Yes, I had forgotten that Prince Joachim mentioned that those plans had been presented to him and he thought he had some time to prepare his children.

I have always a soft spot for Nikolai. He was born 3rd in line to the Danish throne and was known affectionately as "Little Prince".

He was interviewed recently in connection with his 25th birthday and he came across as a very sensible young man. He said he realizes there is a lot of interest in him but he doesn't find it oppressive - "I just want to be the best version of myself". He reminded me of his father when he said he feels a duty to bring honour to his name and family.
