Countess Athena, who held the title of Princess of Denmark until her grandmother revoked the titles of her and her siblings in 2023 to streamline the monarchy, lives in Washington D.C. with her family. Her father, Prince Joachim, serves as defence industry attaché at the Danish Embassy.

Athena is the younger child of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie. Her uncle, King Frederik, is currently on the Danish throne after her grandmother, Queen Margrethe, abdicated in January 2024. She is ninth in the line of succession.
