Without the legally required permission of the Danish king for a dynastic marriage, Prince Viggo renounced his place in Denmark's line of succession to the Crown, his title of Prince of Denmark, and his style of Royal Highness as became customary in the Danish royal house upon marriage to a commoner. Prior to the wedding Viggo with the king's authorisation, he assumed the title of His Highness Prince Viggo, Count of Rosenborg.
