Prince Joachim of Denmark and Marie Cavallier

May 24, 2008When Prince Joachim of Denmark split from his first wife, Alexandra, in 2005, he was the first in Europe's oldest monarchy to divorce in 160 years. But love came knocking on the father of two's door yet again. He became engaged to French-born Marie Cavallier in 2007. Well-educated and fluent in four languages, Cavallier quit her job with her stepfather's investment company and converted from Catholicism to Denmark's Lutheran Evangelical Church when she married the prince.Fit for royalty, the wedding ceremony took place in an 800-year-old church in Moegeltoender, north of the German border in Denmark. A private dinner at the couple's residence, the Schackenborg mansion, followed the ceremony, which 200 guests attended. The bride, 31, wore an off-white dress made of 19th-century-inspired French lace, while Prince Joachim, 38, donned an infantry gala uniform.Royal watchers in Denmark reported that the couple honeymooned in Canada, first in the wilderness and then in the city, Montreal to be specific.Royal watchers in Europe are keen on writing about this pair. The vast majority of information has been kind, and a lot of it has been distributed by the royal family itself through press releases and conferences.Divorce does not have to mean the end of love in your life. And you have to give up a lot to be a princess. You have to decide if it's worth it.
