Full name
Knud Christian Frederik Michael
House Glücksburg
Father Christian X of Denmark
Mother Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin
Religion Church of Denmark
Uncle of Queen Margarthe II of Denmark, brother of her father Frederick IX.
Since Frederick IX had fathered no sons and the Danish Act of Succession at the time followed the principle of agnatic primogeniture, Prince Knud became heir presumptive and next in line to succeed his brother as king.
Frederick IX had, however, fathered three daughters. In 1953, the Danish Act of Succession was amended to follow the principle of male-preference primogeniture. The new law made Frederick IX's thirteen-year-old daughter Margrethe the new heir presumptive, placing her and her two sisters before Knud and his family in the line of succession. He became hereditary Prince of Denmark.
