Prince Felix of Denmark graduated from Gammel Hellerup Gymnasium on Wednesday 23 June 2021. Present to congratulate him were his parents, Prince Joachim, and Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg, as well as his big brother, Prince Nikolai.
Prince Felix told the Danish magazine, “Billed Bladet”: “ It was obviously a very big moment. And it is really nice to have Dad at home from Paris, even if it’s only for a short while. But just the fact that he is here, I am very happy”.
Now a new life awaits the Danish prince. His Highness Prince Felix of Denmark, Count of Monpezat and grandchild of Queen Margrethe, has been admitted to one of the country’s prestigious military education camps. Prince Felix will begin the Army’s two-year sergeant training in the military camp in Varde once he has received his exam results. The military sergeant training in Varde is a well-respected and tough education and there are strict admission requirements, both in terms of physical and mental strength.
The prince has decided that after his exams he will follow in the footsteps of his father, Prince Joachim, and begin his sergeant training. Prince Joachim has a very solid military education and is currently ranked as brigadier general. At the moment he works as the defence attaché for Denmark at their embassy in Paris. Prince Felix will turn 19 in July and is scheduled to begin his military education in August.
This is the same military training that his older brother, Prince Nikolai, dropped out of after only two months in the camp. It was officially confirmed by the Danish Royal House’s Head of Communications, in October 2018 that Prince Nikolai of Denmark had given up his two-year military training at the Royal Danish Army’s Sergeant School.
