Danish Prince Joachim returned to Château de Cayx, owned by the royal family in the Lot, the homeland of his father of French origin, Henrik of Denmark, where he had a stroke on July 24. He was released from hospital in Toulouse in southwestern France on Monday evening after recovering from an operation for a blood clot in his brain in late July. "Doctors believe that the health of his royal highness has improved to the point of allowing him to be released from the hospital," the court said.
Reserve colonel, the prince has just spent a year of training in Paris at the Center des Hautes Etudes Militaires (CHEM) and at the Institut des Hautes Etudes de la Défense Nationale (IHEDN) at the Military School. He was to take up his duties at the start of the school year as defense attaché at the Danish Embassy in Paris, for a planned period of three years.
Joachim, 51 years old and youngest son of Queen Margrethe II, is only sixth in the order of accession to the throne since the birth of the four children of his big brother, Crown Prince Frederik.
