Forgive me but I know very little about the significance of royal titles. Does an income come with them? Political power or a position in Parliament? If not, why are people so concerned about retaining a title after a divorce. Alexandra became a countess. Diana was still princess of Wales but not her royal highness. I remember people were very concerned that they kept a title.
In DK there is no power, no priviledges, no income, no political seat from being made a count/countess. - Just the title.
Alexandra was not entitled to a title after the divorce. It was QMII who decided to give her a title as a curtesy but also (and much more importantly) because she would raise two princes most of the time. Back then they were number 3 and 4 in line for the throne as it wasn't known whether M&F would have children, so it's natural that the mother of a potential future king should have a title.
Alexandra was also granted an apanage, which is really state-child-alimony ensuring that the princes would have a living standard suitable of their status.
The title is personal, meaning that any children she should have with or adopt together with Martin Jørgensen will not inherit it.
Nikolai and Felix are already Counts of Montpezat through their grandfather and father.
