Ever praised for her beauty, Dane Nikolai has just been thwarted by his grandmother-queen’s surprising decision.
Imagine being born a prince, living 23 years with such a title of nobility and suddenly losing that privilege.
As of January 1, 2023, “His Highness Prince Nikolai of Denmark” will no longer have royal treatment.
It will only be Nikolai, Count of Monpezat. The relegation was decided by the maternal grandmother, Queen Margherita II.
His 3 brothers will also be deprived of the titles inherent to the direct descendants of a monarch.
Margaret’s attitude spawned an unprecedented family crisis and criticism against the popular 82-year-old queen.
He said he wanted to free his grandchildren from the life full of rules and limitations of the closest members of his royal home.
It didn’t happen. Her impression is that the queen despises the children of her youngest, Prince Joachim, while she favors the family of her eldest son and heir to the throne, Prince Frederik.
Although he is no longer a prince, Nikolai will continue in the line of succession to the Danish crown, behind his uncle, 4 cousins and his own father. The chance that he will one day become king is almost zero.
The trajectory of the young noble runs away from the conventional. In 2018 she began a modeling career, an unusual profession for a member of the royal family.
Belo, 1.83 m tall and weighs 72 kg, has been the protagonist of advertising campaigns for luxury brands such as Burberry and Dior. He walked the runway at London Fashion Week and posed for magazine covers.
Pushed by his father, Nikolai returned to Copenhagen, studied economics and business management courses in Paris.
Against his will, the prince began military training at the Danish Army Sergeant School. Unfortunately, he quit training a few months later.
He was advised to leave the fashion world and take up a conventional profession. He started working in an office that sells high-end real estate.
Loved by the princesses of other European monarchies, Nikolai fell in love with a commoner, model and accessories designer Benedikte Thoustrup.
Despite the harassment from the press and fans of the boy, the couple manages to maintain the privacy of their relationship. Now in the spotlight due to the retirement of the title, she avoids journalists even more.
Danish media have revealed that Nikolai and her brothers are in an identity crisis for having lost the royal treatment. “I don’t know what it means to be someone else,” said the future ex-prince. You will have to learn.
