Unhappy

How very, very sad. I just hope it's a "civil" divorce, and no horrible fighting and vindictiveness between the parents. The boys are so adorable and hopefully, they will be the top priority for all involved. A very sad thing.

I can't believe this either. They seemed to be doing so well. It's just proves that you never really know what is going on behind closed doors. Things may look good on the surface, but that certainly may not be the case.

It's none of my business, but I certainly do wonder what happened?

It seems, however, that Joachim needs to really grow up; while tabloids can't be trusted to report truth, the one consitent report is that he's keeping busy with fast cars and exciting adventures. Alexandra has managed to find a good balance between personal "fun" and public responsibility. When was the last time he showed he was more than a spoiled playboy prince?

I think we need to be very careful about what we post. We shouldn't speculate what the problems are.

This is really sad news. I hope the two boys will be sheltered from the press throughout this period.

I have no idea what happened. Whatever it may be, it seems that everyone is being very calm about the entire situation. I would like to know what happened, and can only guess that as with most relationships it is a combination of things. The good thing is that at this point, Alex and Joachim seem to be handling this as cordially as possible. Considering the way that they always seem when in public together and even when they were at the wedding the other day, I certainly couldn't tell that any divorce annoucement was coming.

I am glad that Alex will stay in Denmark and that they have already seemed to have decided how they will share custody of the children. It's also nice that Alex will have stiped and be an HH instead of an HRH. It seems that the decision was mutual and well thought about on all sides. If they can keep things as civil as they have, then all will continue to go well. But, it is still surprising. I just never would have thought that Joachim and Alex would get a divorce or that they were even having any problems so serious that it would come to this. I guess you just neve know, do you?

Well, if they were a perfect couple, then they would not need to get a divorce. Divorce is usually a last option, so clearly they have been having problems for a while. The perfection that you speak of was clearly superficial, the only question is for how long have they been pretending and putting on good faces for the public?

Article in full....

What will happen to the boys? Will they stay with Joachim in Denmark???

16 SEPTEMBER 2004

The Danish royal house confirmed on Thursday that Prince Joachim and his Hong Kong-born wife Princess Alexandra are to divorce after nine years of marriage.

Prince Joachim is the younger brother of Crown Prince Frederik, who wed his Australian girlfriend Mary Donaldson in May this year.

Danish public radio announced the news earlier this week following rumours that the pair had been living separate lives. While the palace initially declined to confirm the reports, the news was made official at a press conference in the Yellow Palace at Amalienborg on Thursday.

The couple, who married in November 1995, have two children – five-year-old Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix, who's two.

According to a statement read by royal family chamberlain Ove Ullerup, Queen Margrethe and her husband Prince Henrik "deeply regretted" the couple's decision.

Forty-year-old Alexandra, a former mutual fund manager, met her husband in 1994 in Hong Kong, where the second-in-line to the throne was employed by a Danish shipping company. Following their nuptials the following year, the new princess quickly won the hearts of the Danes with her stylish dress sense and fluent grasp of the Danish language.

Since then the princess, who gave up her British citizenship in favour of that of her new homeland, has earned a reputation as a hard-working royal. She spends much of her time fulfilling royal duties, serving as the patron of nearly two dozen charitable organisations. She is also the president of Unicef Denmark.

Her 35-year-old husband's enthusiasm for soccer, rock concerts and racing vintage cars has, on the other hand, led him to being dubbed a "party prince" in some quarters.

Denmark's monarchy is the oldest in Europe – it was founded in 958 by the Viking king Gorm the Old – and Joachim and Alexandra's divorce will be the first such split in modern times.

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 16 (Xinhuanet) -- The Danish Royal Court announced at a press conference in Copenhagen on Thursday that Prince Joachim and his Hong Kong-born wife, Princess Alexandra, have decided to separate, according to reports from Denmark. The 35-year-old Prince Joachim and 40-year-old Princess Alexandra announced through the court that they are separating with the intention to divorce after a marriage of nearly nine years.

It would be the first divorce in the Danish royal family in 165 years and comes just four months after Prince Frederik, Joachim's elder brother and the heir to the throne, married
