Congratulations to both!!!
This sounds like she died! Well, but I know what you mean.Sophus said:We in Denmark will never forget her!

Also, I don't think that this is a rash decision. These are 2 grown adults. Alexandra handled her divorce with Jochaim beautifully and I'm almost positive that was not a rash decision. This woman is intellegant and thinks things through before acting.

About the duties we will see.
She still will receive a grant from the state. For what if she doesn't continue her duties?
And they did not start dating after her divorce.
I read that they celebrated their 3rd anniversary in December.
No confirmation of course, but I believe it's true.
In what way does this confirm that Alexandra did not marry Joachim because of his royal worth?lashinka2002 said:Jochaim must be devestated, this just confirms that his royal worth had nothing to do with her love for him.

I thought the reason is that you believe she married Joachim because she wanted to become a princess.
Now it´s proved that she doesn´t hesitate to remarry, even she will lose her princess title and lose her allowance then.
Maybe there are other reasons which make you dislike her in the very beginning, reasons which you haven´t revealed yet on this forum?
It doesn´t disturb me at all if Alex still receives some money after remarrying to Martin. We already know that she will retain her petronage. Besides, many divorced women receive money from their ex-husbands, for doing nothing. They don´t have to work for their ex-husbands in order to receive the money. After all, don´t forget that Alex is the mother of Nikolai and Felix.
And many people celebrate their anniversary due to the date when they first met. It´s not necessary that they fell in love when they first met.
Don´t forget that Marie also got to know Joachim before Alex and Joachim divorced.
ricarda said:With this I agree.
I have the feeling that this whole divorce/new relationship/marriage issue was thought trough carefully and planned from long hand
and presented to the public in steps so people can get used to the idea.
I always had this feeling ever since Queen Margrethe made her a countess and it was said she will not loose the title if she remarries.
I am also quite sure Alexandra knows already exactly what she will do in the future
and we will get to know it gradually.
Caswallan said:Congrats to Alex and Martin. I think it is nice that she is getting remarried.
I also don't think it will be long before Joachim gets remarried.
ricarda said:Actually this special post was not meant critically.
I was answering some posters who asked whether she will continue with her work or not and how long they know each other.
The state will pay her money, so I assumed she will continue with some of her duties.
(And it's the state not her ex-husband who pays, don't mix that up.
If she is paid by the state then she has to do something for the state IMO.)
We don't know who betrayed whom first.Heike said:Are you implying that Queen Margrethe has got to know her plan of remarriage, so she gave her the countess title? I don´t think the Queen would be so general to Alex if she betrayed her son and even planned to marry another man. If the Queen gave her the title because she knew Alex will remarry someday later, this only shows that the Queen likes Alex very much. She can´t keep Alex being a princess if Alex remarries, but she can keep her remaining noble by giving her this countess title.
Besides, any reasonable people (Alex seems to be very reasonable) won´t try to predict how long a romantic relationship will last. I don´t think Alex could predict in 2004 and in 2007 Martin and she will be still together.
