Counts Nikolai, Felix, Henrik & Countess Athena, News Part 1: 2023 -

[Muhler]

This is old info from November 2023 I think. When you click on the article and then on the billedbladet.dk article they quote, this is from Nov 2023.

It's when he extended his stay after the semester abroad due to university. He is done now.

He is spending lots of time in Australia though

Hmm, looks like someone from BT screwed up, because the article is still there, having been uploaded ten hours ago. And so have I, because I didn't bother checking the BB article.
Well, we'll see. Perhaps they will stay in Australia for Christmas

 

[Luc122]

It would not be surprising to spend time in Australia, where he has established a life amongst close friends and business acquaintances

 

[Halise]

It is confirmed that Count Nikolai and his Benedikte intend to celebrate Christmas in Australia.
They were scheduled to end their stay on 30th November, but they are extending their stay.

Grev Nikolai forlænger sit ophold i Australien

I år bliver en lun jul for den unge greve.

All that according to Countess Alexandra's secretary, Helle von Wildenrath Løvgreen.

I guess they seriously plan to stay in Australia. Perhaps set up a business or find employment.

My heart jumped reading their names because I thought they were announcing an engagement... until I read Christmas

 

[Biri]

And where will they spend Easter?

 

[Muhler]

Are you ready for some romance?

Nikolai and Benedikte's first public kiss... sorta.

That is indeed very cute and once again shows their strong sense of humor (in a positive way!).

And that they have this humor in common is a wonderful basis for their relationship.

Nikolai announced on his Instagram that he is flying back to Copenhagen right now.

Gådefuld besked: Dukker grev Nikolai og Benedikte Thoustrup op til prinsesse Isabellas fest?

Kort før prinsesse Isabellas store fødselsdagsfest har grev Nikolai og hans kæreste, Benedikte Thoustrup, delt en besked, der tyder på, at de er på vej til Danmark.

www.billedbladet.dk

We'll see if he attends Isabella's celebration at the Royal theatre and/or his grandmother's birthday celebration on the 16.
Or just more traveling.

 

[Halise]

It seems that Felix has grown a little, although I don't notice any difference from his father's premiere.

Grev Nikolai og grev Felix ankom sammen: Lagde du mærke til den matchende detalje?

De to brødre grev Nikolai og grev Felix matchede hinanden, da de ankom sammen til prinsesse Isabellas fødselsdagsfejring i Det Kongelige Teater.

Nikolai has shared some very lovely photos of his brother and himself during their preparations for Isabella's birthday event this week.
The most charming photo - as to the accompanying comment - though has not been included in the gallery but in his instagram story only, I've made a screenshot, see here:

How incredibly sweet, for those of us who've followed the family way before Mary's arrival, Nikolai and Felix were the center of attention for a good couple years, especially Nikolai.
I remember one documentary in particular (following Joachim and Marie) and it was clear how absolutely devoted Henrik was to those two little boys, his absence for them must be massively felt. He truly was one of a kind.

Indeed Nikolai has a special place for many danes as he is the oldest grandchild of QMII and PH and was for 6 years number 3 in the line of succession behind his uncle and father and not unlikely to end up as King at some point as uncle Frederik was above 30 and still unmarried…

Things has obviously changed since then but people have not forgot, and Nikolai is still popular among many danes….

 

[Biri]

How long he and Benedikte are together already?

Anyone remembers?

 

[Izzie]

How long he and Benedikte are together already?

Anyone remembers?

About 7 years now I believe.

 

[Luc122]

It seems they have been involved since their school years during their time in the Copenhagen Business School

 

[Archduchess Zelia]

Actually way before. They started dating when they were at Herlufsholm together.

 

[Hans-Rickard]

They met some time around when he was 18-19… So 7-8 years

 

[tommy100]

I wonder if Nikolai plans to go into Marketing and Branding properly when he can no longer model. TBH they are not that different- a model if the face of a brand in their marketing campaign so it part of that process. While he is young enough, and dare I say has looks enough to model, he can properly make more from modelling than he could in Marketing and Branding - at least starting out. But it does give him an insight into that world.

Lovely pictures.

And a great location.Might any one know if the pictures were taken in Nikolai's apartment.

 

[polyesco]

I like the sweet nod to his grandpa's gift.

Not sure on the picture of the products he is using. This mix of commercialization to a family event, not my cup of tea.
But sweet photos of the brothers.

 

[Muhler]

Lovely pictures.

And a great location.Might any one know if the pictures were taken in Nikolai's apartment.

There is a reflection of a window in a mirror in one of the pictures and that rules out Amalienborg.
The chimney-piece is wonderful BTW and combined with style of a decorations on the ceilings, the style and place of the light-switches indicates an older (150-250 years) building.
(Yes, I know electrical lighting didn't come to DK until the 1880s. The first electric power-plant in DK was a battleship BTW. But by 1900 new houses were being designed with light-switches getting a more uniform and practical place.)

He is turning into a lovely young man though is very much in that gangly and awkward teenage stage!

Has Nikolai made a longer term move to Australia - or are the couple doing summer in Europe and escaping to the southern hemisphere for winter (and their summer)
