René and Margrethe also had three sons: Prince Jacques (1922-1964, who married to Danish Countess Birgitte Holstein-Ledreborg), Prince Michel (born in 1926, husband firstly of Yolande de Broglie-Revel and secondly and currently to Princess Maria Pia of Savoy) and Prince André (1928-2011).

There were rumors about Princess Thyra marrying a British prince, either Prince Alfred of Edinburgh or Prince Arthur of Connaught.
These rumors proved unfounded.

More precisely, the rumors were about a possible marriage between Thyra and Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, or Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught.
Prince Alfred of Edinburgh and Prince Arthur of Connaught were their namesake sons, and besides were far too young for marrying Princess Thyra.

Another candidate for marrying Thyra was King Willem III of the Netherlands, but he was rejected because he was too old (he was 36 years older than the Princess).
