COPENHAGEN, Denmark: Prince Joachim, the younger son of Queen Margrethe of Denmark who underwent an emergency surgery in France in July for a blood clot in his brain, said Friday he was eager to get started as he arrived for his first work day at the Danish Embassy in Paris.
I am fine, Joachim told Danish broadcaster DR outside the Danish mission in the French capital where he will be defense attach.
Joachim who was tapped in June for the job, said it had been a non-summer after he was rushed to the Toulouse University Hospital on July 24. The 51-year-old prince was to have started as defense attach on Sept. 1 but it was postponed because of his condition.
Joachim and his French-born wife, Princess Marie, were residing at his mothers private summer residence of Chateau de Cayx in southwestern France when he got the blood clot. Doctors assessed that the risk of recurrence was very small.
Joachim is sixth in line to Denmarks throne after his elder brother, Crown Prince Frederik, and his brothers four children.
