The fashionable royal within the influencer universe has a name and surname, Nikolai of Denmark is the latest sensation in European royalty and has a profile of the most atypical within the monarchical reign.
He has just turned 22 and we can already say that he has done almost everything. He has toured entire cities and has been proclaimed as one of the most sought-after bachelors in the world of royalty. But the young prince does not have a vision of the future at the head of his country as head of state (he is sixth in the line of succession), but lives passionately about the world of fashion .
Dolce & Gabbana , Dior or Burberryare some of the well-known brands that King Joachim ‘s son and his first wife, Countess Alexandra of Frederiksborg, have already passed through . A passion carried out with enthusiasm and above all a lot of style
Nikolai William Alexander Frederik was born in Copenhagen and is the eldest of two children. Felix, his brother, is 18 years old. On the other hand, it also has two smaller half-siblings; Prince Henrik and Princess Athena , from his father’s second marriage to Princess Marie.
At just 22 years old, he is enjoying the last few weeksin his native Denmark before putting a new destiny to his life. The monarch, who has spent these holidays accompanied by his family, will head to Paris , city of light, to carry out a semester of his studies in Business Administration and Service Management through the Copenhagen Business School (CBS) which he has been studying since autumn 2019 .
But he will not make this trip alone, but will start a new life in the company of his girlfriend Benedikte Thoustrup , a relationship that began three years ago and continues to this day. Nicolas changes his residence since he has some optional subjectswithin his studies that allow him to carry out classes abroad from September of this year to January 2022 and the Dane has not hesitated to opt for this tempting option. Despite this, Paris was not always the prince’s first choice. In the beginning, moving to Hong Kong crossed his mind , but the coronavirus pandemic made him discard that idea and focus on a closer destination.
The monarch, who has always shown his great capacity for independence and self-sufficiency, wanted to take this new big step together with his girlfriend Benedikte , with whom he had already had the pleasure of sharing a house. Last summer they spent their holidays in an apartment located next to Amalienborg Castle., and at the beginning of 2021 they moved to another luxury one in the Norreport neighborhood located in the center of Copenhagen. Valued at 600,000 euros and with 70 square meters , it became the first love nest of the young couple.
The monarch’s girlfriend will also attend the seminar that Nikolai will enjoy and they will be able to experience Parisian life for at least three months . In this way, the young Danish prince will spend more time in the company of his father De he Joaquin , who also resides in the city.
Business and modeling, two passions united
The young Nikolai began his modeling career in 2017 when he was hired by the agencyScoop Models from Denmark, and since then it has caused a great furor among its followers and its success has not stopped growing. His great debut took place at the beginning of the year 2018 during the London Fashion Week where he was able to share catwalks with professionals such as Cara Delevingne on the Burberry catwalk.
Later, he opened the Kim Jones menswear show with theDior brand and has become an icon.
London, Paris, Tokyo… A promising career from which he had to say goodbye in order to focus on his true professional success, the world of administration and finance .
Despite the fact that in previous interviews the prince viewed his future with uncertainty, and opted for the balance between his studies and his work on the catwalk, it seems that in the end one of his great passions has ended up having more weight in his life.
With his decision to move to Paris, the Dane shows that he has found his true calling in the business world and that he will put his career as a model on hold to focus entirely on his studies.
