Why not Prince Henrik of Denmark for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 89-year-old prince, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Prince Henrik of Denmark so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the prince have already been named ‘Dane Of The Year’ by some major Danish newspapers and even ‘Talence Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Talence (Prince Henrik of Denmark's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the prince was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#Prince Henrik of DenmarkPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! Henrik has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 23 Apr 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Prince Henrik of Denmark?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 Apr 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Prince Henrik of Denmark?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
