Without the legally required permission of the Danish king for a dynastic marriage, Prince Viggo renounced his place in Denmark's line of succession to the Crown, his title of Prince of Denmark, and his style of Royal Highness as was customary in the Danish royal house upon marriage to a commoner. Before the wedding Viggo, with the king's authorisation, assumed the title of His Highness Prince Viggo, Count of Rosenborg.
In connection with the marriage and her husband's new title, Eleanor Margaret Green became Her Highness Princess Viggo, Countess of Rosenborg.{{citation needed|date=February 2020}}
