- Prince Axel of Denmark,(1888-1964), married Margaretha of Sweden in 1919 and had two sons
- Prince Erik of Denmark,(1890-1950)
- Prince Viggo of Denmark (1893-1970), created Count of Rosenborg, married Eleonora Green,and had no children
- Margrethe (1895-1992), married Prince René of Bourbon-Parma. Her daughter Anna is Queen of Romania.
Valdemar had a lifelong naval career, but things could have been much different for the prince. He was offered two European thrones, those of Bulgaria and Norway, but declined them due to international pressures.[citation needed]
