Danish Royals Return Home After 3 Years Abroad
5 Feb
Summary
- Princess Marie and Prince Joachim to return to Denmark in August 2027.
- The family has been living in Washington D.C. for three years.
- Their children will finish schooling before the family's relocation.
Princess Marie of Denmark has revealed her family's upcoming return to their native country in August 2027. The royal couple, Prince Joachim and Princess Marie, have been residing in Washington D.C. for the past three years, where Prince Joachim serves as a defense industry attaché. Princess Marie expressed her eagerness to resume her work and patronages in Denmark. The family's relocation is scheduled after their son completes his high school education, with plans for their daughter to finish her schooling in Denmark.
This move follows a period of significant changes for the family, including the stripping of royal titles from Prince Joachim's four children in January 2023. His sons, Nikolai and Felix, and daughters, Henrik and Athena, are now styled as Count and Countess of Monpezat. Prince Joachim has previously described his relationship with his mother, the former Queen Margrethe, as complicated following this decision. The family has been embracing life in the United States, viewing it as a 'land of opportunity' with Nikolai focusing on a modeling career.
Queen Margrethe abdicated in January 2024, with her eldest son, King Frederik, ascending the throne. Prince Joachim's marriage to Princess Marie produced their two younger children, Count Henrik and Countess Athena. His older two children, Count Nikolai and Count Felix, are from his previous marriage.
