Prince Joachim was here during the change of throne

Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik’s youngest son, Prince Joachim, was conspicuously absent yesterday. According to informed sources, he will be present at the inauguration ceremony, but he never appeared on screen. The Internet was filled with questions like: “Where is Prince Joachim anyway?” We know the answer.

On Sunday, January 14, 2024, Queen Margaret officially abdicated. Her son succeeds her as King Frederick X. Her other son, Prince Joachim, was always the “standby prince”. It is a role that he suffers from. For example, he noted in an interview that he “finds it difficult to live in the shadows.” In addition, Queen Margrethe will withdraw the titles of Prince and Princess from Prince Joachim’s children in 2022. This was to modernize the Danish royal family. This made Prince Joachim’s children feel rejected.

Present at the change of throne

Despite all this basic information, insiders announced that Prince Joachim will be present at the inauguration ceremony. He will leave his family at home in the United States. Queen Margaret’s youngest son has been living in Washington, D.C., since 2023 due to his work at the Danish Embassy. Prince Joachim was present at his mother’s abdication ceremony, but did not appear on Danish television. Yet we know where he was.

The Danish Court is very active on social media, and we make good use of it. Yesterday, the court shared a beautiful video in which we see how the new King Frederick prepares for the balcony scene at Christiansborg Palace. This includes Prince Joachim. He watches from the palace as his brother waves to the crowd.
