Both children of Queen Margrethe have married non-Europeans but so have Crown Prince Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, Prince Maximilian of Liechtenstein and Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg. Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark married Australian Mary Donaldson and his brother Prince Joachim married Alexandra Manley of Hong Kong. Joachim and Alexandra have since separated. Crown Prince Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands married Maxima Zorreguieta of Argentina; Prince Maximilian of Liechtenstein married Angela Brown, an African-American woman from the United States; Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg married Maria Teresa Mestre y Batista who was born in Cuba. In the past, the Duke of Windsor (the former King Edward VIII of the United Kingdom) married American Wallis Simpson and Prince Rainier of Monaco married American actress Grace Kelly.
