Princess Elisabeth Sells Her Charming North Zealand Home: Could Be Yours For Nearly 14 Million Kroner

Blog favourite and general bad-ass Princess Elisabeth is downsizing and putting her very adorable wedding-cake home on the market. The 1916 villa in the upscale but not ritzy town of Holte in North Zealand may have too many levels for the nearly 80 year old gal. Who could blame her? And she'll make a mint. She bought the pile 33 years ago paying just over a million. Good! Your father may have been denied kingship, but you can have the last laugh as one of the few members of the Danish royal family with boo-coo cash on hand. Well played, girl.

The photos show a very lovely mini-palace of 288 square metres. There are small but dignified reception rooms at ground level and very functional private spaces with a lovely view out onto the nearby lake. What a perfect post-divorce home this would be for Madam, la Comtesse de Nez-en-air! Can't you just see MoreMore on the balcony of her own personal Elba? It's situated somewhat between Fredensborg/Kancellihuset and Xian and Izzy's school in Hellerup so that she can still show up at her Daisy-mandated official events in her own children's lives. It's also halfway between Copenhagen and Tisvilde on the north coast, in case romantic getaways are necessary?

Princess Elisabeth Puts Multimillion Kroner Villa Up For Sale

Queen Margrethe's cousin, Elisabeth Caroline-Mathilde Alexandrine Helena Olga Thyra Feodora Estrid Margarethe Désirée - or for convenience 'Princess Elisabeth', is looking for a new place to live.

The 78-year-old princess today made her magnificent villa at Gammel Dronninggårds Avenue at Furesøen in Holte available for sale for the staggering sum of 13.9 million kroner, well above the purchase price in 1980, when she paid 1,866,000 million for the property .

If you choose to buy the mansion, you must, according to the broker - who has announced the house under the heading 'In POMP & MAGNIFICENCE' - expect to spend 2-3 million DKK to put the property back into good condition, but then you can in turn impress guests with an entry hall with fireplace, two large living rooms ensuite, stucco ceilings, a balcony overlooking the lake, party room and sauna.

Princess Elisabeth, who is unmarried, is the daughter of Crown Prince Knud and Princess Caroline-Mathilde and older sister to Ingolf and the late Christian of Rosenborg.

She worked in the Foreign Ministry from 1956 to 2001, stationed among other places in Washington, DC, and at the Danish UN mission in the Swiss city of Geneva.

She is number 12 in succession to the throne.

Happy Birthday, Princess Elisabeth! Keep Sticking It To Daisy, Old Girl!

Tillykke med fødselsdagen, kære Prinsesse Elisabeth!! Born 8 May 1935 to two royal parents (sorry Izzy!!), Her Highness was born with the glorious run-on name of Elisabeth Caroline-Mathilde Alexandrine Helena Olga Thyra Feodora Estrid Margrethe Désirée. Father Prince Knud (younger brother and only sibling to Derf's grandfather King Frederik IX) was the heir apparent to his brother who only had daughters. Women weren't allowed on the throne of Denmark. Then Ingrid came along. In 1953, she lobbied and fought for her oldest daughter, the gawky, pimply Margrethe, to be the future queen, denying Elisabeth's father and younger brother Ingolf the opportunity to reign over Denmark. Oh, what a future we could have avoided!

Elisabeth, you little devil. We know what you're about - and we WHOLEHEARTEDLY APPROVE. Never married, and therefore never having given Daisy or Frederik IX the chance to deny her the birthright of being a Princess of Denmark (brothers Ingolf and Christian had to renounce being princes and become Counts of Rosenborg upon their marriages to - gasp! - Danish women). Elisabeth remains Her Highness and a princess. She is invited to major state events and other family events wearing her Elephant Order. Without children, she will not have the indignity of seeing her children without royal titles or laying in waste without invitations to more private family events (like her poor Rosenborg nieces, Countesses Feodora, Josefine, and Camilla who were not invited to cousin Derf's wedding reception).

A cautionary tale for Team Schackenborg! Especially when Her Bogan Majesty Queen "Bloody" Mary comes to the throne to rule for her husband Frederik X who will spend most of his time in the palace garretts curled into the fetal position, being nursed by a round the clock team of large breasted nannies who are required to drink large quantities of Carlsberg to supplement their milk.

Wear that Elephant, girl!!
