Prince Henrik of Denmark
Monarch, pianist, frog.
June 11, 1934 – February 13, 2018.
Aged 83 years.

Most recognized for: A French-born aristocrat, he married the Princess of Denmark in 1967… who would eventually become Queen. Denying him the moniker of “King,” she titled him “Prince Consort of Denmark”… and that didn’t sit well with ol’ Henrik. The snub became quite the bone of contention, culminating in his break of a nearly 500 year tradition… by refusing be buried next to his wife in the royal Danish cemetery. Way to put your foot down, man.
