IN PHOTOS: Countess Athena confirmed in Washington

Countess Athena of Monpezat was confirmed at the Georgetown Lutheran Church in Washington, D.C.

The confirmation was officiated by pastor and former minister Esben Lunde Larsen at Georgetown Lutheran Church.

The confirmation was celebrated privately.

Countess Athenia is the younger child and only daughter of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie of Denmark. She had two elder half-brothers, Count Nikolai and Count Felix, from her father’s first marriage, and one full brother, Count Henrik. She is the youngest grandchild of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.

The family currently lives in the United States because Prince Joachim is the defence industry attaché at the Danish Embassy.
