Prince Valdemar of Denmark, GCTE (Bernstorff Palace, 27 October 1858 - Copenhagen, 14 January 1939) was the youngest son of Christian IX of Denmark and his wife Luise of Hesse-Kassel (or Hesse-Cassel).
He married Princess Marie d'Orleans on 20 October 1885 in a civil ceremony in Paris. They had a religious ceremony on 22 October 1885 at the Château d'Eu. They had five children:
- Prince Aage of Denmark (1887–1940), married Mathilda Calvi dei Conti di Bergolo in 1914 and had one son
- Prince Axel of Denmark (1888–1964), married Margaretha of Sweden in 1919 and had two sons
- Prince Erik of Denmark (1890–1950), married Lois Frances Booth in Ottawa, Canada 1924, divorced 1937, and had a son and a daughter.
- Prince Viggo of Denmark (1893–1970), created Count of Rosenborg, married Eleonora Green, and had no children
- Princess Margrethe of Denmark (1895–1992), married Prince René of Bourbon-Parma. Her daughter Anna is the wife of Michael, former King of Romania.
Valdemar had a lifelong naval career, but things could have been much different for the prince. He was offered two European thrones, those of Bulgaria and Norway, but declined them due to international pressures.[citation needed]
He was the 192nd Grand Cross of the Order of the Tower and Sword of Portugal.
