Prince Joachim and Princess Marie of Denmark are taking their family with them and moving from Washington DC and back to Denmark in 2027.

The latter confirms this in a larger interview with Danes The picture magazine.

In the interview, she says that the move will take place when Prince Joachim finishes his job as defense industry attaché in Washington DC, a contract that lasts until August 2027.

– The most important thing for me and my family are the years that are right in front of us. Right now we are staying another year and a half in the USA, so the children can finish school, says the princess.

The couple have two children together, Count Henrik (16) and Countess Athena (14). From a previous marriage, Prince Joachim has children Count Nikolai (26) and Count Felix (23).

Marie says that Henrik will finish high school and turn 18 before the family moves home.

Athena is scheduled to start high school in Denmark, according to the princess.

She also says that she is looking forward to returning to work and tasks she has in Denmark.

Bildebladet further asks if this means that they will move home when Joachim’s contract expires in August 2027.

– Yes! she replies, adding that the family is looking forward to coming back, while at the same time describing the time abroad as exciting and as an opportunity to support Denmark.
