Denmark's Queen Margrethe II, has announced she is stripping four of her grandkids of the title Prince or Princess.
as the monarchy there demonstrates (once again, for those paying attention) that it is possible to keep a monarchy and do it in a better way than the UK.
I mean, by slowly abolishing itself, sure, I guess?

Wait, it's not that drastic. They are all kids of the youngest child. The son and heir, Crown Prince Frederik, and his four children, Christian (born 15 October 2005), Isabella (born 21 April 2007) and twins Vincent and Josephine (born 8 January 2011), are unaffected by the change.
It contrasts with here, when even when one prince is a philanderer and paedophile and another says he doesn't want to do the duties anymore, goes to his wife's country "in search of privacy" and yet we hear more about him and his missus than ever before, *they* don't get stripped of their titles. Possibly Chuck will revisit this, I mean, why shouldn't they be Mr Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Mr Harry Mountbatten-Windsor, respectively? What's he got to lose by doing that? But I have heard no rumours to that effect.

Nobody dies of 'old age', though.
Could be a Scottish thing. My mother's death certificate said frailty and old age, iirc.

"failed the ultimate test" as defined by Dr Richard Pryor. I suppose putting common illnesses on the death certificate wasn't considered appropriate for a monarch.
