Count Felix, the youngest son of Prince Joachim and Countess Alexandra, has earned his bachelor's degree from Copenhagen Business School. His older brother, Count Nikolai, shared the news on Instagram, posting a short video clip and a photo.
Felix initially pursued International Shipping and Trade at the business school but later switched to Business Administration and Service Management. This is the same program his brother, Count Nikolai, also completed.
Felix holds the seventh position in the Danish line of succession and was born a prince of Denmark. However, he, along with his three siblings, had their royal titles removed effective January 1, 2023. This decision was made by his grandmother, the then-reigning Queen Margrethe.
The removal of royal titles for Prince Joachim's children was intended to provide them with greater freedom to build their own lives, unburdened by the specific considerations and obligations that come with a formal connection to the royal house. The royal house had previously announced in 2016 that only the eldest child of the Crown Prince couple was expected to receive an annual allowance, as this grandchild would inherit the throne. The other seven grandchildren were expected to support themselves.
