He's on a slightly different holiday with his girlfriend in New Zealand. As the new year approaches, Queen Margrethe II's eldest grandson has jumped into the liberating void.

Only Count Nikolai was missing in Denmark this year. And for good reason: Prince Joachim's eldest son and Queen Margrethe II's eldest grandson is on the other side of the world.

Count Nikolai wants to live this entire experience on the other side of the Earth. To make this experience completely amazing, he took his courage with both hands and jumped into the void. Count Nikolai performed a bungee jump while in New Zealand. The supermodel count considers his jump as “Work of faith”,” he wrote while sharing the video of his stunning gesture.

Nikolai – who was stripped of his title as Prince of Denmark on January 1, 2023 – added that the jump was “terrifying but liberating.” This 134 meter high jump into the void is a popular tourist spot for thrill seekers. Brave tourists, like Count Nikolai, jump into the void over the Nevis River. For days, Count Nikolai has been sharing stunning photos taken during this festive period amid New Zealand's luxurious landscapes on his Instagram account, which has nearly 90,000 subscribers.
