“It is now the assessment of the doctors that the Prince's health has improved to such an extent that His Royal Highness can be discharged,” Lene Balleby, a spokeswoman for the royal household, said in a statement.
The prince is now residing at his mother's private summer residence of Chateau de Cayx in southwestern France.
Earlier the palace said the blood clot “was due to a sudden dissection of an artery,” and doctors assessed that the risk of recurrence “is very small when the artery has healed.”
Joachim is sixth in line to Denmark's throne after his elder brother, Crown Prince Frederik, and his brother's four children. (AP)
