Nikolai has shared some more photos from France - of course including one of those photos that he and Benedikte do best..

Indeed. It's a lovely photo. I like Nikolai's smile.

Nikolai's girlfriend confirmed that she and Nikolai are currently in Denmark.
It seems she is starting a job in Denmark, she was kinda cryptic with her answers so its not known if she is moving back from Australia.

Benedikte Thoustrup afslører: Hjemme i Danmark igen

Der venter et nyt job i Danmark til grev Nikolais kæreste - og begge er netop nu tilbage i fødelandet

It seems as if Benedikte wants to be friendly towards the press but hasn't really learnt the knack of how to handle them like her boyfriend does - friendly, but firm.

Nikolai and Benedikte enjoyed the Copenhagen Fashion Week today, August 6:

Grev Nikolai og Benedikte Thoustrup gør det igen: Vilde med modeugen

Det hippe og hotte par dukkede endnu engang op til årets modeuge i København – og denne gang var til én af de helt store modeshows

Nikolai gave a small interview at fashion week

Grev Nikolai i hopla: Kom med kækt svar på ét særligt spørgsmål

Grev Nikolai var i det spøgefulde hjørne, da han talte om den danske mode med SE og HØRs journalist

[Muhler]

Well, I'm not sure I like his sun-glassses combined with this hairstyle. It reminds me too much about a certain Danish ex-politician (Simon-Emil Ammitsbøl) and that's not particularly flattering.
Anyway, he sure has inherited his parents way with the press. Of course he has a lot of experience by now and has given many interviews, but it is clear to me that his command of the nuances of the Danish language is above average.

 

[Curryong]

I suppose this will be the end for a while of their travels to different parts of the world for Nikolai and Benedikte if she has a new job. Though Nikolai will continue his modelling I guess.

To be precise: his grandfather, not his younger brother.

 

[maria-olivia]

The day before his Funerals , he was for the first time Model abroad of Denmark.

 

[DreamDuchess]

Does Nikolai still model? I've only seen him at events, is his job considered "influenser"? Nothing wrong with that I'm just wondering.

I know what he means and I know it’s meant with a lot of love and respect… but I hope either there are fashion limits or that some of the particularly Henrik outfits will be saved until he is PH’s age.

And it would be interesting to know how he feels his grandfather is an influence other than élan.

Well, I'm not sure I like his sun-glassses combined with this hairstyle. It reminds me too much about a certain Danish ex-politician (Simon-Emil Ammitsbøl) and that's not particularly flattering.

To me it resembles Adam Driver playing Maurizio Gucci too much — good part, but also an outcome to be avoided!

And it would be interesting to know how he feels his grandfather is an influence other than élan.

His grandfather was by most accounts a generous and loving man who could connect with almost anyone and always saw the funny side to things.
Thats not a bad role model for a young man to have.

 

[maria-olivia]

Prince Henrik was a loving Grandfather, and he knew the problems with Joachim and Alexandra , who had to wait the Wedding of Frederic and Mary to annonce their divorce.

All undoubtedly true, but wouldn’t it be nice to hear more of it from his devoted grandson rather than having to guess? I realize Nikolai is also relatively private, but he seems to have picked up the chronicler genes from his dad and possibly both paternal grandparents.

That's good.
IMO it's beneficial to study abroad for a while. Broadens the horizon and teach independence.

A nice post by Nikolai today - sharing ten of his "obsessions", nothing new and/or surprising, but still nice

Looks like it. She also shows her engagement ring (I assume) very clearly.

Nice to hear.
Im sure he will enjoy his time in Mexico.

While a wedding for them wouldn’t surprise me at all given how long they have been together - my feeling is that that tiktok was made in a funny and joking way….
