Count of Monpezat
Count of Monpezat (Danish: Greve af Monpezat), or Countess of Monpezat (Danish: Grevinde af Monpezat) when the holder is female, is a hereditary title of Danish nobility. It was granted on 30 April 2008 by Queen Margrethe II to her two sons, Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim, and their legitimate patrilineal (male-line) descendants of both sexes. The title is derived from the French title of "comte de Laborde de Monpezat", which was used by Frederik and Joachim's father, Prince Henrik.
The wife of a count has the right to use the courtesy title of countess, but a woman cannot pass the title to her husband or elevate her husband's status. Since the title can only be passed down the male line, the children of a Countess of Monpezat cannot inherit the title, but those children are styled as greve (for sons) or komtesse (for unmarried daughters) as a courtesy title.
