He was an officer of the Royal Danish Navy.
As a result of the Act of Succession of 1953, which restricts the throne to those descended from Christian X and his wife, Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, through approved marriages, he lost his place in the line of succession like his brother Oluf in 1948.
He died unmarried and without children.
