After signing with agency Scoop Models in early 2018, the prince made his runway debut for Burberry’s show at London Fashion Week the same year.

Although he may have made a name for himself in the fashion world, but he intends to return to higher education, with hopes of pursuing a specialised business degree at Copenhagen Business School.

Prince Nikolai didn’t rule out modelling, but explained that it wasn’t his main priority. He told media outlet, “I do not want a career as a model. I’d rather look at it as a job, which can help me along the way while educating me.”
