The Constitutional Act of Denmark, § 11 says "Members of the Royal House may be granted annuities by statute. Such annuities shall not be enjoyed outside the Realm except with the consent of the Folketing."
It was on the news that "Princess Alexandra is to receive her own budget for life from the Danish government following her divorce from Prince Joachim." I just wonder what the word, Realm means here. Note that it is capitalized which to my knowledge mean Denmark. Does that mean that Princess Alexandra cannot use "her" money out of Denmark and Greeland perhaps? Does it mean that she has to live the rest of her life in Denmark? Is Denmark still a "prison?" Poor girl!
