Danish Royals: Joachim's Family Returning Home After Exile
20 Feb
Summary
- Princess Marie confirms family's return to Denmark in 2027.
- The family is relocating after Prince Joachim's US contract ends.
- Marie acknowledges title change handling was not perfect.
Princess Marie has confirmed her family's imminent return to Denmark in 2027, marking a significant step towards reconciliation within the Danish royal household. The family, including Prince Joachim and their two children, will relocate from the US once Prince Joachim's contract as defense industry attaché concludes. This move follows years of distance after Queen Margrethe's 2022 decision to revoke the royal titles of Joachim's children.
While Princess Marie expressed that the family has moved past the upheaval caused by the title changes, she acknowledged that the process was "far from perfect." The impending return, however, is anticipated to bolster the working royal family, providing essential support to King Frederik and Queen Mary. This will be particularly beneficial as the current generation of working royals is limited.
Prince Joachim and Princess Marie's children, Count Henrik and Countess Athena, will finish their schooling in the US before the move. Henrik will be 18 and completing high school, while Athena will begin her studies in Denmark upon their return. This planned homecoming suggests a new chapter for the Danish monarchy, provided past tensions have been fully resolved.
