Prince Nikolai of Denmark<\/strong> is having what can only be described as a dream summer. Though he no longer holds the title of prince nor is he an active member of the royal family, he continues to enjoy France, the country Queen Margrethe<\/a> chose decades ago as her personal retreat with her family. Now, her grandson has paid tribute to his late grandfather, Prince Henrik<\/strong>, in a strikingly nostalgic way.<\/p>\n Dressed just like Henrik once was, in light trousers and a sky-blue button-down, Count Nikolai was photographed among the rolling vineyards of Ch\u00e2teau de Cayx<\/em>, perched along the Lot River near the village of Luzech in France\u2019s Occitanie region. The Danish royal family<\/a> has summered there since 1974, when Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik made the ch\u00e2teau their getaway.<\/p>\n The location is meaningful. Prince Henrik, born Henri de Laborde de Monpezat, grew up nearby before marrying into the Danish royal family. While he served as Denmark\u2019s prince consort, his French heritage remained a deep part of his identity.<\/p>\n Each year, the royal family continues the tradition of gathering at this idyllic spot, a favorite of Prince Joachim<\/a> and his children. The ch\u00e2teau itself dates back to the 15th century, originally built as a fortress to oversee river trade.\u00a0<\/strong>Today, its sprawling vineyards produce Malbec reds and Chardonnay whites, wines often poured at Danish state dinners and available to visitors touring the estate.<\/p>\n![\"Prince](\"https:\/\/www.hola.com\/us\/horizon\/original_aspect_ratio\/2f30b1a2eb78-bf4da4ae8c05-538222944185345245330179798063264798281960772n.jpg\")
