I don't think you can call their house an upper middle class home by any Danish standard.
But you are certainly right in regards to location. As a thumb-rule you can get 3-5 times as much house in the area of Southern Jutland where Schackenborg is located, for the same amount a house north of Copenhagen costs.
An upper middle class house in or near a city in DK would cost some 5-8 million DKK. Joachim paid more than 30 million DKK.
Wow!! I am unused to European size homes (or Northeastern U.S. size homes) these days!
Yes, just look at where Prince Joachim and Princess Marie lives now
It's a beautiful house, but it dont look like a manor, palace or castle, just a mansion.
Anyway, I asked it because somewhere was stated that Charles would like to move to windsor castle when he became king, but the British were outraged, because Buckingan is the official home of the head of state.
I particularly found it desnecessary, and would like to know if something similar happen to danish royal family, if Amelienborg hold similar status. Because in Denmark there are tons other really beautiful castles and palaces.
t's really good to know the danishs are more respectful and empathetic to their royal family, but if they want, could they have apartaments in Christiansborg, for example?
It is a 6,500 square foot house. Large no matter where you live.
However, should the DRF for whatever reason relocate to another palace in Copenhagen there are a few alternatives. Frederiksberg Slot is the first that springs to mind. Or perhaps other buildings could be converted to a residence?
But I think I'll leave it to those members who live in or near Copenhagen to answer the question of alternative residences.
What about Berntorff Slot, Charlottenlund Slot. I guess if lets say Frederik and Mary would not want to live at Amalienborg they could use one them.
I simply don't know the various palaces in and around Copenhagen well enough, but while waiting for the Copenhagener members to wake up...
Here are two photos of Bernstorff Slot:

Such wonderful photos
are these own by the DRF or the government?
Thanks for the photos Muhler. The scenery surrounding Frederiksborg is beautiful, though I'm not a fan of the palace itself. Does Countess Alexandra still have an apartment at the palace?
Sorgenfri and Charlottenlund are my next favourites.
