Prince Felix of Denmark throws down. After just a month at the Slagelse Military Academy, he’s had enough. He is following the example of his older brother Prince Nikolai.
Copenhagen – The press release from the Danish royal family is short and sweet. “His Highness Prince Felix (19) has decided to break off the training at the military academy that Prince Felix started in August at the Gardehusar barracks in Slagelse”. The reasons are private, you do not want to comment on it. Why did Prince Felix throw in the towel after just a month?
The possible triggers for the quick end, reveals 24royal.de *.
Because the palace is so covered, there is wild speculation as to what may have led to the early abandonment of the career with which Prince Felix would have followed in the footsteps of his father Prince Joachim * (52). Several scenarios are conceivable.
A break in tradition as a settlement with the father? It is a tradition among Danish royals * to complete a two-year military training course. Father Prince Joachim was delighted that his sons wanted to follow in his footsteps at first. Perhaps the breaking off is a sign of cutting the cord and stepping out of the shadows of the royal family? This scenario seems rather unlikely, because father and son seem to get along very well.
Prince Joachim *, however, has had a remarkable military career. In 1987 he began his military training and rose to lieutenant in the reserve in the following years. Prince Joachim has been Major of the Reserve in the Danish Army since 2005. In 2019 he completed military training at the renowned French military academy École Militaire in Paris.
Love could also have played a role in the decision. For those newly in love, the days are long when you can’t see each other. The longing is particularly great when you’ve just come back from your summer vacation together and have been inseparable *. Prince Felix had recently made the relationship with his girlfriend Karen Bak public.
Brother Prince Nikolai also dropped out of military training after two months. * 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
