French nobleman and the husband of Queen Margrethe II. Henrik married Margrethe, then heir presumptive to the Danish throne, at Copenhagen on 10 June 1967. The couple had two sons, Crown Prince Frederik (born 1968) and Prince Joachim (born 1969). They had eight grandchildren.
Henrik became Prince Consort of Denmark when his wife acceded to the throne of her father, King Frederik IX, on 14 January 1972. Throughout his time as Prince consort, Henrik voiced his displeasure with the fact that he never received the title of King.
