Felix, the youngest son of Prince Joachim and his ex-wife Countess Alexandra, is the latest face of luxury jewelry brand Georg Jensen.
Prince Felix as a model
Blood flows where it can’t go: in the fashion industry in the case of Felix. Now that he is eighth in the line of succession to the throne and will therefore have virtually no claim to the throne, Felix can focus on other matters in life. Like his brother, he is now taking his first steps in the fashion business.
Because, Felix will also know, fashion houses love collaborations with royals. Just look at Chanel: they recruited Charlotte Casiraghi, Grace Kelly’s granddaughter, as a muse slash PR machine. She even galloped down the catwalk for the French fashion house.
photoshoot
Incidentally, there is little royal about the first snapshot of Felix as a model that was released. In fact, maybe you should look twice. Queen Margrethe’s grandson has given herself a short but shaggy haircut. The photos also have a Dutch touch, because they were taken by the Dutch photographer Marco van Rijt. He previously shot the snapshots of Prince Nikolai vogue man.
And because you can’t get away with just a photo shoot these days, a fashionable video has also been made in which a lot of serious looks are thrown into the camera.
Stopped studying
This foray into the fashion world is a major change of course for Felix. Actually, the prince had the ambitions to pursue a military career, but shortly after the start of his training last September, he stopped for personal reasons. Since then, he has been doing an internship at a transport company. A lot less glamorous than this work.
Meanwhile, brother Nikolai is busy becoming an established name in the fashion industry. He previously graced the cover of vogue and may add runway model for Dior and Burberry to his resume. It is probably Nikolai who opened the doors for his brother at the modeling agency he is affiliated with. Felix is now also represented by Scoop Models. Undoubtedly to be continued.
With the announcement that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are taking a step back from the British royal family a few years ago, the royal couple also announced that they want to become financially independent. But how do other royals actually make their money?
