The reasons? Some did it for love, some did it due to a scandal, and some craved a normal life.
Princess Madeleine of Sweden and Christopher O'Neill with their children.Last year King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden stripped all of his grandchildren of their royal titles. The reasoning? To clarify which members of his family are expected to perform official duties.
“This change has been planned for a long time. Chris and I think it’s good that our children are now getting a greater opportunity to shape their own lives as private individuals in the future.”The daughter of Norway’s King Harald V relinquished her status of Her Royal Highness in 2002, as she wanted a more private and professional life. That proved to be a bit tricky.
A common reason for abdication? Age. While the British royals commit to the responsibility of ruling until they die, monarchs around the world have passed down their power to the next generation. Take Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, who after 33 years on the throne let her son Willem-Alexander take over in 2013. Emperor Akihito of Japan abdicated last spring due to declining health; he is now Emperor Emeritus of Japan.
