Prince Joachim and Princess Alexandra of Denmark

It's not just the British royals who have had divorces in recent years. Prince Joachim of Denmark, the younger son of Queen Margrethe II, married Alexandra Christina Manley, a former sales and marketing executive, in 1995. The couple had two children, Prince Nikolai in 1999 and Prince Felix in 2000.

In 2004, the couple announced their intention to divorce — the first divorce in the Danish royal family in over 150 years. Alexandra became known as the Countess of Frederiksborg and remarried in 2007, though that marriage also ended in divorce in 2015. Prince Joachim also remarried in 2007 to now-Princess Marie, and they also had two children: Prince Henrik and Princess Athena.
