His expression raises questions. A new chapter in Denmark’s history began yesterday: after 52 years, Queen Margrethe (83) abdicated and her son took over her office. In the future, King Frederik X (55) will be Danish regent. The change of office was rather unspectacular, but emotions ran rampant, especially with Frederik. However, they searched in vain for his brother Prince Joachim (54)…
When Frederik entered the balcony of Christiansborg Palace, his brother had to watch the whole thing from the background. It was noticeable that Joachim had a clearly tense expression on his face, as a video on the Danish royals’ Instagram account shows. After Margrethe stripped his children of their titles, he and his family are said to have a rather strained relationship with each other. Nevertheless, the 54-year-old didn’t miss the opportunity to support his brother on his big day.
Joachim attended the proclamation without his family. But everyday life starts again quickly for him too. He is already returning to Washington DC to be with his wife Princess Marie and their shared offspring.
