Meanwhile, one fan commented: ‘Wow how handsome he is…’

After graduating high school, Nikolai will be free to following his own career path.  As seventh in line to the Danish throne, he does not collect an income from the Crown.

He also has not been required by his father to perform any official duties.

‘He must not be forced into anything. Nikolai’s life must take place entirely after his own plan. I want to help him on my way and try to inspire him,’ Joachim told Billed-Bladet.

Nikolai’s mother is Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg, who divorced Joachim in 2004 after nine years of marriage.

The couple have another child together, 15-year-old Prince Felix. 

Joachim married second wife Princess Marie in 2008 and had two more children: eight-year-old Henrik and six-year-old Athena. 

Earlier this summer, there appeared to be an awkward moment between Nikolai’s mother Alexandra, and his step-mother Marie when they both attended his graduation ceremony.

A clip appeared to show the two women jostling for position as they posed for a photo with Nikolai.
