Marie Cavallier, better known as Princess Marie of Denmark, is not an artist in the traditional sense but a member of the Danish royal family. Born on February 6, 1976, in Paris, France, she is the second wife of Prince Joachim of Denmark, the younger son of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. Before her marriage, she worked in various business sectors, including advertising, public relations, and the communications industry.
Princess Marie's life changed significantly when she married Prince Joachim on May 24, 2008. As a result of her marriage, she became Her Royal Highness Princess Marie of Denmark, Countess of Monpezat. Since then, she has been actively involved in numerous charitable organizations and has become a patron of various cultural institutions. Her work often focuses on areas such as education, health, humanitarian aid, and support for the arts.
Princess Marie has also embraced Danish culture, becoming fluent in Danish and engaging in the social and cultural life of Denmark. She is involved with the Danish National Committee for UNICEF and supports the Danish epilepsy association and the National Association for Autism. While she may not be an artist by profession, her life is closely intertwined with the patronage and support of the arts, cultural initiatives, and social causes, which is a vital aspect of contemporary artistic and cultural ecosystems.
