I am reading online infos bout the regulation of tourist photography inside Copenhagen palace or castle. I am a bit confused, can someone please clarify?

My understanding, it is OK to take pictures for non commercial and non publication and non-wedding,  but flash, tripod, stick, etc. are not allowed. Is that right?

Hehe, that was not really easy to understand. 

But the above is correct if  "photographing takes place from public roadways or areas."  (I have no idea what "areas" means exactly in this context.) I think it's strange if they prohibit photos on a guided tour inside the do it everywhere in Sweden. You better check when are there.

That seems to be correct and is a fairly standard set of guidelines for such places. The Palace website also mention that some art-works should not be photographed as the artist is either still alive or else the required time-line after death has not been reached so the works are still protected by copyright law.

As far as the use of tripods and monopods being forbidden? Having asked in similar types of places myself I was told the reason is down to health and safety regulations; such items posing a blockage-of-access / egress risk.

Pretty much the same rules as National Trust applies at most of its properties.
