It the article accurate that Princess Dagmar renounced her title upon her marriage to a Danish commoner? If so, was this voluntary or enforced?
The New York Times reports for the wedding - "At her own request, the bride will be styled as Mrs. Castenkjold, retaining the title of Princess only in the event of widowhood or a divorce.
