## Life

Frederika was born eleven years into her parents' marriage. Her mother, Margrethe, was forty-five and her father was fifty-one when she was born.

Frederika's father was killed in an automobile accident when she was fifteen months old. Frederika was riding in the car behind her parents when the accident occurred, saving her from injury.

Upon her father's death, the title of Count of Monpezat was set to pass to Michael's brother, Henri. Queen Margrethe filed an appeal on her infant daughter's behalf, claiming that she was entitled to inherit her father's title and assets as dictated in his will. In May 1991, **King Henri VI of France** decreed that Frederika should, indeed, inherit her father's title and fortune. A short time later, Queen Margarethe reached a private settlement with Count Henri.

From 2004 to 2008, Frederika attended Cambridge University in England, studying Art History. She was part of what became known as the 'Cambridge Set,' a group of young royals attending the university around the same time. From this group, she is known to be especially close to **Ingrid, Crown Princess of Sweden, Victoria, Princess of Piedmont, Leonor, Princess of Wales**, and **Princess Marianne of the Netherlands**.
