am not surpised the with change of government in Denmark the DRF becomes part of all sort of discussions, its only the beginning of what will come up after the transition from Margethe to Frederik.
