Prince Henrik's Family Thread

[sky]

Was his mother Mexican? I read on a website that the Danish court had some problems with him being Latin and I read somewhere else that his mother was Mexican. But I having read anything about it since. I just wanted know , since websites are always stating Alexandra family's backround, but for Henri only stating her was a French count.

Don't tell Henrik that his claim of being a French count is not legit

Well his claim of being a french count is legit becaus he is one of the older sons in the family.

IIRC, the family's entitlement to the countly title itself is questionable. IIRC, the title was never officially granted or the correct patent letters were not issued (something along those lines).

Latin background means here his French, not Mexican origin B) French culture belongs to Latin and Mediterrean heritage as well as Italian or Spanish. I just wonder how they reconciled their different temperaments? :flower:

What do you know about Frederik's french cousin : Grégoire de Laborde de Montpezat ? the son of Henrik's brother : Jean-Baptiste !

Have you got pics of him ?

Thanks

They mentioned on Danish television that one of HRH Prince Henrik's nephews was married to a Dane, I just can't remember which one (of the nephews, not the Danes )

[kil]

ONE of the Prince Henrik's nephew ... but he has .... sooooo many nephew
His sister has if I remember 8 children , one of his brother 3 children , an other one I don't know ...
So I don't really think it's the one I'm looking for I found a genealogy of the family and apparently he is not married ... it's not mentionned ...

Thanks

It said in "BT" today that Thomas Beauvillain and Vincent Beauvillain were on a hunting trip to Bornholm together with Prince Henrik and Prince Gustav of Berleburg. Apparently dear are in season.

Tell me more about this young man...... It would be great if someone could find a photo or photos of Henriks side of the family at the wedding....

[kil]

The one I'm looking for is named Grégoire de Laborde de Montpezat

As far as I have heard, no one can prove any merovingian descent. Has anyone heard otherwise? I would like to have some references in this matter.

I don't think it's a matter of intention either --- I think the family just started using it because another line of the family was made noble and they were not.

I do think there is a legitimate Marquess of Laborde of Montpezat though.

Interesting. It says that the Y chromosome is very strong in Prince Henriks descendents so it predicts another boy.

He may have a point there. Henrik had two sons, Joachim had two sons, chances are this second child of Frederik and Mary will be another son.
