Princess Elisabeth of Denmark

Princess Elisabeth of Denmark

Princess Elisabeth of Denmark ("Elisabeth Caroline-Mathilde Alexandrine Helena Olga Thyra Feodora Estrid Margarethe Désirée"; born 8 May 1935 in Copenhagen) is the daughter of Hereditary Prince Knud (younger son of King Christian X and Queen Alexandrine) and Hereditary Princess Caroline-Mathilde of Denmark. She is a first cousin of Queen Margrethe II, and is in line for the British Throne. Because she, unlike her brothers, has not married a commoner, she retains her place in the line of succession and the title of Princess of Denmark (literally translated as "Prinsesse til Danmark", which is reserved for those members of the Royal Family in line of succession)."

Princess Elisabeth was employed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 1956 to 2001 and was posted abroad a number of times.

Though she has never married, she lived with Claus Hermansen for 25 years until his death in 2006. [ [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/GEN-ROYAL/1999-08/0936147367 RootsWeb: GEN-ROYAL-L Princess Elisabeth of Denmark] ] She does not have children.

She is godmother to her great-nephew, Theodor Rosanes af Rosenborg, the youngest grandson of Elisabeth's brother Christian. [ [http://www.idefabrikken.dk/theodorsdaab Theodors Daab] ]
