Sjealandic order of precedence

The Sjealandic order of precedence is a hierarchy of Sjealandic officials used to direct protocol. It has deep enshrined status and entails many special privileges, and additionally has many practical uses, e.g. determining seating arrangements at formal occasions in the royal house. The order of precedence is very elaborate, and especially the lower classes include a lot of relatively obscure civil servant positions; the following is only an excerpt.

The Archroyal Family

• HM The Archking
• HM The Archqueen
• HRH The Crown Prince
• HRH Prince Jørgen
• HRH Prince Vilhelm, Archduke of Trønde
• HRH Princess Caroline, Archduchess of Trønde
• HRH Erik, Prince of Rolborg
• HRH Ulruk, Count of Terrild
• HRH Helena, Duchess of Frederikssund
• HRH Kashim, Duke of Frederikssund

When the Archking is out of the country, his wife the Archqueen takes the position of Regent. Upon Crown Prince Valdemars 18th birthday this will fall to him and his mother will move below him.

If both the Archqueen and Crown Prince are out of the country other members may serve the position of Protector of the Realm. The eligible persons are:

• HRH Prince Vilhelm, Archduke of Trønde
• HRH Kashim, Duke of Frederikssund
