Queen Margrethe stated 2 yr. ago she would no, abdicate, but the unexpected happened to her health/life and she made the decision, I'm sure, after a lot of soul searching and careful thought.
The idea of abdicating to "save the Heir's marriage is, as the media has put out, is so stupid. That would be the last thing a Monarch would choose to do unless he/she absolutely had to. A new Monarch having issues with his/her marriage/spouse, is going to be consumed with situation and not matters of Govt./acting as a Head of State.
Sorry to bring up the old chestnut, but can you imagine QEII abdicating to save Charles and Diana marriage? That would have been a total nightmare. I'll leave it at that. Just an example.
