Former Prince Felix of Denmark Turns 22: The Social Photo with His Brothers

L’ex prince Felix of Denmark, now Count of Monpezat, has turned 22. And although he lost the title by his grandmother’s will, theemeritus Queen Margrethe who abdicated last January in favor of her firstborn Frederikthe Danish royal house wanted to celebrate it by publishing, as per tradition, its own new social photo. In the shot shared on Instagram Felix, son of the prince Joachim – second son of Margrethe – and his first wife, the Countess Alexandra of Frederiksborgis portrayed together with his three brothers (also former princes): Nikolai, born as Felix from the union of Joachim with Alexandra; Henry And Athenafruit of marriage with Marie CavallierThe four (Felix is ​​third from the left) pose hugging and smiling at Château de Cayx, their grandmother’s French castle where the Danish royal family usually gathers in the summer.

The presence at Château de Cayx of the four nephews “declassified” to counts by Margrethe seems to tell that peace has returned to the Danish royal family. When the then queen, in January 2023, to streamline the monarchy had removed the titles of Royal Highnesses from both Felix and his brothers, a serious rift had in fact been created, so much so that Prince Joachim had expressed his disappointment in public: “It’s never fun to see your children mistreated like that. They themselves are in a situation they don’t understand.” Also Nicholas he had said loud and clear, in an interview, that his grandmother’s decision had not gone down well with him: “Losing the title of prince? I feel a strange sensation. It’s an experience I would have preferred not to have.. My whole family and I are obviously very sad. As my parents also said, we are shocked by this decision and the speed with which it was taken.”

Felix, on the other hand, has never said a word in public about his grandmother’s choice. And he has continued his life as usual. The newly twenty-two-year-old, who study business administration and service management at the Copenhagen Business School, he has never been interested in Crown affairs. And now, in addition to his studies, he is completely taken up with love. For almost a year he has in fact been happily engaged to the 23-year-old actress Mie Sofia Elersof Chilean-Danish origins. The girl lives in Spain, where the count joins her whenever he can. And she too, to hug her beloved, often flies to Copenhagen.
