It is believed that the Rote Armme Fraktion (Red Army Faction) – a far-left militant organisation – is associated with the threat. Since its development in 1970, the organisation has been involved in bombings, assassinations and kidnappings.
The Danish royals were undoubtedly left feeling horrified after hearing the news and they have since made preparations and undergone training for how they would handle the event of a kidnapping.
These sorts of preparations aren’t unusual for members of a royal family. In fact, it is believed that Duchess Meghan undertook staged kidnapping training with elite army forces before her wedding to Prince Harry.
