Alongside a series of tidbits, a caption read: "On Thursday, a new documentary will have its world premiere during CPH:DOX. The film follows His Royal Highness Prince Joachim and the writer Steffen Jacobsen on a walk along Hærvejen - the historical route that for centuries has connected Jutland from north to south."

"Along the way, they openly share life stories and experiences from two widely different upbringings. Through honor, forests and cobblestone roads, honest conversations arise about social heritage, responsibility and the threads of fate that shape a man."

His Royal Highness Prince Joachim is a great mediator of history among other things," while a second chimed in: "I've been waiting for this. Prince Joachim is so good at talking about Denmark and our history."
Joachim is the youngest son of Queen Margrethe and the younger brother of King Frederik X. He shares two sons - Count Nikolai and Count Felix - with his first wife Alexandra Manley, and Count Henrik and Countess Athena with his current wife Marie Cavallier.

At the time, Queen Margrethe said: "It is a consideration I have had for quite a long time and I think it will be good for them in their future. That is the reason."
Prince Joachim, meanwhile, said: "It's never fun to see your children being mistreated like that. They themselves find themselves in a situation they do not understand."
