It will be tough on Marie, won’t it, not to have patronages and royal duties to perform any more? With the kids at school, and she isn’t really the “ladies who lunch” type. I’d be keeping an eye on her mental well-being if I were her family and friends. I hope she develops her own career - and is being given a working visa.

Marie has a BA from Marymount Manhattan college and had worked in US. I think she might be the one who wanted to move to US since for she didn't seem to like to live in Paris for whatever reasons.

Oh! Where were the reports that she didn’t like living in Paris - other than because Daisy and Mary don’t seem to want her in Denmark?

I don’t think Marie will have much trouble living in the US.

When she said that it was not their choice to move to Paris. If she loved living in France she wouldn’t have complained.

That doesn't make sense. You can love living a Parisian life and still be upset about why your family was pushed there. There was a lovely video of Marie and the children at the markets in Paris all helping to buy groceries. She has also said she is glad that her children are now comfortable speaking French when before they really didn't engage with speaking the language and mostly used Danish.

I don’t see that connection at all.

I am certain she likes being in France, but that is hardly the same as her not preferring to live somewhere else, especially if it was not their choice.

I hope this move brings peace and some calm to their lives.  I agree that America is a great place for her children to start forging their new identities and I hope she finds her niche too!  I'd love to see her bring her food-waste awareness to the forefront, as was mentioned upthread.  I remember the heat Jamie Oliver took about his attempts to make America's children healthier, but I don't see this going in that direction.  For one, I watched JO's shows and he was rude to the kids and their families.  It all smacked of him doing a poverty-safari rather than being genuinely concerned.  Especially since he was a little portly himself at the time.

Because many Americans are really struggling financially right now, her message could come at just the right time especially since she is not a flashy or extravagant person who would seem too out of touch.

Joachim could renew his position in France if his family liked to stay in Paris. There were talks of him even willing to take a private job in US which means he would have to give up his appanage. I'm glad at the end everything is working out for them to move to US.  He might get paid more in a private company, but there is always a risk. His appanage would certainly guaranteed comfortable upper middle-class lifestyle in DC. Likely Marie would be given the same job as what she has now in France.
