Joachim & Marie’s Official Visit to China

On Sunday, Denmark’s Prince Joachim and Princess Marie arrived in Hong Kong to kick off their eight day official visit to China. They will be promoting such Danish products as cuisine, fashion and design.

On Tuesday, they toured the city and then opened an exhibit in Hong Kong’s Shopping Center called “The Danish Design Jewels.”

Towards the end of their tour, Joachim and Marie will go to Beijing.

The royal couple also brought with them their 6 1/2 month old son, Prince Henrik. Unfortunately though, there won’t be much time for the parents to spend time with their baby, so a nanny was brought along for the visit.

The Prince is very familiar with Hong Kong. In the late 1990s, he worked here, and it was in the city he met a woman named Alexandra Manley. The two married and had Joachim’s first two sons, Nikolai and Felix. Sadly, the couple divorced in 2005, and Alexandra became known as the Countess of Frederiksborg.
